Abstract

In recent years, Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) could facilitate the decision-making progress of the drivers for example trip planning with the consideration of traffic. In the VANET, the Sybil attack is a very serious attack that collapses the security. In literature, some of the methods are reviewed to detect Sybil attacks in VANETs, but it fails to achieve Sybil attack detection. Hence, in this paper, Emperor Penguin Optimization-based Routing protocol (EPORP) is developed for detecting the Sybil attack which enhances the VANETs security. The main motive of the research is detecting the Sybil attack in VANETs for enhancing the secure operation. In the proposed approach, the Sybil attack will be detected with the help of the Rumour riding technique. To enhance the security of the VANETs, the Split XOR (SXOR) operation is utilized. In the SXOR operation, the optimal key is selected with the help of Emperor Penguin Optimization (EPO). The proposed method is implemented in the NS2 platform and performances are evaluated by metrics such as delay, throughput, delay, encryption time, and decryption time. The proposed method is compared with existing methods such as Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Firefly Algorithm (FA) respectively. While analyzing the delivery ratio, the proposed method has 0.96 s, and the WOA, PSO, and FA are 0.94, 0.92, and 0.90 respectively. From the analysis, the proposed method has a high delivery ratio value compared with the WOA, PSO, and FA methods. Similarly, the other parameters are analyzed and compared with the existing methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
