Secure WSN Architecture Utilizing Hybrid Encryption with DKM to Ensure Consistent IoV Communication

Reliable communication is essential in the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) framework, where the efficient transmission of important information is required to ensure vehicle safety and smart traffic control. This investigation centers on the issue of developing trustworthy connectivity in the IoV components through implementing a robust infrastructure for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). This article introduces a new approach to data encryption by combining Improved Elliptic Curve Cryptography (IECC), AES-256, with dynamic key management (DKM). The current study addresses the primary challenge of balancing efficient communications and data protection in the IoV. The hybrid cryptography method we employ utilizes the data confidentiality offered by AES-256, the computational capabilities of IECC, and the periodic updating of keys delivered by a DKM framework. Employing this amalgamation of methods diminishes the performance burden linked to traditional encryption techniques. We conducted a comprehensive range of diagnostic procedures and analyses to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The findings revealed substantial benefits compared to existing encryption methods, i.e., i.e., RSA, 3-DES, AES-256, and ECCC. The proposed hybrid security method exhibited a significant 30
