The aspect of EMP attacks and the threats it poses to the electric grid is an issue in the United Continue reading...

VANET

1. Introduction
Vehicular Ad Hoc Network, abbreviated as VANET, is a system where vehicles like cars have the possibility of digitally communicating with one another, and communicating with a stationary object, for example a building or a traffic light. These communications are of short-range types. Concretely, the three types of communications provided in VANET are: inter-vehicle communication, vehicle-to-roadside communication and inter-roadside communication. In all these communications, there are no usage of a base station or any additional dedicated infrastructure like an access point to facilitate the digital communications. This is a unique property of VANET.
Through VANET, vehicles may Continue reading...
