Abstract: Logic may implement protocols and procedures for vehicle-to-vehicle communications for platooning. Logic may implement a communications topology to distinguish time-critical communications from non-time-critical communications. Logic may sign time-critical communications with a message authentication code (MAC) algorithm with a hash function such as Keccak MAC or a Cipher-based MAC. Logic may generate a MAC based on pairwise, symmetric keys to sign the time-critical communications. Logic may sign non-time-critical communications with a digital signature. Logic may encrypt non-time-critical communications. Logic may append a certificate to non-time-critical communications. Logic may append a header to messages to create data packets and may include a packet type to identify time-critical communications.

Abstract: A first roadway system receives a communication from a second roadway system over a wireless channel, where the communication includes a description of a physical object within a driving environment. Characteristics of the physical object are determined based on sensors of the first roadway system. The communication is determined to contain an anomaly based on a comparison of the description of the physical object with the characteristics determined based on the sensors of the first roadway system. Misbehavior data is generated to describe the anomaly. A remedial action is initiated based on the anomaly.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficient group-based handling of massive internet of things (M-IoT) devices that are compatible with both current cellular networks, and next generation 5G systems. Examples allow reduced overhead between a (radio) access network (R)AN and a core network (CN) that originates from unnecessary signaling traffic for IoT devices transitioning from IDLE to CONNECTED mode, especially when sending small data packets. In addition, or in other embodiments, mobility solutions are provided for group based M-IoT.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for information-centric network namespace policy-based content delivery are described herein. A registration request may be received from a node on an information-centric network (ICN). Credentials of the node may be validated. The node may be registered with the ICN based on results of the validation. A set of content items associated with the node may be registered with the ICN. An interest packet may be received from a consumer node for a content item of the set of content items that includes an interest packet security level for the content item. Compliance of the security level of the node with the interest packet security level may be determined. The content item may be transmitted to the consumer node.

Abstract: In an automated method for providing driving assistance, an electronic control unit (ECU) of a first driving assistance system of a first vehicle receives local object information from at least one sensing component of the first driving assistance system. The first driving assistance system automatically detects external objects outside of the first vehicle, based on the local object information received from the at least one sensing component. The first driving assistance system also receives a reported object list (ROL) from a second vehicle, wherein the ROL describes objects detected by a second driving assistance system in the second vehicle. The first driving assistance system also affects operation of the first vehicle, based on (a) the external objects detected by the first vehicle and (b) the ROL from the second vehicle. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to protecting, and recovering protected information, with attribute-based encryption. a predefined attribute policy defines one or more combinations of recipient attributes that entitle the recipient entity to attain access to the protected information. A set of at least one trust criterion is derived from the predefined attribute policy. The at least one trust criterion represents a measure of trust attainable by at least one combination or relationship of the plurality of recipient attributes. At least one trust assessment is produced based on application of the predefined attribute policy to the plurality of recipient attributes. The at least one trust assessment is compared to the at least one trust criterion, the result of the comparison providing an access grant to a decryption process to recover the protected information from the cyphertext.
