Abstract

This work presents the implementation of the the IEEE 1609.2 WAVE Security Services Standard. This implementation provides the ability to generate a message signature, along with the capability to verify that signature for wave short messages transmitted over an unsecured medium. Only the original sender of the message can sign it, allowing for the authentication of a message to be checked. As hashing is used during the generation and verification of signatures, message integrity can be verified because a failed signature verification is a result of a compromised message. Also provided is the ability to encrypt and decrypt messages using AES-CCM to ensure that sensitive information remains safe and secure from unwanted recipients. Additionally this implementation provides a way for the 1609.2 specific data types to be encoded and decoded for ease of message transmittance. This implementation was built to support the Smart Drive initiative’s VANET testbed, supported by the National Science Foundation and is intended to run on the Vehicular Multi-technology Communication Device (VMCD) that is being developed. The VMCD runs on the embedded Linux operating system and this implementation will reside inside of the Linux kernel.
