Protection of Vehicular AdHoc Networks via Efficient Authentication and Message Encryption

Vehicular Networks (VANET) allow vehicles and other infrastructure in the network to communicate with each other about traffic management but also ensure safety on the roads and infotainment as users use roads. The wireless network architecture of a VANET brings about security concerns of security and privacy. This paper proposes a Protection of Vehicular Networks via Authentication Technique to address the issues of security and privacy. The method was implemented in a Linux environment running Ubuntu 20.04 and Python 3.12 was used for the model. The results show efficient vehicle authentication and message encryption with minimal delays as vehicle density increases, the model is compared to other models and displays lower delays. Enabling private and secure vehicular communications by this model facilitates deployment of Vanet applications that enhance road traffic and safety efficiency.
