 Introduction

 Vehicular ad-hoc network is a special kind of network in which

nodes (Vehicles) can communicate with each other on the road
and with its Infrastructure.

 Vehicular network applications require security and the objective of these applications is to
serve users and make their journey secure and comfortable.
 Attackers have their own role in this network and we cannot predict the dynamic behavior of the
attacker. If an attacker works on a safety application and changes the content of the safety
message then it poses a very difficult condition on the road and many users will be affected due
to this kind of attack.
 Accidents are often the result of an alteration of any safety message or the sending of even one
wrong safety message in a network and many human lives are at risk [1].

requirements for users. While privacy is a basic necessary
requirement for security in life saving vehicular networks, a
guarantee that not only the vehicle platform but also the
infrastructure can be trusted is also vital.
 When users receive any safety message in vehicular
communications, it is important that the message is authentic
and that the source making the request is legitimate. A new
and practical cardbased scheme has been proposed in this
paper to make possible the trusted authentication of users
while enabling various transactions with a Vehicle Service
Provider (VSP).
