Vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V) is the process of transmitting data
wirelessly between vehicles. By relaying the information about location and speed data
between vehicles is via an ad hoc network is the primary aim of V2V communication. This
communication takes place over an ADHOC mesh.V2V communication is thought to be the
better alternative for the current vehicular(original equipment manufacturer: OEM)
embedded systems which have features like adaptive cruise control, rear parking sonar
and backup camera because the V2V technology enables an ubiquitous 360-degree
awareness of surrounding threats. With the further advancement of the v2v
communication many security flaws were found. The best way to analyze these flaws
would be through a bi-directionally coupled simulation environment made of
OMNET/SUMO, ns2 /SUMO, etc. Many possible attacks like botnet, GHOST, congestion etc.
are being used to exploit the system every day, which can be simulated and studied in the
simulated environment. In the starting we discuss about the general VANET characteristics,
in the second part we discuss about all the existing flaws with which the system can be
attacked and in the third and last part we discuss about the solutions to those problems
and how the present conditions can be improved through the implementation.
