Denial of Service (DOS) Attack and Its Possible Solutions in VANET
Authors: Halabi Hasbullah, Irshad Ahmed Soomro, Jamalul-lail Ab Manan
Abstract:
Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is taking more attention in automotive industry due to the safety concern of human lives on roads. Security is one of the safety aspects in VANET. To be secure, network availability must be obtained at all times since availability of the network is critically needed when a node sends any life critical information to other nodes. However, it can be expected that security attacks are likely to increase in the coming future due to more and more wireless applications being developed and deployed onto the well-known expose nature of the wireless medium. In this respect, the network availability is exposed to many types of attacks. In this paper, Denial of Service (DOS) attack on network availability is presented and its severity level in VANET environment is elaborated. A model to secure the VANET from the DOS attacks has been developed and some possible solutions to overcome the attacks have been discussed.Keywords: Vehicular Ad hoc Network (VANET); security;availability; security attack; Denial of Service (DOS).
