Timing Attack in Vehicular Network

This document discusses timing attacks in vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). It begins by introducing VANET applications and their time requirements, noting that safety messages must reach users in a timely manner. It then describes different types of delays in VANETs, such as congestion and routing delays, that could enable timing attacks. The document proceeds to explain basic and extended timing attacks at different levels, and how timing attacks could impact authentication and access to roadside units. It concludes by stating that timing attacks pose a new security challenge for VANETs that researchers need solutions for.

Introduction

 Vehicular ad-hoc network is a special kind of network in which


nodes (Vehicles) can communicate with each other on the road
and with its Infrastructure.

 In safety message, time and contents of the
message are both important. Right information
must be received the users in right time, this is
basic requirement of the safety applications.
 Warning applications provide information about
warning messages and these messages are
time critical and its importance is also high for
safety of human life.
 If an attacker creates delay in it then it could
result in very serious tragedy on the road and
many accidents may occur due to this.
 Congestion Delay
 High mobility of vehicle, dynamic topology and high rate of vehicles on road
are the reasons for increasing number of issues of congestion in VANET.
 Large numbers of vehicles on road and each vehicle sending, receiving safety
and non safety messages, may consequently result in the network becoming
overloaded and congested.
 Routing Delay
 There are many routing protocols that are used for sending messages from
source to destination by using of different hops.
 A-STAR, MDDV, VADD and DGRP are some of routing protocol has the
drawback of generating maximum delay while sending packet from source to
destination. Edge Node Based Greedy Routing Algorithm (EBGR) protocol has
been proposed to mitigate this issue by reducing packet transmission delay
in VANET.
Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) Timing Attack
Basic Level Attack

(a) Before Peer to Peer (P2P) timing Attack (b) After Peer to Peer (P2P) timing Attack
 Extended Level Attack
 In extended level attack more than one user would be
affected due to timing attack.
 attacker launches timing attack using a multicast technique in
which attacker targets a specific group of vehicles.
 Case One: Timing Attack for Authentication

(a) Timing Attack for authentication (b) Timing Attack for authentication
 Timing attack for taking services from different RSUs
 Data Redundancy
 In timing attacks, the users receive multiple copies of same message
in different time slots, which pose data redundancy issues.

 Security is one of the key challenges in vehicular
network.
 In this paper we have discussed some issues
related to timing attack on vehicular network. This
is newly address problem and need attention to
researcher to provide solution.
 In future work we will some possible solution may
be based on digital signature and trusted platform
module (TPM) to maintain the integrity of the
messages in vehicular network and overcome
timing attacks.
