Security and cooperation in vehicular delay tolerant network and its applications

道路安全和效率是全世界关注的主要问题。因此，探索新技术以提高道路安全和效率至关重要。拟议的研究计划旨在调查新兴的车辆通信网络，也被称为车辆自组织网络（VANESTA）的适用性，作为一种有前途的方法，以提高道路安全和效率。在VAN中，车辆配备有无线通信、定位和计算设备，其中各种车辆应用通过车辆之间的通信来实现，例如紧急制动警告。不幸的是，VANG面临着各种安全威胁和隐私问题，这将危及公共安全，并成为接受这种新技术的主要障碍。因此，安全性是VANESTO成功的关键，因此也是市场就绪VANESTO的先决条件。在过去，对这一研究领域的关注不够，特别是车辆延迟容忍网络（DTN）中的安全性，其中车辆之间的端到端网络连接不可用。传统的方法可能不适用于这样的车载DTN，由于其独特的特性，如间歇性连接，由于网络节点（或车辆）的高速移动性，资源稀缺性，以及非常大量的网络节点。拟议的研究设想解决车辆DTNs的安全和隐私问题，这在以前的研究报告中没有考虑到。预计这项研究计划将有助于发现新的想法和开发创新的汽车产品和服务。因此，可以设计新的商业模式和收入来源，以促进增长和促进加拿大陷入困境的汽车工业。这项研究还将导致HQP在信息安全和车辆通信技术方面的培训，这将大大有助于加拿大的通信，汽车和信息安全行业。

Road safety and efficiency are major concerns worldwide. Therefore, it is crucial to explore new techniques to improve road safety and efficiency. The proposed research program aims to investigate the applicability of emerging vehicular communication networks, also known as vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), as a promising approach to increasing road safety and efficiency. In VANETs, vehicles are equipped with wireless communication, positioning and computation devices with a variety of vehicle applications enabled by communication between vehicles such as emergency braking warning. Unfortunately, VANETs have faced various security threats and privacy concerns which would jeopardize public safety and become the main barrier to the acceptance of such a new technology. As a result, security is crucial to success of VANETs, and so is thereby a prerequisite for market-ready VANETs. In the past, insufficient attention has been paid to this area of research, in particular security in vehicular delay tolerant networks (DTNs), where end-to-end network connectivity between vehicles is not available. Traditional approaches may not be suitable in such a vehicular DTN due to its unique characteristics, such as intermittent connectivity due to high-speed mobility of the network node (or vehicle), resource scarcity, and the extremely large amount of network nodes. The proposed research is envisioned to solve the security and privacy issues in vehicular DTNs, which have not been taken into consideration in previously reported studies. It is expected that this research program will contribute to the discovering of new ideas and the development of innovative automotive products and services. As a result, new business models and revenue streams can be devised to foster growth and promote the troubled automobile industry in Canada. The research will also lead to HQP training in information security and vehicular communication techniques, which will greatly contribute to the Canadian communication, automobile and information security industries.
