Securing messages in C-ITS: a proof of concept

Today's vehicles and traffic infrastructures are becoming more and more connected, using technologies to enable users to utilize transport networks more safely and efficiently. Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) describe a domain where smart vehicles and infrastructures can inter-act and share data directly with each other. The need for a way to establish trust and preserve the integrity of the system is evident. In this paper, we present a proof-of-concept of securing messages between communicating entities in C-ITS based on the European ETSI TS 103 097 standards in the c-roads project.
