Abstract

Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) are gaining a lot of interest in these last years. Connected and autonomous vehicles are becoming a reality and security aspects need to be considered in the vehicle’s communication and architecture in order to support critical services. In this paper, an additional security module has been proposed and added in OMNeT++ to support security features in vehicle communications. Cryptography and authentication services have been introduced to protect VANET by black-hole attacks. Some attack scenarios have been considered and security features have been proposed to mitigate or avoid these security attacks. Security features increase a little bit the protocol overhead, but they are able to maintain good performance under attack scenario. Performance evaluation has been led out considering as metrics the number of dropped packets, number of sent packets and the end-to-end delay.
