Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a subclass of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) types. As a key part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) framework, it can be used not only to provide value added services, but also to guarantee the security of ITS. Since VANET is extensively applied, its security is of great significance. In this paper, we model the architecture of VANET using process algebra Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP). By utilizing model checker Process Analysis Toolkit (PAT), we verify five properties (deadlock freedom, divergence freedom, data leakage, vehicle faking and RSU faking) of the model and find that the proposed architecture may cause data leakage. Hence, we improve the model by encrypting the messages with receiver's public key to cope with this problem. The new verification results show that our study can guarantee the security of VANET.
