Efficient and Anonymous Authentication With Succinct Multi-Subscription Credential in SAGVN

In this paper, we propose an efficient and anonymous authentication protocol with a succinct multi-subscription credential (AnMsc) in Space-air-ground integrated vehicular networks (SAGVN). First, we adopt a subscription-based service model in SAGVN. Specifically, vehicular users (VEs) can subscribe to network services and conduct direct mutual authentication with subscribed access points (APs) to avoid message exchanges with VEs’ home network. Early application data can also be transmitted with authentication messages to improve communication efficiency. Second, we carefully tailor the design of the redactable signature and propose an efficient credential management mechanism in SAGVN. Multiple service subscriptions can be embedded into a succinct (constant-size) credential. With the credential, VEs can anonymously access any subscribed AP without revealing other subscription information. Thorough security analysis and comprehensive performance evaluation demonstrate that AnMsc can guarantee key-exchange security, VE anonymity, and service fairness while ensuring credential management and authentication efficiency.
