A TPM-based Architecture to Secure VANET

Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET) is a special network of vehicles which can communicate with one another on the roads. Now days, VANET get increased attention by vehicle manufactures and researchers. However their deployment requires that security and privacy issues to be resolved, since they rely on wireless communication. In this paper, we are going to represent that security architecture built around TPMs can provide satisfactory solution. Moreover, this architecture does not require deployment of base stations along the roads. We will also show that how hardware device like USB memory stick will improve the anonymity in order to prevent unauthorized vehicle tracking.
