Security for Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks

Dear Colleagues,

VANET has recently emerged as a hot research topic, though there are various challenges associated with it that still require a solution, such as how to build an efficient and secure network framework in VANETs, how to place authentication servers to serve a massive number of users, and how to design offloading strategies for vehicles to boost system performance. At present, there are many national and international projects in government, industry, and academia devoted to VANET. The goal of this Special Issue is to present and discuss recent security issues of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) technologies. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

• Attacks and threats of VANET;
• Risk and security assessment of VANET;
• Safety and non-safety applications;
• Secure V2V/V2I/V2X communication;
• Security issues and countermeasures;
• Privacy issues;
• Intrusion detection in VANET.
