Abstract

5G is emerging to serve as a platform to support networking connections for sensors and vehicles on roads and provide vehicle-to-everything (V2X) services to drivers and pedestrians. 5G V2X communication brings tremendous benefits to us, including improved safety, high reliability, large communication coverage, and low service latency. On the other hand, due to ubiquitous network connectivity, it also presents serious trust, security, and privacy issues toward vehicles, which may impede the success of 5G V2X. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey on the security of 5G V2X services. Specifically, we first review the architecture and the use cases of 5G V2X. We also study a series of trust, security, and privacy issues in 5G V2X services and discuss the potential attacks on trust, security, and privacy in 5G V2X. Then, we offer an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art strategies for securing 5G V2X services and elaborate on how to achieve the trust, security, or privacy protection in each strategy. Finally, by pointing out several future research directions, it is expected to draw more attention and efforts into the emerging 5G V2X services.
