Rule and Encryption based Secure Routing for Internet of Vehicle Networks

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has become one challenging communication technology in the current internet world. IoV enables real-time data exchange between vehicles, road infrastructures, and mobile communication devices and hence it helps in information exchange to vehicle drivers and the passengers. In IoV, Cybersecurity threats including Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks are present and it compromises the security in communication among the vehicles and the passengers. Therefore, it is needed to develop a robust security mechanism that can protect the data communicated through routing in IoV. The inclusion of Encryption and Signature verification techniques in the routing algorithm will enhance the security. This paper proposes a Rule with Encryption-Oriented Secure Routing Protocol (REO-SRP) is proposed using clustering and RSA encryption with DSA Digital signature verification with rules for routing. Here, routing is performed after encryption of data and analysis of other vehicles using rules for reliable and secured data delivery.
