Technology such as vehicular ad hoc networks can be used to enhance the convenience and safety of passenger and drivers. The vehicular ad hoc networks safety applications suffer from performance degradation due to channel congestion in high-density situations. In order to improve vehicular ad hoc networks reliability, performance, and safety, wireless channel congestion should be examined. Features of vehicular networks such as high transmission frequency, fast topology change, high mobility, high disconnection make the congestion control is a challenging task. In this paper, a new congestion control approach is proposed based on the concept of hybrid power control and contention window to ensure a reliable and safe communications architecture within the internet of vehicles network. The proposed approach performance is investigated using an urban scenario. Simulation results show that the network performance has been enhanced by using the hybrid developed strategy in terms of received messages, delay time, messages loss, data collision and congestion ratio.

Vehicular Ad-hoc NETworks (VANETs) currently provide a prominent field of research, which aims at improving everyday road safety and comfort. To achieve this, the deployment of several potential applications is envisioned, promising to provide extraordinary benefits, but will also represent important security challenges due to the unique characteristics of VANETs. In this chapter, VANET’s security issues are addressed, and the most outstanding security approaches are discussed. As a proof of concept, a PKI -based protocol, able to cope with the interoperability issues among untrusted CA domains is presented, and the trade-offs between security and performance are empirically analyzed and stressed.

Vehicular ad hoc networks, known as VANETs, are deployed to improve passenger comfort as well as to reduce the risk of road accidents by allowing vehicles to provide a warning in real time when a critical event is detected. In such networks, communication is possible both between the vehicles themselves and between the vehicles and the infrastructure. These applications need a reliable and secure broadcast system that takes into consideration the security issues in VANETs, the high speed of nodes, and the strict QoS requirements. For these reasons, the authors propose a trust-based and centralized TDMA-based MAC protocol that avoids time slot assignment to malicious nodes and minimizes message collision. The solution is based on the design of a generic trust mechanism for VANETs based on the MAC requirements and its integration into a centralized TDMA-based MAC protocol, named trust-CTMAC. The mechanism will permit roadside units (RSUs) to manage trust level assignment via security check during free slot allotment. The experiments carried out and the results obtained prove the effectiveness of the approach.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a class of ad hoc networks in which vehicle communicate with each other to show the traffic situation and any mishappening on the road. VANET is vulnerable to a number of attacks due to its infrastructure-less nature. One of these attacks is the Sybil attack. Security of data dissemination in VANET is very crucial, otherwise any mishappening can occur on road. Sybil attack is very difficult to be defended and detected, especially when it is launched by some conspired attackers using their legitimate identities, and this has become a growing research interest in VANETs in past few years. This chapter studies various dimension of VANETs including its structure, communication architecture, security issues, and critical review of technique to detect Sybil attacks.

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are a promising communication scenario. Several new applications are envisioned, which will improve traffic management and safety. Nevertheless, those applications have stringent security requirements, as they affect road traffic safety. Moreover, VANETs face several security threats. As VANETs present some unique features (e.g. high mobility of nodes, geographic extension, etc.) traditional security mechanisms are not always suitable. Because of that, a plethora of research contributions have been presented so far. This chapter aims to describe and analyze the most representative VANET security developments.
