Securing intelligent vehicular ad hoc networks: A survey

Abstract

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) is an intelligent transportation system that provides wireless communication between vehicles and different objects in the road to increase efficiency and human safety using various applications. However, all this attractive features of VANETs will increase security risks and privacy problems if security attacks is not studied and analyzed thoroughly and completely. This paper discuss VANETs’ features, and structures. In addition, it list different security attacks and provide a unique classification for them. Finally, it goes through security architectures and schemes used in VANETs.
