Evaluation and Analysis of Standard Security Technology in V2X Communication -- Exploring ECQV Implicit Certificate Cracking

In IEEE 1609.2 and IEEE 1609.2.1 standards for Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) secure communication, various security algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) have been adopted and designed. To enhance the efficiency of the Security Credential Management System (SCMS), this study evaluates the computational time for key generation, key expansion, signature generation, and signature verification under different security strengths. This study discusses relevant techniques based on Elliptic Curve Qu-Vanstone (ECQV) implicit certificates, analyzes the length of uncompressed elliptic curve points, compressed elliptic curve points, explicit certificates, and implicit certificates. Furthermore, this study proposes mathematical models to demonstrate the probability of ECQV cracking and provides suggestions for mitigating ECQV cracking risks.
