Trust-Aware Opportunistic Dissemination Scheme for VANET Safety Applications

Enhancing road safety is the main goal of Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs). However, the assumption that all peers are honest, cooperative can lead to catastrophic situations. To deal with such misbehaving peers, trust establishment can be used to enhance the security without affecting network performance. In this paper, we propose an opportunistic alert dissemination mechanism based on the trust relationship among vehicles. Our proposal takes advantage of the standardized alert messages (i.e DENM) to carry the needed information to establish trust, select the most trustable vehicles as the next broadcasters. Our solution can ensure real event alerts dissemination in a wide area without exhausting network resources. Simulation results evidence, in comparison with previous proposals, the high efficiency of our proposal at enhancing the detection ratios of dishonest vehicles, while having a low impact on packet loss, minimizing wrong decisions.
