Abstract

Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) plays an essential role in helping the development of smart cars and intelligent transportation systems. By easing congestion and speeding up data transfer, VANET makes it possible for connected cars to function more smoothly. However, VANETs are affected by different types of cyber attacks, such as distributed denial of services (DDoS) attacks. A digital twin (DT) is a replica of a physical system that operates in tandem with the actual thing, allowing for continuous monitoring and management. The DT prepares the way for the monitoring of a physical entity on a regular basis and for its automated management. The improved efficiency in keeping tabs on the physical world is largely attributable to DT. For this reason, academics are advocating for its use in a variety of settings. In this research, we use DT to solve the problem of identifying and stopping malignant nodes on a VANET infrastructure. In this paper, we proposed a framework that uses the concepts of DT for the identification of malignant nodes. Our suggested approach employs machine learning to distinguish between regular traffic and attack traffic.
