ABSTRACT
Security plays a critical role in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). In the absence of secure mechanisms, malicious parties could inject bogus information, at best robbing VANETs of their safety benefits or at worst causing accidents. Unfortunately, VANETs pose unique new research challenges, preventing the use of existing network security mechanisms.
Industry has proposed security mechanisms to safeguard VANET operations. In this talk, we will discuss the properties and limitations of these mechanisms and present remaining research challenges.
We will then present promising proposed research mechanisms to secure VANETs beyond current industry standards, such as the application of advanced cryptographic techniques to provide anonymity, the use of trusted computing technologies such as the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG's) Trusted Platform Module (TPM), or the use of location verification. We conclude the talk with remaining open research challenges, as well as opportunities and directions for addressing these challenges.

Novel Optimized Routing Scheme for VANETs
The Vehicular ad -hoc networks (VANETs) are a specific type of Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). However, the main problem related to it is the potential high speed of moving vehicles. This special property causes frequent changing in network topology ...
Performance Optimisation for DSDV in VANETs
UKSIM '15: Proceedings of the 2015 17th UKSIM-AMSS International Conference on Modelling and SimulationIn recent years, Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) have been great interest all over the world for its advantage of high mobility and flexibility. It is also among the greatest challenges in wireless communications. As a special type of MANET, Vehicular ...
Analytical Analysis of Improved Directional Location Added Routing Protocol for VANETS
Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) is a technology used to create a wireless ad-hoc network on demand basis using mobile vehicles. In VANET, mobile vehicles behave like a transmitter and they participate during data transmission on the network. In VANET, ...
