Abstract: The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is a distributed network that allows vehicles, pedestrians and several road units to exchange traffic and road-related information in real-time to increase users' safety and convenience. However, its inter-connectivity exposes the vehicles and the people to different cyber-attacks. In this paper, we identify the black-hole and worm-hole attacks as the major security threats to the IoV. We then propose periodic-time slicing and trust degree approaches to detect and discourage black-hole attacks, and a cryptography procedure to detect and prevent worm-hole attacks in the IoV.

Keywords: car connectivity; cyber-security; cloud and fog-assisted; internet of things; autonomous vehicles.
