SA-EAST: Security-Aware Efficient Data Transmission for ITS in Mobile Heterogeneous Cloud Computing

The expected advanced network explorations and the growing demand for mobile data sharing and transferring have driven numerous novel applications in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). However, current ITS implementations are restricted by the conflicts between security and communication efficiency. Focusing on this issue, this article proposes a Security-Aware Efficient Data Sharing and Transferring (SA-EAST) model, which is designed for securing cloud-based ITS implementations. In applying this approach, we aim to obtain secure real-time multimedia data sharing and transferring. Our experimental evaluation has shown that our proposed model provides an effective performance in securing communications for ITS.
