ABSTRACT
VANET, being a wireless network, inherits all the security threats that a wireless system has to deal with [7]. VANET security is critical because a poorly designed VANET is vulnerable to network attacks, and this can compromise the safety of drivers. A security system should ensure that transmission comes from a trusted source and is not a tampered en-route by other sources. It should also strike a balance with privacy because implementing security and privacy together in a system is contradictory. There are various types of possible attacks on VANETs. It is imperative that VANET security should be capable of handling every type of attack.
