Security in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks through Mix-Zones Based Privacy

Vehicular Networks (VNs) seek to provide, among other applications, safer driving conditions. Vehicles need to periodically broadcast safety messages providing precise position information to nearby vehicles. Recent advances in development of Wireless Communication in Vehicular Adhoc Network (VANET) has provided emerging platform for industrialists and researchers. Vehicular adhoc networks are multi-hop networks with no fixed infrastructure. As a result, the driver’s privacy is at stake. In order to mitigate this threat, while complying with the safety requirements of VNs, the creation of mix-zones security at appropriate places of the VN to prevent the attacks Vehicle. Propose to do so with the use of cryptography algorithm AES with zone based routing protocol, analytically how the combination of mix-zones into mix-networks brings forth location privacy in vehicle node. Finally, show by simulations that the proposed zone based security is effective in various scenarios.
