A Delay Sensitive Multi-Path Selection to Prevent the Rushing Attack in VANET

Communication networks have moved into the next level with MANET (Mobile ad hoc networks) and VANET (Vehicular ad hoc network). The creation of VANET is an extremely important turning point in the automotive industry, as it enables several vehicles to communicate and exchange data wirelessly. In such networks, communication can take two forms: V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure). Security is extremely important for protecting human life and public and private property. Dynamic, wireless network, multi-hop, topology, and infrastructure-less network are all complex elements to the VANET (Community) framework. One of the safety and security issues presented by vehicles with such advanced technology is that they increase the likelihood of it being targeted by unauthorized nodes/users (attackers). In addition to black hole, grey hole, wormhole, DOS, DDOS, and rush attacks, there are various other things that an attacker can use, such as rush attacks, black hole, grey hole, and wormhole. The most difficult of all the attacks discussed is the rushing attack. We implemented delay sensitive multi-path selection to prevent the rushing attack in VANET. Here, we have assessed each path delay by considering propagation, transmission, processing and queuing delays of each vehicle and its geographical locations.
