ABSTRACT
A secure and trusted environment is indispensable for the realization of futuristic smart cities, wherein connected and autonomous vehicles are expected to be the primary mode of personal and commercial transportation, and whose success is primarily dependent on factors such as the resiliency of the IoV networks and the dissemination of authentic, accurate, and reliable information within the same. Trust, in this regard, can play its strategic role by strengthening the resiliency of an IoV network, in particular, against the insider attacks. Chapter 2, therefore, delineates on convergence of trust with the IoV networks primarily in terms of its underlying rationale, highlights the opportunities that transpire as a result of this convergence, and finally, discusses the open research challenges along with some key recommendations.
