Security in vehicular adhoc networks

Abstract

Vehicular Adhoc Networks these days are attracting much attention as they are expected to greatly influence and improve road safety as well as driving conditions. But along with all the benefits that it offers, there is more chance of giving way to frequent and severe malicious attacks. Due to this reason much attention is being given to the security and privacy issues in VANETs. A lot of research work of being performed to improve the standards of this network. In this paper we present an overview on some of the important research works proposed on the security in VANETs. In this paper we review recent advances on some of the security proposals for VANETs proposed by researchers.
