Cyber Security And Security Of The Users

Some people like to hack out of revenge. In today’s political climate – that makes sense. We are noticing more and more that the liberties they have been afforded us aren’t always for the benefit of the people. The power to vote has been something minorities were only awarded when it was signed into law in 1965 by President Lyndon Johnson outlawing the discriminatory voting practices adopted in Southern states after the Civil War. The fear of this country’s future political climate is a concern not only for Americans, but also internationally. “Fear of cybersecurity threats has plagued the 2016 presidential election since June when the Democratic National Committee site was hacked, with the U.S. government later determining the culprits were

In doing so, transportation safety will increase. Current cars are already semi-automated with various technologies. The editor’s claim that in coming years the current limited technologies will be just the tip of the iceberg, since radar and laser sensors, and car-to-car computer communications will be available.

The past fifty years have made amazing changes in the technological world, and it will vastly continue to grow. In today's world, we have electronic devices that can be connected to other devices and networks, such as WIFI, Bluetooth, 3 and 4g networks. Which are commonly known as smart devices? Imagine the world where you can get in your car without the worry of driving alongside drunks and teenagers. Well, that day is not very far from now. Someone's fictional dream of riding a driverless car is now becoming a reality because many large companies, including Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, BMW, Audi, and Google are currently investing in the development of this contraption. What is a driverless or an autonomous car?

These cars can also help increase roadway capacity and reduce traffic congestion due to less space needed for safety gaps. Despite this, driverless cars face ominous legal barricades before they become a common sight on U.S. roads. The most important thing while on the road is to be able to communicate with the other drivers. The legal issue that is setting back the auto driving cars is that how they are going to communicate with the other cars on the road. They will have to have a vehicle to vehicle communication and who is responsible when miscommunication takes place? In the United States, driverless cars are not prohibited according to any law. However, California, Florida, Nevada, DC, and Michigan have successfully enacted laws to address self-driving vehicles (Howell D,

Transportation has amped up it’s technical game and still continues to, but are we really ready for “driverless” cars? The federal government will soon smooth the rollout of driverless vehicle technologies, removing unnecessary regulatory roadblocks and delays. The pros of driverless technology will require more than smart regulation; companies and the government will have to convince the public that driverless cars will cause no harm. Connected, automated vehicles that can sense the environment around them and communicate with other vehicles and with infrastructure have the potential to revolutionize road safety and save thousands of lives. Driver error causes nearly all fatal crashes. Computers that never doze off or look down to text could

Imagine the millions of people who take to the roads every day, whether they are commuting to work, running simple errands, or meeting up with a friend. It is likely that they all assume that this trip will be a typical ride, but for many, it will be immeasurably different. Instead of the ordinary ride that these drivers are accustomed to, a reckless driver suddenly crashes into their vehicle. All too often, this scenario becomes reality on the road due to factors such as careless drivers or distractions. In response to these situations, numerous organizations are developing self-driving cars and are making strides to introduce them into society as soon as possible. In addition to helping increase road safety, these self-driving vehicles also present possibilities for increased ease and freedom for drivers. Since self-driving cars offer opportunities for the betterment of Americans’ lives, embracing the implementation of this technology into society is crucial.

GPS-tracking, radars, lasers, cybersecurity software, and “vehicle-to-vehicle” (V2V) communication technology (2015).” Many companies are experimenting this technology in their car such as Google, General Motors

The Department of Homeland Security realized its in-ability to protect key assets and critical infrastructure if it perused a government alone approach and has focused on partnerships. A government alone approach, as Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the US Homeland Security, noted is not sustainable "It is beyond Washington's means to assume the burden of micromanaging every critical business activity in the United States or supplying sufficient personnel to guarantee a reduction in the vulnerabilities of these activities." (Chertoff, 2008-09). To effectively protect key assets and critical infrastructure DHS focus on equal public-private partnerships.

Abstract: This paper reflects the advancements in technology beginning with the first computer leading into the innovation of computers since the early 1800’s such as the computer systems in vehicles, and explains the importance of cyber security to prevent cyber-attacks. The rapid development of wireless computer systems within a vehicle such as GPS and Bluetooth opens up a door to the realm of vulnerability to cyber-attacks. Hackers have successfully found breaches in the security of laptops and other computers it’s only a matter of time before they master the computers in automobiles. Scientists should be working with these automobile companies to fix the loop holes in their security before malicious hackers find them.

Cyber Security also called computer security and IT security, is the assurance of data from theft or any harm to the gadget, the product and information stored on hardware. It incorporates controlling physical access to the equipment and additionally ensuring against code or data injection or via network access.

HC is the combination of VC and VuC where VC serves as both service provider and consumer at the same time. The motivation behind HC is that, vehicles moving on the road might rent their resources and might want to use cloud services at the same time. NaaS and P2P are the most suitable examples for such scenarios. Nevertheless due to the ephemeral nature of VANET, connection among vehicular nodes is very intermittent. But yet it can be argued that usually for P2P applications, the size of the files is fairly small making it suitable for short time connection. Other potential applications for this architecture include IaaS in case of VC.[3]

Worldwide 1.2 million deaths are caused annually because of car accidents and one fourth of that is caused by injury and death later and that can change. People are already decreasing that statistic with other car advancements like automatic stopping so why do we need vehicle to vehicle communication “V2V communications”. Cars can sense other cars and obstacles nearby, but this is not as great as it seems. Cars can malfunction and get hacked by hackers easily with this kind of technology in them. I feel this technology is not worthwhile because it is an invasion of privacy, has hacking concerns, and other technology is available, though there are others that disagree with me they believe that the safety is strong, but its not.

Abstract— A VANET network is a subset of ad hoc networks where each mobile node is an intelligent vehicle equipped with communication resources (sensor). The optimal goal is that these networks will contribute to safer roads and more effective in the future by providing timely information to drivers. They are therefore vulnerable to many types of attacks. Many proposals have been proposed to secure communication in VANETs. In this paper; we propose an approach to adopt a new method of distributing certificates in VANET. In Our proposal the cluster-head acts as a virtual CA and issues certificates to cluster members. The main objective of our approach is to avoid making a new certificate request in case a node passes from a cluster to another. This approach has been evaluated by simulation study using the simulator network NS-2.

Vehicular Communication System plays a major role in the development of Intelligent Transportation System(ITS) which enable the users to make safer, and 'effective ' use of transport networks and aim to provide innovative services relating to different modes of transport and traffic management.In

User Privacy can be provided by the Pseudonyms which mean a group of private keys which will always update the identifiers frequently. This will provide the security and reduce the malicious attacks. In this each node in the VANETS has the pair of Pseudonyms where it has one GID,PID and a static Global Id by using this security can be provided as they keep on changing from network to network.
