Abstract: Key elements and different existing approaches intended for VANETs were studied in this paper, dealing with security, identity privacy and accounting issues. These issues can serve as the basis for identifying the main components of an appropriate service-provisioning framework. We propose a secure service-provisioning architecture, which comprises the presence of public and private certificate authorities collocated with banking modules. The purpose of this architecture is to facilitate the delivery of information services offered at the roadside infrastructure. We describe two types of delivery scenarios: single-hop and multi-hop. These scenarios provide a more detailed view on how secure service provisioning can be implemented and what type of challenges might be tackled. Future research work needs to be focused on service provisioning, which has a promising potential for the future deployment of commercial applications in VANETs.
