Abstract
Modern vehicles are equipped with sensors, communication, and
computation units that make them capable of providing monitoring services and
analysis of real-time traffic information to improve road safety. The main aim of
communication in vehicular networks is to achieve an autonomous driving
environment that is accident-free alongside increasing road use quality. However,
the demanding specifications such as high data rate, low latency, and high
reliability in vehicular networks make 5G an emerging solution for addressing
the current vehicular network challenges. In the 5G IoV environment, various
technologies and models are deployed, making the environment open to attacks
such as Sybil, Denial of Service (DoS) and jamming. This paper presents the
security and privacy challenges in an IoV 5G environment. Different categories
of vehicular network attacks and possible solutions are presented from the
technical point of view.
