5G Enabled VANET Architecture Incorporating Security and Trust Management Mechanism

Recent advancements in the contemporary digital era leads researchers to deem and develop VANET technology integrated with 5 th Generation (5G) network which inducts both Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) communication to amplify its requirements in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). For procurement of seamless incorporation of 5G and VANET, various system architecture and issues are addressed. However, owing to mobility of the vehicles, openness nature of the network and traditional network structure of VANET, security of end users and flexibility of the network are major concerns that are need of the hour to be addressed for widespread of deployment/adoption of 5G Enabled VANET. Therefore, this paper provides an architecture wherein the existing security requirements as well as the 5G security standards coexists to bear a secure 5G Enabled VANET paradigm. It also focuses on various security issues that are needed to be considered to enable a secure and efficient amalgamation of 5G and VANET that lays out a trust management mechanism to improve the overall performance of the 5G Enabled VANETs.
