Summary - X.1384 (09/2024) - Security requirements and guidelines for vehicular edge computing

Recommendation ITU-T X.1384 provides security requirements and guidelines for vehicular edge computing (VEC). VEC refers to a computing paradigm that deploys processing capability at network edge to distribute computing resources across a core cloud in intelligent transport system (ITS) environments. VEC also provides more localized storage and application services to road users, enabling lower latency delays, faster response times, location awareness, high availability, and enhanced quality of service for streaming real-time applications, since data processing is conducted closer to the vehicle.
VEC faces many security challenges and issues due to its need for faster service response time to end users. This Recommendation analyses the threats and vulnerabilities associated with VEC and provides the security requirements for its deployment. Further, it also provides use cases for VEC services.
