ABSTRACT

Due to the rapid growth of smart devices, the development of VANET tends to mature. Although many methods have been proposed to resolve the user privacy issue in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), users still didn't know what information is collected (e.g. geolocation) and how to use .In this paper, we propose a secure and anonymous scheme for communication, which is based on blind signature techniques, and user can set their own privacy preferences before joining the VANET. Our proposed scheme lets user know whether his/her privacy preferences is suitable for VANET environment, and provide appropriate value-added service to user. Finally we will show our proposed scheme meets various security requirements.
