Abstract: A man-in-the-middle protection module can monitor data traffic exchanged between a source and destination nodes over a source-destination link via a network. The module can utilize a traffic probe packet to determine a packet delay associated with the data traffic. The module can store the packet delay and can determine that the packet delay is greater than a normal packet delay. If so, the module can determine that an attacker has compromised the source-destination link. The module can command a virtual machine associated with the source node to be decommissioned. The module can instruct a virtualization orchestrator to create a new source node. The data traffic can be rerouted to be exchanged between the new source node and the destination node over a new source-destination link via the network. The module can create and send fake data traffic towards the MitM attacker over the source-destination link via the network.

Abstract: Secure communication for autonomous vehicles can be increased by performing authentication operations before nodes, such as vehicles, roadside equipment (RSE), or base stations, are within communications range. A digital certificate management system for mobile nodes, including for moving vehicles, can facilitate ultra fast communications between vehicles and other nodes. The RSE can propagate vehicle node data, comprising direction, speed, or estimated time of arrival, to other vehicles and/or other RSEs. Consequently, this propagation of data prior to the communication between nodes can facilitate an efficient authentication system.
