TY - JOUR AU - Awasthi, Lalit Kumar AB - Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an internet enabled connected network of vehicles that provide services more effectively to its users via data sharing and communication with other vehicles and objects in the network. Use of fog servers to create a vehicular cloud which is connected to a primary cloud server is another effective technique that gives better performance by achieving better cooperation between the vehicular cloud and the internet. However, due to dependence on wireless technologies for communication, there is a need for a secure IoV network that can authenticate each device connecting to the network and can further secure the communication among these devices. This article introduced a secure authentication and session key management scheme for IoV (SASM‐IoV) working in fog computing‐based IoV network. SASM‐IoV first authenticates objects before entering into the network and then creates session keys for further communication to be secure. Devices registered to the network are assigned temporary identities, further used in the authentication process, thereby making our scheme more secure. SASM‐IoV protocol is effective against many security attacks such as impersonation, man‐in‐the‐middle, replay attack, and many more. Informal security analysis performed over SASM‐IoV shows that it is resilient against most security attacks. We have also performed a formal security analysis of the scheme using the widely accepted AVISPA tool. Network simulation and communication cost comparisons show that SASM‐IoV is better in terms of different network parameters and provides better security with lower costs when compared to similar security schemes.
