Abstract

​

Vehicular Ad Hoc Network is a special class of Mobile Ad Hoc Network which is developed purposefully for the communication between Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I). In such type of network, vehicle will be the node which will communicate with other vehicles (nodes) and with base station node on side of roads by transferring sensitive information. Such type of topology presents challenges in terms of high speed mobile nodes, fast changing dynamic network topology, security and privacy of each vehicle. In our project, we have decided to analyze Sybil attack security threat on VANET. Sybil attack is where malicious node can acquire multiple identities thus resulting in wrong information sent between vehicles and between vehicle and road side units. In this project, we will deploy VANET topology in Riverbed Modeler as well in NS-3 and implement Sybil attack scenarios to study the effects on data transmission on both the platforms and hence validate the performance of VANET in academic edition of riverbed modeler (17.5).
