Abstract:
Ensuring the required trustiness among communicating peers is an important task in Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs), especially for safety-related applications where the margin of error is extremely undesired. Most the safety applications are a kind of decision aided system, and final decision is always taken by humans. Thus, in addition to securing inter-vehicle communication, the human factor must be also considered. With the appearance of 5G technology it became possible to connect VANET to any other network including Online Social Networks (OSNs). In this paper, we took advantage of this possibility to connect VANET and OSN, for the purpose of estimating the drivers honesty based on their OSN profiles. Afterward, we combined both inter-vehicle and OSN-based trust to compute the overall trust about the different vehicles and their drivers. Conducted simulation show that our proposal offers more than 5% detection ratio than the classical inter-vehicle solution. Furthermore, it also reduced the detection error ratio by about 3% with a reduced standard deviation for both detection and error ratios.
