Security and Privacy Issues in Vehicular Named Data Networks: An Overview

الملخص EN

A tremendous amount of content and information are exchanging in a vehicular environment between vehicles, roadside units, and the Internet.

This information aims to improve the driving experience and human safety.

Due to the VANET’s properties and application characteristics, the security becomes an essential aspect and a more challenging task.

On the contrary, named data networking has been proposed as a future Internet architecture that may improve the network performance, enhance content access and dissemination, and decrease the communication delay.

NDN uses a clean design based on content names and Interest-Data exchange model.

In this paper, we focus on the vehicular named data networking environment, targeting the security attacks and privacy issues.

We present a state of the art of existing VANET attacks and how NDN can deal with them.

We classified these attacks based on the NDN perspective.

Furthermore, we define various challenges and issues faced by NDN-based VANET and highlight future research directions that should be addressed by the research community.
