Abstract

The contemporary development in vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) has delivered an emergent field for entrepreneurs and academician. VANET supports inter and intracommunication between vehicles and infrastructure. Just because of wireless medium, the secure and efficient data/messages transmission from hop to hop in VANET is a foremost challenges because it is exposed to many attacks. Subsequently, the attacks deceived the operation of network, and therefore, safety is mandatory for effective deployment of such technology. Therefore, this paper proposes a steganography-based multi-agent approach to transmit data or message securely from terminal to terminal. The agents are mounted on terminal to transmit/receive messages. The agent at one terminal performs encryption/decryption of messages with appropriate encryption scheme of steganography and effectively transmits the messages/data to other terminal. This scheme improves the proficiency of VANET communication.
