Abstract

The integration of the information and communication technologies of cloud computing Software Defined Networking SDN and Internet of Things IoT into traditional transportation infrastructures enables the evolution of Intelligent Transportation Systems ITS Moreover the specific requirements for realtime applications and service provision near to consumers introduce the utilization of fog computing as an extension of cloud However such a movement affects security aspects and poses new access control challenges In this paper we study the operational characteristics of a proposed ITS paradigm utilizing fog computing and identify corresponding access control issues To address these issues in such a versatile and highly distributed environment we present the key pointers of an attributebased access control scheme suitable for fog computing This paper aims to set a basis for further work in refining verifying and validating the proposed solution
