A Secure And Efficient Protocol For Vehicle Digital Twin Networks Using Elliptic Curve Cryptography

Abstract

Autonomous cars (AVs) are revolutionizing transportation today, with digital twins (DTs) contributing significantly to their design and operation. DTs refer to virtual copies that mimic the behaviour of AVs in different environments. Even though there are advantages associated with the integration of AVs and DTs, there are critical privacy and safety issues involved. In response to this, we suggest a safe key agreement protocol based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for communication between AVs and DTs. This work discusses recent security advancements, gives possible attack scenarios, and analyses the computational and communication efficacy of the proposed protocol. Our security analysis is consistent with the fact that the scheme provides secure and efficient communication. Experimental findings testify that the proposed protocol satisfies all requirements for security and is more efficient than previous methods.
