Security Threats & Attacks in IoV Environment: Open Research Issues and Challenges

With advancement in technology, our lives have become safer, smarter and easier. There has been a large increase in number of vehicles connected to Internet. The rapid progress in technology has brought the concept of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) to real life. Networks involving Vehicle-to-Vehicle communication can be extended to IoV. With the help of AI knowledge of other cars and their activities, IoV helps to improve driving aids. IoV is the upgraded version of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET), which was designed to provide safe driving. Due to lack of security, IoV environments might face threats from various attacks. There are a huge number of malicious attackers because of the self-organization and openness of IoV. Thus, the users of vehicles may face grave concern as whether the information received is genuine or not. In our paper, several attacks, threats and security aspects related to IoV paradigm has been discussed along with open issues and challenges faced by IoV environment.
