Automatic Detection of Node-Replication Attack in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
This addresses security threats in resource-limited smart city applications, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing detection methods.
The paper tackles the problem of detecting node-replication attacks in Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks, proposing a new statistical methodology that claims high performance compared to state-of-the-art techniques, though no concrete numbers are provided.
Recent advances in smart cities applications enforce security threads such as node replication attacks. Such attack is take place when the attacker plants a replicated network node within the network. Vehicular Ad hoc networks are connecting sensors that have limited resources and required the response time to be as low as possible. In this type networks, traditional detection algorithms of node replication attacks are not efficient. In this paper, we propose an initial idea to apply a newly adapted statistical methodology that can detect node replication attacks with high performance as compared to state-of-the-art techniques. We provide a sufficient description of this methodology and a road-map for testing and experiment its performance.
