The vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is a platform for exchanging information between vehicles and everything to enhance driver’s driving experience and improve traffic conditions. The reputation system plays an essential role in judging whether to communicate with the target vehicle based on other vehicles’ feedback. However, existing reputation systems ignore the privacy protection of feedback providers. Additionally, traditional VANET based on wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has limited power, storage, and processing capabilities, which cannot meet the real-world demands in a practical VANET deployment. Thus, we attempt to integrate cloud computing with VANET and proposes a privacy-preserving protocol of vehicle feedback (PPVF) for cloud-assisted VANET. In cloud-assisted VANET, we integrate homomorphic encryption and data aggregation technology to design the scheme PPVF, in which with the assistance of the roadside units (RSU), cloud service provider (CSP) obtains the total number of vehicles with the corresponding parameters in the feedback for reputation calculation without violating individual feedback privacy. Simulation results and security analysis confirm that PPVF achieves effective privacy protection for vehicle feedback with acceptable computational and communication burden. Besides, the RSU is capable of handling 1999 messages for every $300ms$ , so as the number of vehicles in the communication domain increases, the PPVF has a lower message loss rate.
