The present invention proposes a vehicle
authentication method with
privacy protection based on PUF, and the steps are as follows:
system initialization: selecting an on-board unit OBU and an elliptic curve with a PUF function; communicating with a trust agency TA, the on-board unit OBU registers, and the roadside unit RSU registers; the vehicle user logs in to the on-board unit OBU;
authentication between the on-board unit OBU of the vehicle and the roadside unit RSU: verifying the legitimacy of the on-board unit OBU through the
authentication parameters of the on-board unit OBU, the PUF function and the PUF
verification value and calculating the communication key I; authentication of the on-board unit OBU between vehicles: generating a temporary private key and a public key using a
random number generation function and a base point, verifying the legitimacy of the vehicle through a secure
hash function and authentication parameters and generating a communication key. The authentication of vehicles and vehicles and the authentication of vehicles and roadside RSUs of the present invention do not require the participation of the trust agency TA, and the reliability of authentication is guaranteed by using the PUF function and the elliptic curve.
