Abstract
Logic may implement protocols and procedures for vehicle-to-vehicle communications for platooning. Logic may implement a communications topology to distinguish time-critical communications from non-time-critical communications. Logic may sign time-critical communications with a message authentication code (MAC) algorithm with a hash function such as Keccak MAC or a Cipher-based MAC. Logic may generate a MAC based on pairwise, symmetric keys to sign the time-critical communications. Logic may sign non-time-critical communications with a digital signature. Logic may encrypt non-time-critical communications. Logic may append a certificate to non-time-critical communications. Logic may append a header to messages to create data packets and may include a packet type to identify time-critical communications. Logic may decode and verify the time-critical messages with a pairwise symmetric key. And logic may prioritize time-critical communications to meet a specified latency.
