Implementation and Evaluation of Certificate Revocation List Distribution for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks Petra Ardelean Advisor: Panos Papadimitratos
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) • Designed to provide safety and comfort for passengers • Using asymmetric cryptography • Certificate Authority (CA) issues certificates • Signature verification using the public key
Problem description • CRLs are needed for • Excluding compromised, faulty or illegitimate nodes • Preventing the use of compromised cryptographic material • How to distribute large CRLs in a reasonable time with low bandwidth utilization?
State of the art (1) • Papadimitratos et al, Certificate Revocation List Distribution in Vehicular Communication Systems [1] • The CA uses the infrastructure (RSUs) to send the CRLs to the vehicles • Use encoding mechanisms for redundancy
State of the art (2) • K. Laberteaux et al, Security Certificate Revocation List Distribution for VANET [2] • RSUs used as the first phase of the dissemination • Vehicles broadcast CRL updates to other vehicles
State of the art (3) • P. Papadimitratos et al, Secure Vehicular Communications: Design and Architecture [3] • Revocation Protocol of the Tamper-Proof Device (RTPD) • Revocation Protocol using Compressed Certificate Revocation (RCCRL) • Distributed Revocation Protocol (DRP)

Vehicle – Receiving CRLs Packet format sent to the RSUs CRL version Time stamp Sequence number CA ID Encoded CRL piece Signature CA private key 1. Verify signature 2. Store CRL piece 3. If enough pieces stored, decode, i.e. reconstruct the CRL
Implementation • C++ implementation • Using openSSL cryptographic library for • Generating the CRLs • Signing and verifying the encoded pieces • Using Rabin’s algorithm as an erasure code
ImplementationNetwork Communication • Configuration file with the RSUs IP addresses • Source routing to send random pieces to each RSU • Encoded pieces sent in UDP packets
Rabin’s algorithm - Encoding CRL M M M M NxM = A X N x L B M x L W
Rabin’s algorithm - Decoding -1 A’ M x M W’ M x L M x L B = X CRL
Evaluation Settings (1) random encoded pieces RSU random encoded pieces RSU CRL Distribution System random encoded pieces RSU
Evaluation Purposes • Examine the system performance by • varying the CRL size • varying the encoding vectors number and length
Evaluation Results (1) • Figures • show 95% confidence intervals • 100 iteration for each experiment • M and N variations • M Є [25,100], increasing by 25 • N chosen as the redundancy factor is r = N/M is 1.5 • Velocity 3 km/h
Evaluation Results (2) • The encoding vectors should be chosen in concordance with the CRL size
Evaluation Results (3) • The time to reconstruct the original CRL is inverse proportional with the redundancy factor
Conclusion • First implementation of a CRL distribution system for VANET • Performance measurements conducted on the system
Further work • Compare the experimental results with simulation results • Integrate the CRL Distribution system into the Vehicular Communication project
