SVCF: Secure Vehicular Cloud Framework

Vehicular cloud computing is an emerging research area which integrates the conventional cloud with the vehicular ad hoc networks. This paradigm allows vehicles to access cloud services and/or share their underutilized on-board resources. Security is an essential concern for users during cloud services access and on-board resources sharing. Thus, we are interested in this work to propose a secure vehicular cloud framework that ensures authentication and privacy requirements. The performance of this framework was evaluated and compared with related works. The results show the effectiveness of this framework in terms of authentication overhead and average authentication delay.
