Internet of Vehicle (IOV) Security Issues and Their Solutions

Vehicular Communications, 2019

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an emerging concept in intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to enhance the existing capabilities of VANETs by integrating with the Internet of Things (IoT). IoV has dominated the transportation systems due to numerous special traits like dynamic topological structures, huge network scale, reliable internet connection, compatibility with personal devices and high processing capability, etc. In this review, an in-depth survey of IoV is carried out by discussing the applications of IoV in different areas, as well as the comparative study of IoV and VANETs, is being done. Intelligent transportation system involves a huge amount of dynamic real-time critical data so its security is a major concern. Different security aspects of IoV are studied in this review which includes security requirements, security challenges, and security attacks. After this, existing security solutions of all attacks are elaborated and discussion section is provided to highlight the drawbacks of security solutions deployed for each attack as well as it emphasizes on the attacks for which no security solutions are available. Based on the extensive study conducted on this, it has been found that existing security solutions use conventional cryptographic techniques that affect the performance of the delay sensitive network i.e. IoV and VANETs. So, a lightweight authentication protocol for RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification devices) has also been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of existing solutions and to provide better performance in terms of low detection time, low CPU and memory consumption to strengthen the existing IoV environment.

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) incorporates environmental entities and networks for information exchange and service provisioning in roadside communications. Smart vehicles assisted communications are exposed to higher risks as they communicate using wireless medium. Denial of service (DoS) types of attack gain control over the wireless medium to isolate resources and services to the end-users. Reputation-based vehicle assisted communication (RVAC) proposed in this manuscript mitigates DoS attack by using global and local dependencies of the vehicles. Global and local dependencies are modeled by observing the transmission attributes associated with the vehicles. To ease adversary mitigation, the process of assessing vehicle attributes and decision making are distributed across three tiers, categorized in the IoV architecture. Central Authority (CA) works in a cooperative manner with the roadside units (RSUs) to ensure only legitimate vehicles participate in the communication process. The efficiency of the proposed RVAC is assessed and verified through extensive simulation results. RVAC performance is evaluated based upon detection time, communication loss, delay, false positive factor, and vehicle selection. The impact of vehicle density and adversary ratio are considered in the performance evaluation. Experimental results illustrate that the proposed RVAC retains a high reputed vehicle selection rate with fewer false positives, less communication loss, and shorter communication delay and detection time.

As an up-and-coming branch of the Internet of things, internet of vehicles (IoV) is imagined to fill in as a fundamental information detecting and processing platform for astute transportation frameworks. Today, vehicles are progressively being associated with the Internet of Things which empower them to give pervasive access to data to drivers and travelers while moving. Be that as it may, as the quantity of associated vehicles continues expanding, new prerequisites, (for example, consistent, secure, vigorous, versatile data trade among vehicles, people, and side of the road frameworks) of vehicular systems are developing. Right now, the unique idea of vehicular specially appointed systems is being changed into another idea called the internet of vehicles (IoV). We talk about the issues faced in implementing a secure IoV architecture. We examine the various challenges in implementing security and privacy in IoV by reviewing past papers along with pointing out research gaps and possible future work and putting forth our on inferences relating to each paper.

Electronic Control Units (ECUs) of a vehicle control the behavior of its devices-e.g., break and engine. They communicate through the in-vehicle network. Vehicles communicate with other vehicles and Road Side Units (RSUs) through Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANets), with personal devices through Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs), and with service center systems through cellular networks. A vehicle that uses an external network, in addition to the in-vehicle network, is called connected vehicle. A connected vehicle could benefit from smart mobility applications: applications that use information generated by vehicles, e.g., cooperative adaptive cruise control. However, connecting in-vehicle network, VANet, WPAN, and cellular network increases the count and complexity of threats to vehicles, which makes developing security and privacy solutions for connected vehicles more challenging. In this work we provide a taxonomy for security and privacy aspects of connected vehicle. The aspects are: security of communication links, data validity, security of devices, identity and liability, access control, and privacy of drivers and vehicles. We use the taxonomy to classify the main threats to connected vehicles, and existing solutions that address the threats. We also report about the (only) approach for verifying security and privacy architecture of connected vehicle that we found in the literature. The taxonomy and survey could be used by security architects to develop security solutions for smart mobility applications.

The accelerated evolution in computing and transmission automation of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has led to enormous research standards that attract many researchers and industries. This century of the Internet of Things (IoT) is propulsive to the routine vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in the IoV. It has emerged as one of the major driving forces for innovations in the intelligent vehicular industry. The World Health Organization (WHO) report confirms that approximately 1.35 million people die because of accidents on the road every year. This requires considerable attention to incorporate more and more safety measures into the automobile industry. Intelligent transportation systems can help bridge the gap between the traditional and the intelligent automotive industry by connecting vehicle to vehicle (V2V) and vehicle to infrastructure (V2I), hence adding much safety in vehicular communication. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) whic...

Due to the growth of vehicular activities in the current scenario, the mortality rate increased because of the accidents. More and more vehicles are increasing, which are associated with the IoVs making the network activities more challenging. Therefore IoV is the conjunction of internet transmission with IoT. It is a developing area of the automated manufacturing and essential section of the Smart-cities. Generally, IoV is a global system linking smart entities and is capable to connect them. When the smart objects are interconnected over the internet which are wholly vehicles, then IOT(internet of things) turns intoIOV (internet of vehicles). Generally, IoV is designed to address and resolve various issues by encouraging the goal of fewer accidents, less energy dissipation, less emission, high efficiency by the development of the automobiles and communication (transportation) scheme.However, some of the applications of IoV are; traffic guideline scheme, secure navigation, intelligent vehicle control, reducing congestion and accidents, electronic toll collection, monitoring of the traffic flow.In this research, an overview of the internet of vehicles (IoV) is described.

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) provides new opportunities for the coordination of vehicles for enhancing and improving safety and transformation performance because many accidents occur in road. So, safety plays an important role. To prevent the vehicle from hijacked this proposed model is designed. If it was discussed about the authentication of vehicles, then there are protocols proposed by another author, but does not work of authentication of the vehicular user in the network. so, to remove this drawback this proposed model is discussed. This ASC protocol is used for vehicular user authentication and certificate used for vehicle authentication and also to avoid collision due to unnecessary delivery of messages. Both ASC protocol and certificate are combined for the authenticity of vehicular user and vehicle. To verify this protocol working condition Example, flowchart and algorithms are discussed for the authenticity of vehicle and user. This proposed approach is verified by using t...
