What is it about?

Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) is an indispensable part of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) due to its abilities to enhance traffic management and safety. Many researchers have been focused on specific areas involving management and storage data, protocols standardization, network fragmentation, monitoring, and quality of service. The benchmarks of security of VANET are studied and figured out in this paper. VANET provides the driver and passenger with the safety application as well as entertainment service. However, the communication between nodes in VANET is susceptible to security threats in both communication modes, which indicates the main hazard. In this paper, we identified different Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attacks with various behaviors such as message tampering, message delaying, and message dropping, according to the literature. In this study, the essential background of VANET from architectural point of view and communication types are discussed. Then, the overview of MITM attack in VANET is presented.

Why is it important?

In addition, this paper thoroughly reviews the existing prevention schemes for MITM attack in VANET. This review paper reveals that there is still a need for a better and more efficient preventive scheme to address the MITM attack in VANET. This review paper could serve as evidence and reference in the development of any new security schemes for VANETs.

Perspectives

VANET is one of the most important technologies in ITS due to its role in providing connectivity between all the components. This allows ITS to offer of a wide range of services including entertainment facilities, internet connectivity, and increase traffic safety and efficiency for drivers and road users. However, the VANET still confronts many challenges due to its often-changing network topology due to high mobility of vehicles on the road, and numerous security attacks such as MITM attacks. This paper presents the survey of existing schemes to prevent MITM attacks in VANET. This review paper shows that there is still a need to address the growing problems of security in VANET communication for a robustness preventive scheme to prevent MITM attack on VANET.
