Summary:With the emergence of the sixth-generation (6G) communication technologies, the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is rapidly developing with the coordination between intelligent networked vehicles, road infrastructures, and the cloud. However, the openness and dynamic nature of the IoV raise significant security and privacy concerns, highlighting the need for efficient authentication schemes. Conventional authentication schemes are no longer suitable for 6G-enabled IoV due to high latency, single point of failure, and heavy management costs. Additionally, existing literature on multi-domain authentication mainly investigates vehicle mobility, ignoring the challenges posed by vehicle heterogeneity. To fill this gap, we propose a multi-domain authentication scheme with conditional privacy preservation (MACPP) that considers administrative domains ( AD ) and geographic domains ( GD ) in the IoV. In MACPP, we design a novel identity-based signature scheme without requiring bilinear pairing for efficient authentication. Additionally, we propose a blockchain-assisted pseudonym management scheme (BAPM) to further improve system security by designing a dynamical sparse Merkle tree structure (DSMT). We demonstrate that the proposed MACPP satisfies the security requirements through an in-depth security analysis. Moreover, the experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of both MACPP and BAPM.
