Security in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs)

  • Chapter
Wireless Network Security

Abstract

As an important component of the intelligent transportation system (ITS) and a novel form of mobile ad hoc network, Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have attracted much attention from government, academic institutions and industry. In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated 75 MHz (5.85–5.925 GHz) in the 5.9 GHz band as a new Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC) spectrum for vehicular communication. In Europe, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has also allocated a radio spectrum of 30 MHz (5.875–5.905 GHz) at 5.9 GHz. Similar bands exist in Japan. IEEE has also formed the new IEEE 802.11p task group[1], which focuses on DSRC PHY and MAC layer standard for Wireless Access for the Vehicular Environment (WAVE). Based on the IEEE 802.11p, a higher layer standard IEEE 1609 has been released for trial use[2]. Besides such efforts, many national and international projects devoted to VANETs, such as, the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) in the United States, the Car-to-Car Communication Consortium (C2C-CC) in European, and the Advanced Safety Vehicle Program (ASV) in Japan.
