Misbehavior detection scheme with integrated root cause detection in VANET

Abstract

Securing communication using broadcast authentication schemes (BAS) in V2V does not always guarantee exchange of correct and/or accurate information. Misbehavior Detection Schemes (MDS) are aimed at detecting the exchange of such information. In this paper, we propose a MDS for Post Crash Notification (PCN) application based on root-cause analysis that is capable of detecting different types of misbehaviors possible, for example, a false crash alert raised in the absence of a crash and a crash alert raised with incorrect positional information.
