Abstract:

Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET) are the subset of mobile network and the major mode of communication of the vehicles are inter-vehicular communication and infrastructure based communication. This technology aims to provide high security at the time of data transmission among the devices. Due to the high speed of the devices certain malfunctions can occur in terms of multiple attacks which increase the data loss and delay among the devices in the network. To attend high quality in communication it is very essential to provide authentication for each data packet which is transmitted among the devices in the network. For that purpose in this article Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) based lightweight authentication protocol (ECC-LMV) is developed which is able to provide high accuracy in data transmission.
