Study of Various Routing Algorithms and Their Security Challenges in VANETs
摘要
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are a specialized form of wireless communication networks where vehicles act as mobile nodes, forming an interconnected network. The efficient transmission and reception of packets between these vehicles heavily rely on the routing protocols employed within VANETs. While several routing protocols from Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) have been adapted for VANETs, the distinctive features of VANETs, like high mobility and dynamic topology, present challenges that require specific considerations. One of the key challenges in VANETs is the establishment of secure routing protocols. Due to the potential for malicious attacks, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data transmission becomes paramount. This study aims to provide a comprehensive amalgamation of the major routing protocols that have resolved the security issues in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the features offered by these protocols will be conducted, along with an evaluation of their performance aspects. By observing the strengths and weaknesses of various security mechanisms, we in this paper focused on contributing towards the advancement of secure routing in VANETs, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in the field.
