Abstract

In terms of applications and research, VANET (Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks) communication is becoming more popular. Existing VANET communication protocols try to improve network performance but fail to consider security issues. Attackers exploit the vulnerabilities of VANET communication protocols. Providing security to the VANET is still a challenging task because of the vehicles' mobility and their short communication range. Based on our study, we found that wormhole attacks are the most common type of attack on VANET communication. The existing security solutions are inadequate to prevent or detect external wormhole attacks on VANET communication because these solutions do not consider important parameters such as vehicle mobility, neighboring ratio, and node mobility to detect the wormhole attack. To address external wormhole attacks in VANETs, we propose a two-level fast and efficient distance-based external wormhole detection and prevention system in this paper. In our proposed solution, we consider the vehicles' mobility, geographical location, and distance parameters to identify and isolate external wormhole attacker nodes. For effective monitoring of wormhole attacks, we use a dynamic threshold value for suspecting external wormhole attack links and then use the hop count metric to detect and prevent it. We used SUMO with NS2 simulators to compare our proposed system with existing works, and our simulations show that our proposed security solution outperforms existing works in terms of throughput, PDR, and jitter in a wormhole attack VANET environment.
