ITU-T - SG17 - X.itssec-5Security guidelines for vehicular edge computing

This draft Recommendation provides security guidelines for vehicular edge computing. Vehicular edge computing (VEC) is a model that supports the core cloud's capacity for decentralizing the concentration of computing resources in data centers. VEC also provides more localized storage and application services to road users, thereby making it possible to achieve lower latency delays, faster response times providing mobility support, location awareness, high availability, and Quality of Service for streaming real-time applications since the data processing is conducted closer to the vehicle. Vehicular edge computing faces many security challenges and issues since it requires providing faster service response time to end-users. This Recommendation provides security guidelines for vehicular edge computing based on an analysis of the threats and vulnerabilities identified within VEC. Further, it also provides use cases for a security system and relevant security requirements for use in for vehicular edge computing scenarios.
