Abstract

Internet of Vehicles (IoVs) have become a focused research area in recent years due to the rapid digitalization of vehicles and transportation systems. While being able to enhance traffic efficiency and transport safety, IoVs also bring up novel cybersecurity issues. Although cryptography-based methods can solve the problem of identity trust, they can not ensure trustworthy behaviors within the network. In order to undermine the performance of IoVs, authenticated attackers can conduct a series of attacks such as tampering with received messages and black hole attacks. Given the problems above, trust management mechanisms are employed in IoVs to evaluate the trustworthiness of network participants. This chapter first gives a brief introduction to IoVs and the security challenges. Then this chapter analyses the security requirements and common attacks under IoVs. Moreover, existing trust models are reviewed and compared. Finally, this chapter discusses simulation tools for trust management in IoVs and identifies future research opportunities.
