Many researchers have shed light on different techniques to ensure the security of this intelligent universe. In this study, we identify the risks to which Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are exposed according to several criteria and metrics. For this purpose, we do bench-marking by carrying out research on the types of attacks that harm VANETs, after that we study the solutions proposed to ensure a high level of security in this type of network and finally we discuss these solutions to find out one that is most adapted to our teamwork and which is based on a relevant and recent technology. {\textcopyright} 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.},

	abstract = {Over the past several decades, the importance of security has been increasing, in particular in the area of research addressing the Internet of Things (IoT) and, implicitly, ad hoc networks since they are part of it. Researchers have adopted blockchain as an interesting and trendy research topic in the wireless ad hoc environment. Due to its strong characteristics, such as consensus, immutability, finality and provenance, it{\textquoteright}s used not only as a secure data storage for critical data, but also as a platform that facilitates trustless data exchange between independent parties. However, the main challenge of applying blockchain in an ad hoc network is what kind of nodes should be involved in the validation process and how to adopt the heavy computational complexity of block validation in an appropriate way while maintaining its authentic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new blockchain-based model against selfish attacks in ad hoc networks and optimize it in this context, to this end, we investigate the presence of MPR nodes to adapt and integrate the blockchain principle in MANETs and based on this we conduct a security analysis to evaluate our model by discussing the ability of our model to meet major security issues related to confidentiality, integrity, availability, non-repudiation, and vulnerability to attacks. {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

Since those protocols do not consider the node mobility in their mechanism, we propose to enhance the routing protocols benefiting from localization node and predict the time needed for neighbors to go out of range for a node to increase the robustness of the protocols with the mobility. Firstly, we propose an efficient scheme to predict the time needed for the node to quite the neighbor range. Secondly, we conduct a set of simulations to compare the performance of our proposal against OLSR standard. {\textcopyright} 2020 Journal of Communications.},

	abstract = {The impact of mobility is a major factor that can have an influence on the stability of network behaviour in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANET). The selection of paths having stability, security and an extended network lifetime is one of the crucial issues in the design of routing protocols. In this paper, the authors propose an enhanced algorithm relying on a multipurpose function according to three metrics, mobility, energy and reputation levels to improve the routing decision-making process. The main goal is to identify better performing Multipoint relays (MPRs) which are used to relay messages between nodes. They are also necessary for routing and selecting the appropriate route from any source to any destination node. The identification of the most efficient MPRs can upgrade the network performing even in the most challenging conditions of the dynamic environment. The authors implement the advanced algorithm in the OLSR and get the performance result by using a network simulator (NS3) running under the mobility model of the Manhattan network. The achieved results show important performance compared to the default version. In addition, the proposed model can be employed to improve network efficiency for proactive protocols in ad-hoc networks. {\textcopyright} 2020 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The Ad hoc network is a part of the IoT environment, including several types of networks like MANET. It uses different categories of routing protocol, but the OLSR routing protocol is the best one for MANET. The mobility concept has an impact on the evolution of network performances. In the OLSR routing protocol, this mobility influences on the choice of the MultiPoint Relay (MPR). In this paper, the main objective is to develop an algorithm enhancing MPR selection process in such networks. This algorithm based on Average Spatial Dependency metric {\textquotedblleft}ASD{\textquotedblright} linked to the average Relative Speed {\textquotedblleft}RS{\textquotedblright} and the average Relative Acceleration {\textquotedblleft}RA{\textquotedblright}. Each node shares these values with its neighbors using the messages of OLSR routing protocol (Hello and TC messages). Furthermore, if the nodes have equal reachability, the highest ASD value will be selected as a criterion of the choice of their MPR set. In the simulation, we have applicated the Manhattan mobility model in the MANET network, and we have used the NS3 simulator. The results of this simulation have shown that the mobility concept could change network performances in terms of packet loss, end-to-end delay, and Throughput. {\textcopyright} The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, we are converging more and more towards smart environments like smart cars, drones, unmanned airplanes, internet of things and connected homes... These new gadgets are in need to communicate and interact with each other for their proper functioning. Due to their easy implementation, the mobile ad hoc networks constitute the fastest and the most efficient way to establish connection in smart environments. However, in proactive ad hoc routing protocol, like the Optimized Link State Routing, maintaining the topology increases the overhead and consumes a considerable energy power. In smart environments, some terminals are battery powered. Designing efficient communication protocols is crucial to decrease the interferences, to enhance the performance of the network and to reduce the consumption of energy. In this paper, we use the node localization in the context of OLSR to select dispersive Multi-Point Relays responsible of broadcasting the topology into the entire network. We divide the environment into several virtual zones. Then we try to elect forwarders at different partitions to cover the maximum surface area in order to reach the greater number of devices. The simulations show that our proposal reduces at certain extent, the amount of traffic overhead, improves the network capacity and lets more bandwidth for the smart environment{\textquoteright}s applications. {\textcopyright} 2017 Association for Computing Machinery.},
