Security Threats & Attacks in IoV Environment: Open Research Issues and Challenges
Abstract
With advancement in technology, our lives have become safer, smarter and easier. There has been a large increase in number of vehicles connected to Internet. The rapid progress in technology has brought the concept of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) to real life. Networks involving Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication can be extended to IoV. With the help of AI knowledge of other cars and their activities, IoV helps to improve driving aids. IoV is the upgraded version of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET), which was designed to provide safe driving. Due to lack of security, IoV environments might face threats from various attacks. There are a huge number of malicious attackers because of the self-organization and openness of IoV. Thus, the users of vehicles may face grave concern as whether the information received is genuine or not. In our paper, several attacks, threats and security aspects related to IoV paradigm has been discussed along with open issues and challenges faced by IoV environment.

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.
