Abstract

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs), a subcategory of Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), is a promising approach that is now evolving, gaining attention and momentum. VANET consists of highly mobile nodes and roadside infrastructure to communicate essential information across a network, such as collisions, traffic congestion, and vehicular destinations. Due to its frequent vehicle movement, time-critical response and hybrid architecture, it comes with a plethora of network security and privacy issues ranging from the potential of malicious attacks to the availability of essential information across the network and its overall integrity. There is much research devoted to enabling secure communication in VANETs for the best Intelligent Transport System (ITS) experience. In this paper, we address and discuss the characteristics and security issues including the existing VANETs attacks and preventive approaches to each security attack emphasising the main features and the major drawbacks. The review of these different countermeasures shows their strengths and weaknesses and how they can be implemented independently or in a hybrid model best suited to the situation.
