In vehicular ad hoc network (VANET), vehicles equipped with computing, sensing, and communication capabilities can exchange information within a geographical area to distribute emergency messages and achieve safety system. Then how to enforce fine grained control of these messages and ensure the receiving messages coming from the claimed source in such a highly dynamic environments remains a key challenge that affects the quality of service. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical access control with authentication scheme for transmitted messages with security assurance over VANET. By extending ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) with a hierarchical structure of multiple authorities, the scheme not only achieves scalability due to its hierarchical structure, but also inherits fine-grained access control on the transmitted messages. Also by exploiting attribute-based signature (ABS), the scheme can authorize the vehicles that can most appropriately deal with the message efficiently. The results of efficiency analysis and comparison with the related works show that the proposed scheme is efficient and scalable in dealing with access control and message authentication for data dissemination in VANET.
