<p>Edge Computing-based Connected Autonomous Vehicles (EC-CAVs) can fulfill the emerging demand for smart transportation on a global scale. Such innovations to transportation ecosystems can bring manyfold benefits from fully autonomous driving services to proactive vehicle monitoring and traffic management. Given the complexity involved in the deployment of EC-CAVs, zero-tolerance safety and security measures must be incorporated to avert vehicle immobilization, road accidents, disclosure of sensitive data, or any potential threats. This paper presents a reference architecture of EC-CAVs to investigate existing and emerging cyber-threats for deriving a common attack taxonomy for the EC-CAVs ecosystem. Subsequently, a comprehensive survey of security mechanisms is presented that can ensure safe and secure transportation of passengers from one destination to another using an EC-CAVs ecosystem.</p>

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been vastly employed in the collection and transmission of data via wireless networks. This type of network is nowadays used in many applications for surveillance activities in various environments due to its low cost and easy communications. In these networks, the sensors use a limited power source which after its depletion, since it is nonrenewable, network lifetime ends. Due to the weaknesses in sensor nodes, they are vulnerable to many threats. One notable attack threating WSN is Denial of Sleep (DoS). DoS attacks denotes the loss of energy in these sensors by keeping the nodes from going into sleep and energy-saving mode. In this paper, the Abnormal Sensor Detection Accuracy (ASDA-RSA) method is utilized to counteract DoS attacks to reducing the amount of energy consumed. The ASDA-RSA schema in this paper consists of two phases to enhancement security in the WSNs. In the first phase, a clustering approach based on energy and distance is used to select the proper cluster head and in the second phase, the RSA cryptography algorithm and interlock protocol are used here along with an authentication method, to prevent DoS attacks. Moreover, ASDA-RSA method is evaluated here via extensive simulations carried out in NS-2. The simulation results indicate that the WSN network performance metrics are improved in terms of average throughput, Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), network lifetime, detection ratio, and average residual energy. KEYWORDSASDA-RSA, denial of sleep attack, network lifetime, RSA cryptography, WSNs | INTRODUCTIONNetworks constructed with multiple sensors enables novel applications covering a wide range of areas. However, it is well-known that networks forming from a range of sensors are prone to factors threatening their security. [1][2][3][4] Security is a main research topic in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The widespread application of WSNs in security sensitive environment, such as military environment, made security considerations a basic requirement. Since nodes are the routing medium in the network, attacking the nodes eradicate the network. As routing is a trust-based operation among the nodes, there exists a good opportunity for attackers to disorder the routing process. These networks are usually formed without pre-planning and are utilized for a short period; hence, security investigations in

Energy-efficiency and performance are at the forefront with regards to wireless sensor networks due to the resource-constrained nature of the sensors on the network. Most of the energy in a sensor is consumed by the radio and this therefore creates the need for a more efficient use of the Media Access Control (MAC) layer which controls access to the radio. The Castalia framework which runs on the OMNET++ simulation platform provides a MAC layer protocol-TunableMAC which is used in this paper for tuning of performance and consumed power. Our goal is to improve as much as possible the performance/energy balance in terms of resources used up by security features, while attempting to preserve the overall lifespan of the wireless sensors. This paper investigates performance parameters for TunableMAC such as energy consumed, latency, throughput and network lifetime based on simulated temperature sensors. A 5-step methodology is proposed that can be helpful for minimizing the impact of denialof-sleep (DOS) attacks. Hence, the benefit of this research is that it feeds into the development of a novel MAC protocol that is energy-aware and can autonomously guard against energy drain attacks such as DOS attacks.
