  Road network is employed for exchanging the information among the vehicles
where accidents and traffic information can be delivered, or receive services
by an infrastructure. Although wireless communication systems yield an
efficient traffic system and provide ease to the drivers, there is a chance of
a traffic disturbance and risk to drivers through malicious information. So,
there should be examined a way to limit the chance of an intermediate attack.
This paper presents an efficient user based authentication protocol for
location based services to secure address configuration for IPv6-based
mix-zones over the road network. This protocol authenticates to inspect
vehicles actions confidentially and have the following characteristics (1)
Anonymous authentication: a message issuer can be authenticated. (2) Privacy:
Communication content is confidential. The cost must be reduced through the
address configuration scheme to improve the scalability. (3) Efficiency: it
attains quick message verification, low storage requirements, and in case of a
dispute, provides cost efficient identity tracking. Vehicles movement, the
variation of velocity and distance are considered to maintain as many common
users as possible by reducing the cost. The performance evaluation and cost
analysis show that our framework can reduce the cost and gain outperformed
results. This model can achieve reliability and efficiency with packet rate
information. This user authenticated key establishment protocol has
comparatively shorter time response, diminishes cost, less packet loss
information and enhanced privacy preservation against malicious attacks
compared with existing methods.
