Abstract: Carpooling (also known as car-sharing, ridesharing and lift sharing), is the sharing of car journeys so that more than one person travels in a single car [5]. Carpooling consists of sharing one’s personal vehicles with one or several passengers in which the related passengers shares the related costs but also help to reduce the traffic as well as pollution. One major issue in carpooling is the prior agreement between the car owner and the ride seekers. Dynamic carpooling uses an IT system to remove this limitation and provide ways to react to events such as a traffic jam as well as improving the quality of life benefits of participating people. But it requires accessing potentially sensitive information such as the real time users’ position or their identity. So there must be an efficient security mechanism should be implemented to protect data exchanged to provide the service but also to increase the users’ confidence in the tool. This paper mostly focuses on the security services allowing both the mutual authentication of the users and of the application components with the system. Traffic congestion and the associated pressure in car parking, that results from increased number of cars on the road ,it require the study of innovative measures to reduce the number of cars traveling every day to the main areas in the city, specifically single occupant vehicles.
