Trust levels in peer-to-peer (P2P) vehicular network

Abstract

Security is one of the most important issues in new life saving vehicular network, whereas trust is key component of security in vehicular applications. These applications serve users when components (user, vehicle and RSU) of the network behave in an expected manner in peer to peer vehicular communication. Whenever any component of the network unexpectedly changes their behavior then it would be harmful for other users of the network. In this paper, we are proposed three different trust levels in peer to peer vehicular network. Purpose of proposed trust levels to discuss in detail is the functionality of different component of network which circumvents the attacker and emphasizes the role of trusted users in peer to peer vehicular communication.
