Security in Internet of Vehicles (IoV) IDS
Vehicle system and services
Autonomous vehicles have different components enabling them to obtain information regarding
the vehicle’s status, driving assistance, weather condition, road condition, and other details
according to the vehicle’s level of autonomy. Therefore, vehicles offer a variety of services with
the help of V2X data ranging from sensory elements to outside infrastructures and road entities.
The following demonstrates a solid view of various segments in the vehicle. Besides, we

Security threats in IoV
So far, we have discussed the benefits of connected cars and the services they provide.
However, connectivity through the network always carries its risks. IoV network contains plenty
of sensors and processors to send and manage data. Moreover, having multiple open
communication surfaces like V2V or V2I makes IoV an easy target for intruders. IoV security is a
serious issue as it may have a detrimental effect if erroneous information interferes with the
vehicles’ decision-making. Besides,
IDS as solution
IoV brings in many opportunities for collaboration between different road entities and
utilization of sensory data to improve the driving experience and safety. This connected
environment opens up security vulnerabilities in the network that may reduce the efficiency of
the services and communication channels. Network IDS are an example of threat monitoring
techniques that identify malicious behaviors in the network traffic to help preventive
mechanisms for security risk mitigation.
