ABSTRACT
Many researchers have invested time, effort, and energy analyzing security and vulnerabilities in Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X). For communications like V2X, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has been formulating quality standards for these types of the methodological communication system. The Wi-Fi protocol 802.11p cannot offer data security and privacy. However, with the advent of 5G technology developments, many companies and researchers focus their attention on using 5G in V2X communication to provide people with better security and protect them from harmful acts. If the 802.11p can be exchanged with the 5G, it will surely bring advancements to the ETSI security mechanisms.
Nevertheless, it is possible to have a counterattack from the new features that have been installed. Rest assured, these attacks can be thwarted with efficiency. Research shows how to perform a statistical in-depth security analysis on V2X communication over the 5G network and how 5G can affect the communication's security. Research also shows that it is possible to make a transit from the 802.11p to 5G New Radio (NR). However, it needs some alteration in the protocol stack. That is why different types of improvements have been proposed, so that the security mechanisms will get stronger and better. Advancements in technology will eradicate the present certificate mechanism, which is needed for authentication. This will be done only because 5G prospects and aspects will provide communication with so many features that authentication will not be needed. In this chapter, we will discuss future recommendations and the positive and negative sides of V2X communication.
