Description
Summary:The emergence of the vehicular networks has led automakers and researchers to develop connected embedded applications to exchange messages as part of road safety and entertainment. Secondly, the security has become a vital prerequisite for the deployment of such networks. In terms of controlling access to resources, more heterogeneous solutions are proposed based on X.509 certificates, Kerberos tickets, Password techniques, etc. This technologies heterogeneity pushes us to find a solution in order to federate the existing techniques and even future ones. WS- Federation is one of the keys aiming to solve this problem but only suitable for SOAs based on Web Services technology. Consequently, our approach was to integrate native distributed vehicular applications in a SOA and then apply the WS-* security- related Web services specifications while checking the federated access control to resources through WS-Federation and the notion of the claims. The result is a communicative architecture based on the ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) pattern that we baptized VSB (Vehicular Served Bus).
