Security Authentication Scheme for Vehicle-to-Everything Computing Task Offloading Environments

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Computational task offloading is a key technology in the field of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, where security issues represent a core challenge throughout the offloading process. We must ensure the legitimacy of both the offloading entity (requesting vehicle) and the offloader (edge server or assisting vehicle), as well as the confidentiality and integrity of task data during transmission and processing. To this end, we propose a security authentication scheme for the V2X computational task offloading environment. We conducted rigorous formal and informal analyses of the scheme, supplemented by verification using the formal security verification tool AVISPA. This demonstrates that the proposed scheme possesses fundamental security properties in the V2X environment, capable of resisting various threats and attacks. Furthermore, compared to other related authentication schemes, our proposed solution exhibits favorable performance in terms of computational and communication overhead. Finally, we conducted network simulations using NS-3 to evaluate the scheme's performance at the network layer. Overall, the proposed scheme provides reliable and scalable security guarantees tailored to the requirements of computing task offloading in V2X environments.
