  • Publication number: 20260019252
    Abstract: The proposed invention discloses an authentication scheme for avoiding emergency vehicles. Emergency vehicles send accident rescue route information and authentication message requests to the nearest roadside unit (RSU). Upon receiving the message, the RSU verifies the legitimacy of the vehicle's identity and generates shared secret values, which are encrypted and sent to the emergency vehicle. Simultaneously, the RSU forwards the avoidance route message, partial vehicle information, and the shared secret values to the second RSU along the rescue route. When the emergency vehicle reaches the second RSU, it sends a request for authentication to the RSU. Upon successful authentication, new shared secret values are generated, encrypted, and sent to the emergency vehicle. Simultaneously, the avoidance route message, partial vehicle information, and the newly generated shared secret values are passed on to the next RSU along the rescue route.

  • Publication number: 20260012346
    Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of computer security and discloses a blockchain-based anonymous authentication method for the Internet of Vehicles across trusted authorities, including registering the vehicle (with onboard unit) and roadside unit in their respective trusted authorities. When the vehicle enters different trusted authority domains, both the onboard unit and roadside unit generate corresponding authentication parameters and transmit them to the consortium blockchain of the Internet of Vehicles for verification and signature, obtaining authenticated data signed by the consortium blockchain. The onboard unit and roadside unit receive and verify the authenticated data, and upon successful verification, the onboard unit calculates a session key. The onboard unit uses the session key to sequentially transmit data with the roadside unit and the consortium blockchain.

  • Publication number: 20260011241
    Abstract: The proposed invention discloses an authentication method for emergency vehicles to quickly pass through traffic lights, which relates to the field of information security technology. The method designs a traffic light service request message propagation and handover authentication structure by considering that traffic lights are located in different roadside unit domains, enabling emergency vehicles to quickly pass through multiple traffic lights until they reach the intended destination. By introducing elliptic curve encryption operations on critical parameters during the authentication process, the security of the entire authentication process is enhanced, effectively resisting various known attacks. The adoption of elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman secret exchange values for authentication ensures the legitimacy of identities. Vehicles employ a dynamic anonymity strategy to protect privacy, avoiding the transmission of identity-related information over public channels and achieving privacy protection.

  • Publication number: 20260012350
    Abstract: The invention discloses a cross trusted authority identity authentication and message publishing method based on redactable blockchain, adopts a redactable blockchain based on chameleon hash function to replace the traditional blockchain, and the trusted authority can use the private key of the chameleon hash function to edit the block content on the blockchain, so that only legal, valid and timely information is stored on the blockchain. In addition, the trusted authority can also edit the vehicle authentication information stored on the blockchain, easily updating the vehicle information credentials or revoking the information credentials of illegal vehicles. In the process of authentication and key negotiation, cryptography tools are used to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of messages, and can effectively resist various known attacks.

  • Publication number: 20090222830
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for multi-tasking on a media player in a time-slice-circular manner. The method comprises the step of: dividing each of different functions of the media player to a plurality of tasks by a controller unit; setting a priority to each of the tasks by the controller unit; checking the priority of said each of the tasks, and changing a state of a task from “READY” to “EXECUTING” according to the priority of the task by the controller unit; and executing the tasks alternately by using time slices associated therewith by the controller unit. Since all the tasks are executed within a short time, from the user's point of view, all the tasks are executed simultaneously. Thus, multi-tasking on the media player is achieved.
