Internet of vehicles (IOV): Evolution, architectures, security issues and trust aspects

Abstract

The incessant progression in technology in the field of communication and connectivity has given a paradigm shift leading vehicular Ad-hoc network (VANET) towards internet of vehicle (IOV). This paradigm shift is a result of merging the concept of VANET with internet on things (IOT). Clearly IOT is one of today’s tempting technologies and effective VANET is the need of Time. However, to date the concept for internet of vehicles is not fully developed to be deployed as there are various security and trust related issues associated IOV which needs attention. So, in this paper the state of art of IOV is discussed with emphasis on motivation, IOV architectures, security, trust establishment techniques, trust models comparison. Finally, the security challenges for IOV are discussed and future aspects of IOV are envisioned.
