Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), the heart of the new revolution of smart transport, has evolved from the well-known Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) to become the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). In fact, the increase in the number of vehicles and the newly born technologies have stimulated the new Internet of Vehicles (IoV) or the Internet of Cars. In general, ITS aims at ensuring better traffic efficiency and reducing road accidents. However, due to different limitations and issues, these systems suffer from different security and privacy vulnerabilities. In fact, they are both vulnerable to various types of security and privacy attacks that may result in life-endangering situations. As a result, several solutions were presented to achieve the required levels of security and confidentiality. In this paper, an overview of ITS is presented stating the reasons behind the evolution from Vanet to IoV. Then, the main threats/attacks that threaten ITS are classified according to their (1) security impact and according to the (2) network layer(s) they affect. Solutions for each attack are also well presented. In addition, a security and performance evaluation and summary tables are presented to provide an overview of these surveyed solutions.

As WSNs combine with a diversity of next-generation technologies, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have gained considerable attention as a promising ubiquitous technology. Even though several studies on WSNs are being undertaken, few systematically analyze the security issues relating to them. Moreover, recent systems tend to be implemented without sufficient consideration about owns security requirements, which can lead to lethal threats. Systems that do not consider security requirements may provide attackers the opportunity to reduce the overall efficiency and performance of the system. This means that inadequately applied security requirements can result in defective security of systems. Therefore, in this study, we emphasized the importance of security requirements to raise awareness regarding them. In addition, we analyzed literature that could be improved by including WSNs security requirements such as characteristics, constraints, and threats. Furthermore, we adopted a systematic methodology by referring to reliable literature and performed a different analysis from previous studies. We derived and mapped the different security factors based on the literature and illustrated the relationships of each security factor. Finally, our research compared with studies of a similar type to evaluate whether it provided a significant contribution. In other words, in this study, we analyzed various factors related to WSNs security based on reviewing the literature and show our contribution, such as a systematic analysis framework and factor mapping compared with traditional studies. Though there are some considerations, we expect that this research derived the essential security requirements in any WSNs environments.

“…A wormhole link usually consists of two or more designated attack nodes [5,6]. Because the wormhole attack has no effect on communication integrity, it is difficult to be detected [7]. There are three types of wormhole attack, including packets tampering, replaying data packets with high power, and out-of-band hidden channel [8,9].…”

Distance Vector-Hop (DV-Hop) algorithm is widely used in node localization. It often suffers the wormhole attack. The current researches focus on Double-Wormhole-Node-Link (DWNL) and have limited attention to Multi-Wormhole-Node-Link (MWNL). In this paper, we propose a security DV-Hop algorithm (AMLDV-Hop) to resist MWNL. Firstly, the algorithm establishes the Neighbor List (NL) in initialization phase. It uses the NL to find the suspect beacon nodes and then find the actually attacked beacon nodes by calculating the distances to other beacon nodes. The attacked beacon nodes generate and broadcast the conflict sets to distinguish the different wormhole areas. The unknown nodes take the marked beacon nodes as references and mark themselves with different numbers in the first-round marking. If the unknown nodes fail to mark themselves, they will take the marked unknown nodes as references to mark themselves in the second-round marking. The unknown nodes that still fail to be marked are semi-isolated. The results indicate that the localization error of proposed AMLDV-Hop algorithm has 112.3%, 10.2%, 41.7%, 6.9% reduction compared to the attacked DV-Hop algorithm, the Label-based DV-Hop (LBDV-Hop), the Secure Neighbor Discovery Based DV-Hop (NDDV-Hop), and the Against Wormhole DV-Hop (AWDV-Hop) algorithm.
