Security Improvements for Connected Vehicles Position-Based Routing

The constant growing on the number of vehicles is increasing the complexity of traffic in urban and highway environments. It is paramount to improve traffic management to guarantee better road usage and people’s safety. Through efficient communications, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) can provide enough information for traffic safety initiatives, daily traffic data processing, and entertainment information. However, VANETs are vulnerable to malicious nodes applying different types of net-work attacks, where an attacker can, for instance, forge its position to receive the data packet and drop the message. This can lead vehicles and authorities to make incorrect assumptions and decisions, which can result in dangerous situations. Therefore, any data dissemination protocol designed for VANET should consider security issues when selecting the next-hop forwarding node. In this paper, we propose a security scheme designed for position-based routing algorithms, which analyzes nodes position, transmission range, and hello packet interval. The scheme deals with malicious nodes performing network attacks, faking their positions forcing packets to be dropped. We used the Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) and Network Simulator-version 3 (NS-3) to compare our proposed scheme integrated with two well-known position-based algorithms. The results were collected in an urban Manhattan grid environment varying the number of nodes, the number of malicious nodes, as well as the number of source-destination pairs. The results show that the proposed security scheme can successfully improve the packet delivery ratio while maintaining low average end-to-end delay of the algorithms.

Etude de Faisabilité des Mécanismes de Détection de Mauvais Comportement dans les systèmes de transport intelligents coopératifs (C-ITS)

International audience—Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C–ITS) is an emerging technology that aims at improving road safety, traffic efficiency and drivers experience. To this end, vehicles cooperate with each others and the infrastructure by exchanging Vehicle–to–X communication (V2X) messages. In such communicating systems message authentication and privacy are of paramount importance. The commonly adopted solution to cope with these issues relies on the use of a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that provides digital certificates to entities of the system. Even if the use of pseudonym certificates mitigate the privacy issues, the PKI cannot address all cyber threats. That is why we need a mechanism that enable each entity of the system to detect and report misbehaving neighbors. In this paper, we provide a state-of-the-art of misbehavior detection methods. We then discuss their feasibility with respect to current standards and law compliance as well as hardware/software requirements

A Survey on Attacks and Preservation Analysis of IDS in Vanet

Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) are the extremely famous enabling network expertise for Smart Transportation Systems. VANETs serve numerous pioneering impressive operations and prospects although transportation preservation and facilitation functions are their basic drivers. Numerous preservation allied VANETs functions are immediate and task imperative, which would entail meticulous assurance of preservation and authenticity. Yet non preservation associated multimedia operations, which would assist an imperative task in the future, would entail preservation assistance. Short of such preservation and secrecy in VANETs is one of the fundamental barriers to the extensive extended implementations of it. An anxious and untrustworthy VANET could be more hazardous than the structure without VANET assistance. So it is imperative to build specific that “life-critical preservation” data is protected adequate to rely on. Securing the VANETs including proper shield of the secrecy drivers or vehicle possessors is an extremely challenging assignment. In this research paper we review the assaults, equivalent preservation entails and objections in VANETs. We as well present the enormously admired common preservation guidelines which are based on avoidance as well recognition methods. Many VANETs operations entail system wide preservation support rather than individual layer from the VANETs’ protocol heap. This paper will also appraise the existing researches in the perception of holistic method of protection. Finally, we serve some potential future trends to attain system-wide preservation with secrecy pleasant preservation in VANETs.

Intrusion Detection System for Platooning Connected Autonomous Vehicles

The deployment of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) requires secure wireless communication in order to ensure reliable connectivity and safety. However, this wireless communication is vulnerable to a variety of cyber atacks such as spoofing or jamming attacks. In this paper, we describe an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) based on Machine Learning (ML) techniques designed to detect both spoofing and jamming attacks in a CAV environment. The IDS would reduce the risk of traffic disruption and accident caused as a result of cyber-attacks. The detection engine of the presented IDS is based on the ML algorithms Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) and One-Class Support Vector Machine (OCSVM), as well as data fusion techniques in a cross-layer approach. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the proposed IDS is the first in literature that uses a cross-layer approach to detect both spoofing and jamming attacks against the communication of connected vehicles platooning. The evaluation results of the implemented IDS present a high accuracy of over 90% using training datasets containing both known and unknown attacks
