“…Furthermore, if vehicles are responsible for monitoring and analysing vehicle behaviour, this leads to increased resource consumption. Consequently, this creates additional overheads for the vehicles because the monitoring of other vehicles in the VANET already consumes additional resources [ 48 , 49 ]. Vehicles with additional tasks such as analysing behaviour to distinguish malicious vehicles add additional computational and storage overheads [ 50 , 51 ].…”

Securing communications in vehicle ad hoc networks is crucial for operations. Messages exchanged in vehicle ad hoc network communications hold critical information such as road safety information, or road accident information and it is essential these packets reach their intended destination without any modification. A significant concern for vehicle ad hoc network communications is that malicious vehicles can intercept or modify messages before reaching their intended destination. This can hamper vehicle ad hoc network operations and create safety concerns. The multi-tier trust management system proposed in this paper addresses the concern of malicious vehicles in the vehicle ad hoc network using three security tiers. The first tier of the proposed system assigns vehicles in the vehicle ad hoc network a trust value based on behaviour such as processing delay, packet loss and prior vehicle behavioural history. This will be done by selecting vehicles as watchdogs to observe the behaviour of neighbouring vehicles and evaluate the trust value. The second tier is to protect the watchdogs, which is done by watchdogs’ behaviour history. The third security tier is to protect the integrity of data used for trust value calculation. Results show that the proposed system is successful in identifying malicious vehicles in the VANET. It also improves the packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay of the vehicle ad hoc network in the presence of malicious vehicles.

Securing wireless mesh networks (WMNs) is a crucial issue due to its intrinsic characteristics. Several endangered features might emerge due to the exposure of the networks to a diversity of medium access control (MAC) layers such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, false reply attacks, and other identity attacks. Against these attacks, the determination of existing techniques is insufficient to ensure the complete security solutions to protect the backbone network at multiple levels. As a result, effective, scalable, and integrated security solutions for WMNs are required. In WMNs, protecting legitimate gateway nodes and internal mesh routers against malicious attacks at the MAC layer remains a difficult problem. Our proposed trust-based security mechanism includes distributed authentication and deauthentication algorithms that validates backbone mesh routers as well as gateway nodes. Particularly, this proposed model targets DDoS attacks in the network. The proposed DDoS attack prevention mechanism (DAPM) uses distributed authentication and deauthentication algorithms to build trusted group heads for managing secure data communication in the network. Our research and practical results show that the proposed mechanism decreases the severity of malicious nodes and strengthens the security compared to existing centralized schemes such as digital signature authentication (DSA-Mesh, MENSA, Mobisec, and AHKM). The experimental solutions show the significance of the proposed work with 10% to 12% of better performance than the existing techniques.

The open communication medium of the Internet of Things (IoT) is more vulnerable to security attacks. As the IoT environment consists of distributed power limited units, the routing protocol used for distributed routing should be light-weighted compared to other centralized networks. In this situation, complex security algorithms and routing mechanisms affect the generic data communications in IoT platforms. To handle this problem, this proposed system develops a cooperative and feedback-based trustable energy-efficient routing protocol (CFTEERP). This protocol calculates local trust value (LTV) and global trust value (GTV) of each node using node attributes and K-means-based feedback evaluation procedures. The K-means clustering algorithm leaves out the distorted node routing metrics and misbehaving node metrics for all channels. This proposed CFTEERP uses the nearest secure node costs to increase the network lifetime without selecting the nearest nodes for routing the data. In this work, secure routing is initiated using multipath routing strategy that analyses LTV, GTV, next trustable node, average throughput, energy consumption, average packet delivery ratio (PDR) and traffic various metrics of entire IoT communication. The technical aspects of proposed system are implemented to solve different existing techniques' limitations.In the comparative experiment, the proposed method provides 90% of PDR and a minimal energy consumption rate of 25% lesser than the existing systems against different malicious attacks.
