A Taxonomy of Security Attacks and Issues in Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs)

VANET has turned into an effective area of research, standardization and advancement, because it has impressive potential to raise vehicle and road safety, welfare, as well as convenience to both drivers and passengers and traffic adaptability. A lot of VANET Research work has been centered on particular areas including broadcasting, routing, surveillance and quality of service. The security benchmarks of vehicular Ad hoc network are examined here. Due to the unguarded nature of the VANET system routing protocols, such networks are also unsafe from the malicious mobile nodes in the structure itself. Hence the fundamental objective of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), i.e., safe transmission of the time critical data, is possible only if a sturdy framework provides this insurance at all times. In this paper, various security protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks and achievement of mechanisms are discussed to give security. In this paper various types of security complications and objections of VANET have been figured out and examined
