VCC or Vehicular Cloud Computing is a network that combines VANET (Vehicular Adhoc NETwork) and Cloud Computing principles along with wireless concepts to provide services related to safe transportation and traffic management. One important concern during VCC communication is the security of the messages transmitted. In this research work, hybrid cryptographic algorithms that combines layered and combination methods are proposed. The methodology works in two stages. In the first stage, 2 layered and 2 combination algorithms are designed, from which, the best performing method is selected. The selected methods are then hybridized to protect the VCC messages. Experimental results showed that the proposed hybrid cryptographic method is efficient when compared to the existing algorithms.
