Towards Effective Security Framework for Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Vehicular Ad-Hoc networks (VANETs) have been identified as a key ICT technology for significantly improving, among others, road safety and transport efficiency. However, recently many security issues have been identified which require immediate attention and effective solutions. This paper is a first step towards providing a comprehensive security framework for VANETs. It includes mechanisms for exchanging messages in a secured manner. Additionally, it provides means to monitor and to secure routing protocols, as well as to detect and remove untrusted
