An efficient implementation of a method to detect sybil attacks in vehicular ad hoc networks using received signal strength indicator

Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) are useful in implementing a smart transportation system by enabling ad hoc vehicle to vehicle communication. Sybil attack is considered to be one of the most dangerous threats to VANET. Sybil aggressor can produce different phony personalities with false messages to extremely hinder the ordinary elements of wellbeing related applications. In this paper, we are presenting an implementation of a method to detect Sybil attack using received signal strength indicator.
