Abstract

Automatic Identification System (AIS) has been widely used in smart vessel transportation aiding collision avoidance, search, rescue and traffic monitoring nowadays. AIS transceiver adopts a unique Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MM- SI) to identify a vessel uniquely. However, this identity is now simple to be forged and tampered. Besides, AIS transceiver broadcasts voyage information automatically and continuously, which makes it possible to be tracked when communicating with the sea-side infrastructures or other vessels. Thus, it poses a serious threat to vessel trajectory privacy. To tackle this problem, we first propose a Digital Certificate based Identity Authentication Scheme (IAS) to ensure the authenticity of the AIS data source. Secondly, we further propose a Mix-zone and Blind-signature based Trajectory Privacy Protection Scheme (TPPS) to guarantee that the vessel identity and trajectory information will not be leaked without losing AIS basic function. Finally we analyse the security of our scheme. The experimental results show that our scheme has the same magnitude order of time-consuming compared with the ordinary AIS data pack and unpack protocol.
