讲座简介：

Recent technological breakthroughs in vehicular ad hoc networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) have transformed vehicles into smart objects hence paving the way for the evolution of the promising paradigm of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), which is an integral constituent of the modern intelligent transportation systems. Simply put, IoV attributes to IoT-on-wheels, wherein vehicles broadcast safety-critical information amongst one another (and their immediate ambiences) for guaranteeing highly reliable and efficacious traffic flows. This, therefore, necessitates the need to fully secure an IoV network since a malicious attacker, i.e., vehicle, is not only able to send counterfeited safety-critical messages to its nearby vehicles and the traffic management authorities but could further enable a compromised vehicle to broadcast both spoofed coordinates and speed-related information. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance that malicious entities (and their messages) be identified and subsequently eliminated from the network before they are able to manipulate the entire network for their malicious gains. This talk, therefore, delineates the convergence of the notion of trust with the IoV primarily in terms of its underlying rationale. It further highlights the opportunities which transpire as a result of this convergence for securing an IoV network. Issues pertinent to trust quantification and optimal threshold selection (for determining the trustworthiness) would be discussed. Finally, open research challenges, along with the recommendations for addressing the same, would be deliberated too.
