contents A leading industry standard for secure and trusted communication in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) is the Security Credential Management System (SCMS). It uses anonymous certificates, functioning as pseudonyms, to preserve the privacy of vehicles. With the rapid development of advanced applications in VANETs, such as crowdsensing and federated learning, vehicles need to communicate with each other or infrastructures more frequently, leading to a higher demand for pseudonyms. However, the current approach of certificate provisioning in SCMS is not able to fully support pseudonyms, due to storage limitation, cost of connectivity establishment, and communication overhead of certificate downloading. To tackle this challenge, we propose a non-interactive approach for SCMS, allowing vehicles themselves to generate short-term key pairs and anonymous implicit certificates. Our evaluation and comparison with previous work show that our solution not only effectively reduces the communication cost, but also grants vehicles greater flexibility in certificate generation and use. On the technical side, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first work which (1) applies sanitizable signature for non-interactive anonymous certificate generation, and (2) is specifically designed for SCMS, which opens up possibilities for extensions and applications in industry.
