Abstract
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) is a key component in the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) with a number of applications for safety, traffic management, emergency services, entertainment, and so on. These applications are implemented by exchanging data among the nodes in an open, dynamic, and distributed fashion, and hence VANETs are vulnerable to different network attacks. For examples, DoS and black-hole attacks can be easily executed in VANETs, and strongly affect the routing protocol and its functionality. Through the nature of VANETs, trust management is considered one of the practical means to secure these networks. In this paper, we propose an up-to-date dynamic entity-centric trust model for VANETs, called T-AODV. We use social science techniques to apply weight and fuzzy logic theory and identify the malicious nodes. Our NS2 simulation results indicate that T-AODV can be more resists in contact with black-hole attacks by boosting the security of AODV routing protocol. T-AODV slightly increases the routing overhead of AODV and provides better performance than the existing I-AODV scheme.
