Abstract

Intelligent vehicle technologies have been developed rapidly in recent year. Smart vehicles can exchange the essential information, such as the road and weather conditions, to guarantee the road safety. However, vehicles communicate with each other or the Road Side Unit (RSU) via wireless channel, which poses many challenges to fulfill the security requirements. In the data routing process, attackers can analyze, modify or drop the data packets to reveal the vehicles’ privacy or disturb the normal communication. In this paper, we devise a Security Aware Fuzzy embedded ACO routing algorithm (SAFACO) in VANETs, which combines digital signatures with fuzzy logic embedded ACO based routing protocol. After introducing the main structure of SAFACO, we also provide a detailed discussion of its security mechanism. The proposed secure communication scheme is able to provide the authentication, ensure the data consistency, preserve the privacy of vehicles, also to detect and isolate malicious vehicles.
