A SECURE DATA MANAGEMENT SCHEME FOR INTERNET OF VEHICLES

Internet of Vehicles(IoV) is a self-configuring network connecting vehicles in-order to achieve unified management. It helps in monitoring vehicles and provide communication among them. IoV offers several benefits such as travel comfort, safe driving, road optimization, traffic analysis etc. The number of vehicles are increasing day by day, so the network is growing very fast. The dynamic topology of the network add complexity to it. Authentication of vehicle nodes should be provided. Another security requirement is the privacy of the data in this network, the network should be trustworthy. Since it is an open network, attacks such as data falsification, Man in the Middle attack, replay attack etc may occurs. So efficient encryption techniques are needed to ensure privacy. Since we are living in an internet era, the data in this network become large in terms of size and dimension, hence scalability of this IoV is a big question. The existing IoT protocols fails to provide scalability for storing this Big data in large scale IoV. So a reliable and secure mechanism for Big data collection, processing and storing in Internet of Vehicles is to be developed.
