However, this type of network is vulnerable to eavesdropping due to the wireless medium of the spread of Beacons messages, which makes drivers worry about the possibility of being pursued through the network. Thus, protecting the privacy of vehicles is an urgent matter in VANETS environments. In this paper, a privacy protection system based on changing pseudonyms depending on the speed of the vehicle and its location inside or outside the predefined mix-zones is proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed strategy is an effective strategy to protect the location information of vehicle drivers. The proposed strategy outperforms existing strategies in terms of mean number tracker confusion, continuous tracking period, and maximum entropy. © 2022 IEEE. date: 2022 publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85130100408&doi=10.1109%2fDASA54658.2022.9765290&partnerID=40&md5=347761dcbdc1be0388ad01c8930863c7 id_number: 10.1109/DASA54658.2022.9765290 full_text_status: none publication: 2022 International Conference on Decision Aid Sciences and Applications, DASA 2022 pagerange: 800-803 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781665495011 citation: Shaleesh, I.S. and Almohammedi, A.A. and Mohammad, N.I. and Muneer, A.
