Abstract :

The steady growth of automotive market and the rising demand for the safety of the passengers who in Vehicle, also driven by regulatory (governmental) domain, the potential of Vehicle–to–Vehicle connectivity is enormous. Emerging Vehicular Ad–Hoc Networks (VANET) has the potential to improve the safety and efficiency of future highways and state roads. While during with communication process security plays a vital role for VANET application. A vehicle in VANET is considered to be an intelligent mobile node which is able of communicating with its neighbors and other vehicles in the network. This paper analyzes the various security threats and the existing solutions to overcome these threat factors and show that there are active research efforts towards making VANETs a realism in the near future networking.
