dc.description.abstract This research devises a unified method for the distribution of pseudonyms in hybrid ephemeral vehicular networks (VNs), which are often referred to as vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), for the purposes of refill, intra-regional, and inter-regional movement. This work addresses a significant impediment to the use of pseudonyms, which has been almost universally accepted (and is on the verge of being standardized by the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Society for Automotive Engineers (SAE) as the best means to balance attribution and privacy to maximize the value of infrastructure deployment and citizen acceptability (i.e. use). The results include a pseudonym distribution protocol that maximizes ease of use while not compromising the security or privacy pseudonyms afford. These results contribute to the solution, in a scalable, adaptive, and bandwidth efficient manner, one of the remaining impediments to the adoption of VANETs. The new method shows improved performance compared to a baseline pseudonym distribution method that does not take these factors into consideration. en_US
