Secret Key Establishment Using Modified Quantization Log For Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network

Abstract

Traditional cryptographic approaches such as symmetric and asymmetric cryptography are commonly employed to solve network security issues. The Secret Key Generation (SKG) system has the advantage of extracting secret keys from a wireless channel's physical layer information. It allows two wireless devices within the transmission range to extract a shared symmetric key without the use of a fixed key distribution infrastructure, allowing vehicular ad hoc networks to exchange information (VANET). This study aims to create a secure data communication system on the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network using RSS Key Generation. Starting from the Modified Quantization Log, the results of the Modified Quantization Log show that the average KDRM between Alice and Bob is the average KDRM between Alice and Bob is 9.4%; meanwhile, the average KGR is 71.4 bps. This shows that the number of bit mismatches after the Modified Quantization Log process between the two valid users is already small, because they have used the pre-processing process in front of them, namely using the Kalman Filter and from the results of the BCH Code to be matched again so that it becomes the key. The next process is Universal Hash which is tested with the NIST test. The NIST Test parameters used are approximately entropy, frequency, block frequency, longest run, cumulative sum forward, and cumulative sum reverse. The existing results are appropriate; namely, the threshold in p whose value is above 0.01 is achieved. From the results of the Average Approximate Entropy, it is found that the largest value is obtained by the 40k10ms scheme, which is 0.7352.
