Abstract

Communication in the green Internet of Vehicles (IoV) demands significant energy, encompassing both communication and computation costs, along with fuel and electricity for vehicle operation. The rise of quantum computing threatens the security of existing IoV frameworks, particularly those relying on conventional public-key cryptosystems (PKC) like integer factorization and elliptic curve cryptography, which are vulnerable to quantum attacks. This paper proposes a lightweight, postquantum security protocol for electric vehicles (EVs) in IoV, aimed at reducing computation and communication costs while enhancing energy efficiency. We conduct a comprehensive security analysis and compare our protocol with existing solutions, demonstrating its superior security, scalability, and practical effectiveness. Network simulations using NS3 further validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed scheme for green IoV applications.
