What is it about?
This paper offers a comprehensive review of evaluation methodologies and metrics used to assess security and privacy solutions in vehicular networks. Vehicular networks provide users with essential safety and infotainment services, like weather forecasts and real-time road conditions, but ensuring their security and privacy is crucial, as vulnerabilities could directly impact users' safety on the road. The paper highlights various approaches to measure, prove, and analyze these security and privacy solutions, aiming to guide researchers and practitioners in choosing the right evaluation methods for their work. This will ultimately help them compare their solutions with existing ones and address the challenges in this field.

Why is it important?
Vehicular networks are transforming transportation by offering connected services that improve road safety, efficiency, and user experience. However, as these networks become more integrated into everyday life, ensuring the security and privacy of users becomes more critical. Cyberattacks, privacy breaches, and other risks could jeopardize both personal safety and system integrity. This paper’s contribution is important because it provides researchers with a structured approach to evaluate the effectiveness of their security and privacy solutions, helping to improve the overall safety of vehicular networks. By offering a clear understanding of the evaluation metrics, it helps ensure that solutions are not just theoretically sound but also practically effective.
Perspectives
This work lays the groundwork for future research in the field of vehicular network security and privacy. As these networks become more sophisticated and widespread, a standardized set of evaluation methods and metrics will be key in developing robust solutions. The review provided in the paper can guide not only current researchers but also future innovators in the field, ensuring that advancements in vehicular networks are both safe and reliable. Furthermore, the impact of this research extends beyond vehicular networks—it could influence how we approach security and privacy evaluations in other emerging areas like autonomous vehicles, smart cities, and the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
