“…The following security aspects are considered and summarized as shown in Figure 2. The following important security aspects 64‐66 are considered and much needed to protect an EV dynamic charging system: Confidentiality: Collecting vital information from users who are transferring data between vehicles, or between vehicles and infrastructures. While certain data in the EV dynamic charging system must be made public, the data protection of EVs or dynamic charging stations is the most essential paradigm.…”

Electric vehicle (EV) has emerged as the future of transport worldwide, with the rising need for greener and energy‐efficient transportation solutions. The adoption of EVs can accommodate a clean atmosphere, dropping conventional fuel dependence. During the charging process, the EV will have to interact with various entities that are presented in the dynamic charging station to get charged. This emerging technology grabbed the attention of several researchers to propose authentication protocols for the dynamic EV charging system to protect the information exchanged between the EVs and the dynamic charging station. Considering the complexities associated with communications among EV and other involved entities, security researchers have proposed diverse authentication protocols vital for the EV charging system to protect the information exchanged. However, several existing authentication protocols either suffer from prominent security threats or limit themselves to static charging. This review paper discusses security aspects, security threats, the typical network model, and the threat model in the EV dynamic charging system. Next, we studied and analyzed various security protocols that are needed to provide authentication, privacy preservation, secure billing, and payment among the involved entities in the EV dynamic charging system. A comparative analysis of several state‐of‐the‐art security protocols that offer authentication, privacy preservation, and secure billing and payment facilities in EV dynamic charging systems is demonstrated with their efficacy as well as security and functionality aspects. In addition, some future challenges for EV dynamic charging system security protocols are also highlighted.

“…There could be different types of attackers like active, passive, malicious, rational, local or outsider. Ultimately, each attacker who get a chance to involve in the network affects the legibility of the network [10], [13], [14]. In the following some of the potential attacks and threats are discussed that are possible in the IoV environment.…”

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is treated as an extension of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication network. IoV helps in enhancing driving aids with the help of vehicle Artificial Intelligence (AI) awareness of other vehicles and their actions. IoV is connected in an adhoc networking environment which utilizes each vehicle in the network as a node, called Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET), where the vehicles may be also connected to the public Internet. It is specifically important for the autonomous vehicles because they can instantaneously communicate with other vehicles surrounding them. In addition, safely avoiding accident prone zones is crucial in order to continue secure and smart transportation. Since the communication among various entities involved in the IoV environment is via open channel, it gives an opportunity to a passive/active adversary to intercept, modify, delete or even insert fake information during communication. It is then a serious concern for the vehicles users to determine whether the received information is genuine. In this survey paper, various security aspects, threats and attacks, network and threat models related to the IoV environment are discussed. Next, a taxonomy of security protocols is given that is essential to provide IoV data security. In particular, focus on various authentication protocols is given that is needed for mutual authentication among the involved entities in the IoV environment for secure communication. A detailed comparative analysis among various state-of-art authentication protocols proposed in the related IoV environment is provided to show their effectiveness as well as security and functionality features. Moreover, some testbeds are described that were designed and implemented for the IoV environment. In addition, some future challenges for IoV security protocols are also highlighted that are necessary to address in the future.

“…Hence, security issues such as key distribution or trust management will be affected and must find new solutions to deal with that. Computing capacity: Unlike MANETs, VANETs do not suffer from limited computing capacity or storage. Network size: Network size in VANET has no geographical boundaries. It can consist of town, cities, provinces, or even countries (Shahid, Jaekel, Ezeife, Al‐Ajmi, & Saini, ). Hence, in dense urban areas millions of vehicles would constitute the network which may lead to network congestion or information overloading. Wireless link use: like MANETs, VANETs use wireless links to communicate which may lead to some severe security breaches.…”

“…When addressing security issues of VANETs, it is interesting to specify the network attackers' profiles. Attackers in VANETs were widely investigated and classified by researchers (La & Cavalli, ; Mokthar & Azab, ; Shahid et al, ). Attack method (passive vs. active), attack membership (internal vs. external), attack motivation (rational vs. malicious), attack scope (local vs. extended), and attack target (wireless interface, sensors, hardware, infrastructure) are among the most used classes for VANETs attackers.…”

“… Injection of erroneous messages: sending massages containing false information to cause an accident or to redirect the traffic in a way to release the used route (Shahid et al, ). Message suppression or alteration: the attacker will not respond to any beacons by either physically disabling the V2V communication or altering the application. Message tampering: messages exchanged in V2V and V2I communications are modified. Illusion attack: the attacker purposefully deceives the sensors on his car to produce wrong sensor readings and thus incorrect traffic information. In consequence, the corresponding system reaction is invoked, and then incorrect traffic warning messages are broadcasted to neighbors (La & Cavalli, ). Timing attack: the attacker adds delay between packets which causes a reception behind the time and finally, traffic congestion or even accidents. …”

Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks (VANETs) are a key part of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) as they constitute an intelligent transport network where vehicles and some infrastructure collaborate to exchange messages about traffic, accidents, etc. In such context, security becomes a key component to ensure that exchanged messages were not modified or inserted for example. Consequently, a wide variety of research contributions have been recently presented to cope with this issue. This paper presents a review of most recent papers dealing with security issues in VANETs. Hence, it presents an overview of VANETs and mainly their characteristics as well as their main applications. Then, the main security challenges faced by VANETs are introduced. This is done by first listing their main security requirements, second by establishing attackers' profiles, and their attacks and third by introducing some security solutions. Finally, the opportunities and challenges related to VANETs security are presented such as Trust, Internet of Vehicle, etc.
