Provision of Security in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks through an Intelligent Secure Routing Scheme

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are providing road management systems by a wide variety of different value-added safety and infotainment applications. The main aim of these networks is to provide data communications among vehicles with or without infrastructure. Due to advancements and wide deployment of wireless technologies in these networks, different types of security attacks and malicious abuses may lead to catastrophic results in the networks. In this paper, we propose an Intelligent Secure Routing Scheme (ISRS) to secure the data communication with or without infrastructure especially for emergency messages propagation. Simulation results indicate the superiority of proposed scheme on data security in the presence of malicious nodes activities in the network.
