Vehicular Ad-hoc Network Report

This report examines Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs), a mobile network technology where vehicles act as nodes. It highlights VANET's capabilities, including dynamic topology and mobility modeling, and its increasing use in various fields. The report emphasizes VANET's crucial role in cybersecurity, enhancing road safety through vehicle-to-vehicle communication and protecting networks by enforcing secure communication channels. Furthermore, it discusses VANET's contributions to identifying vulnerabilities and proposing solutions for improved network defense, recovery, and resilience. The report cites relevant research papers by Al-Sultan et al. (2014) and Loo et al. (2016), and Pathan (2016) to support its claims.

The Vehicular Ad-hoc Network 1
The cybersecurity technology that has been used in this paper is "The Vehicular Ad-Hoc
Network (Al-Sultan, 2014)." It is a technology that widely used for the purpose of moving cars
as nodes in a network to create a mobile network. This technology mainly turns every
participating car into a wireless node or router which further allow them to create their network
with a wide range. The technology comes with a wide set of capabilities. Some of them are the
high dynamic topology, frequent disconnected network, mobility modeling and prediction, and
various others. From past some 5 years, this the VANET technology is frequently emerging day
by day. It has been clarified the facts given by the Loo (2016). The researcher said that the
VANET is used now in a large number of fields such as communication or information
technology. Due to the growing use of this technology, it has gained enough attraction of big
business houses.
It is mainly popular in the areas which are related to warning lights, maintenance and highway
construction, weather-related hazards, and stop and go traffic information. VANET plays an
important role in cybersecurity. In cybersecurity, this technology mainly used to enhance the
safety on the roads by enabling vehicles to communicate with each other. In the protection area
of cybersecurity VANET mainly protects the different networks by enforcing proper
communication channel (Pathan, 2016). On the other hand, in other areas like defense, recovery,
and resilience, and remediation the VANET mainly identify the different vulnerabilities and
propose a relevant solution for further improvement.
