A statistical approach for enhancing security in VANETs with efficient rogue node detection using fog computing
share
Rogue nodes broadcasting false information in beacon messages may lead to catastrophic consequences in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). Previous researchers used either cryptography, trust scores, or past vehicle data to detect rogue nodes; however, these methods suffer from high processing delay, overhead, and False-Positive Rate (FPR). We propose herein Greenshield's traffic model-based fog computing scheme called Fog-based Rogue Nodes Detection (F-RouND), which dynamically utilizes the On-Board Units (OBUs) of all vehicles in the region for rogue node detection. We aim to reduce the data processing delays and FPR in detecting rogue nodes at high vehicle densities. The performance of the F-RouND framework was evaluated via simulations. Results show that the F-RouND framework ensures 45 overhead, and 36 rogue node detection schemes even when the number of rogue nodes increases by up to 40
