Hello everyone,
I would like to know is there anybody who is working on security issues in CCN. However, one of significant feature of CCN is using content instead of using identity of user (IP address) which can be benefit for security issues to send packet anonymously to protect users’ privacy. Nevertheless, one of security issue is content validity which can be achieved with signature of the publisher that can arise privacy protection problem. Moreover, there is question that How the user should trust a piece of content if the signature does not attach any real meaning to that key who it belongs to.
Anyhow is there any other special security problem related to the Content Centric feature in VANET that can be worked on it?
Any suggestion will be appreciate
Thanks in advance
Best regards
If you look for authenticity, let me point you to self-certfifying names concept. It is detailed here: Mazieres, David, et al. "Separating key management from file system security." ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review. Vol. 33. No. 5. ACM, 1999.
Yes, security of vehicular networks is definitely a hot topic. This seems to be a decent compilation of some of the security work being done, specifically for vehicular nets, although it dates back to January 2013. Maybe it will give you some ideas.

But of course, a lot of other security work is also applicable to VANETs. Security is a big topic these days. I like Stefano Turchi's suggestion of a specific technique that might be directly applicable.
I advise you to read the papers of Maxim Raya, he is a figure in this topic. Also I did my PhD on securing data dissemination in VANET you might be interested to look at it as I investigated a lot of security issues in the topic https://www.dora.dmu.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/2086/7987/Hamza%20Aldabbas-Thesis.pdf?sequence=1
Dear Zainab
Yes off course the attacks which are prevalent in the NDN are also possible in the VANETS.
The interest flooding attacks can lead to DDOS. The attack have been stopped but the good solution is yet to be proposed n for the VANETs.
Cache poisoning the road side units may lead to misguided information and surely severe security challenges.
