Analyzing the spread of active worms over VANET

This paper investigates the parameters governing the spread of active worms over VANET. To this end, we first define the average degree of a VANET node using freeway traffic parameters. The spread of a worm in congested and low-density traffic scenarios is modeled using a stochastic model of infectious disease. Analysis is provided for preemptive and interactive patching scenarios.
