Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues:

The Special Issue, named ‘Evolving Applications for Smart vehicles’, focuses on work that examines the mutually influential relationship between humans and humans, humans and smart devices and a smart device and smart device in smart vehicles. Smart vehicles str expected to change and expand people's lifestyles. A reduction in vehicle crime, traffic accidents and vehicle theft are examples, but since this is a structure that is connected based on a vehicle network, cyber-attacks are increasing, and more advanced applications are required. In addition, it is necessary to defend against evolving attacks and respond to evolving demand services. After all, the expansion of user needs and emergence of new IoT devices require the evolution of autonomous vehicle application services.

Therefore, this Special Issue intends to publish a research paper on evolutionary application services that recognizes the current situation of autonomous vehicles and predicts the future situation.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

  • Smart vehicle networks and communications;
  • Challenges and opportunities for evolving applications;
  • Evolving cyber-attacks/anomaly detection;
  • Vehicular sensing and positioning services;
  • Technologies for next0generation smart vehicles;
  • V2V, V2I, and V2X communications and networking;
  • Wireless technologies for smart vehicles;
  • Architectures, algorithms, and protocols;
  • Data management techniques and services;
  • Networked information processing, decision-making, and intelligent control;
  • Energy network and services for smart vehicles;
  • Meta-analysis.

I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Named data networking (NDN) is gaining momentum in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) thanks to its robust network architecture. However, vehicular NDN (VNDN) faces numerous challenges, including security, privacy, routing, and caching. Specifically, the attackers can jeopardize vehicles’ cache memory with a Content Poisoning Attack (CPA). The CPA is the most difficult to identify because the attacker disseminates malicious content with a valid name. In addition, NDN employs request–response-based content dissemination, which is inefficient in supporting push-based content forwarding in VANET. Meanwhile, VNDN lacks a secure reputation management system. To this end, our contribution is three-fold. We initially propose a threshold-based content caching mechanism for CPA detection and prevention. This mechanism allows or rejects host vehicles to serve content based on their reputation. Secondly, we incorporate a blockchain system that ensures the privacy of every vehicle at roadside units (RSUs). Finally, we extend the scope of NDN from pull-based content retrieval to push-based content dissemination. The experimental evaluation results reveal that our proposed CPA detection mechanism achieves a 100% accuracy in identifying and preventing attackers. The attacker vehicles achieved a 0% cache hit ratio in our proposed mechanism. On the other hand, our blockchain results identified tempered blocks with 100% accuracy and prevented them from storing in the blockchain network. Thus, our proposed solution can identify and prevent CPA with 100% accuracy and effectively filters out tempered blocks. Our proposed research contribution enables the vehicles to store and serve trusted content in VNDN. Full article
