Vehicles handover from one road-side unit to another is a common phenomenon in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). Authenticating vehicles effectively is the key to success of VANETs. Li and Liu et al. proposed a lightweight identity authentication protocol (LIAP) for VANTEs recently, which is based...
