Comprehensive Survey of Denial of Service Attacks in Vanets

Abstract

Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) is the form of network which contains vehicles with high mobility as nodes. Since the nodes are moving, the vehicles entering and leaving the network is at very high pace making the VANETs self-organizing. Due to this, the dissemination of information to correct nodes and making the network secure from active as well as passive attackers is one of the vulnerable task in VANETs. There are number of attacks by which the network can be attacked but in this paper we have discussed Denial of Service (DoS) attack which attacks on the availability of the network. All the possible reasons of DoS attacks are reviewed and also all the possible solutions are defined in this paper.
