VANET consists of highly mobile nodes and roadside infrastructure to communicate essential information across a network, such as collisions, traffic congestion, and vehicular destinations. Due to its frequent vehicle movement, time-critical response and hybrid architecture, it comes with a plethora of network security and privacy issues ranging from the potential of malicious attacks to the availability of essential information across the network and its overall integrity. There is much research devoted to enabling secure communication in VANETs for the best Intelligent Transport System (ITS) experience. In this paper, we address and discuss the characteristics and security issues including the existing VANETs attacks and preventive approaches to each security attack emphasising the main features and the major drawbacks. The review of these different countermeasures shows their strengths and weaknesses and how they can be implemented independently or in a hybrid model best suited to the situation.

Interconnected devices, such as IoT devices or objects are viewed as constrained because they lack adequate computational resources. These resources consist of energy, memory, and processing power, however, when attempting to encrypt transferred data using traditional encryption methods, these obstacles offered by IoT devices are viewed as a challenge because their limited resources may dramatically limit the potential and performance of CPS. Therefore, we introduced the modified DNA‐based lightweight encryption method, which relies on the DNA sequence, as a way to get around the fact that IoT devices have insufficient computing processing and storage resources. The randomized structure of the DNA sequence was leveraged in the modified lightweight encryption method to obtain an encryption secret key. The secret key is employed to encrypt and decrypt data generated by IoT devices in a manner that is consistent with the computing capabilities of IoT devices during encryption operations involving substitution, transposition, and circular shifting to increase the confusion level of encrypted data. We also studied the effects of changing the size of the data block along with the key space of the modified DNA‐based lightweight encryption method. Performance and experimental results in terms of key lengths, the amount of time it takes to encrypt, the degree of distortion, and the security level of the modified DNA‐based lightweight encryption method surpass those of currently employed encryption algorithms.

Routing Protocol for Low Energy and Lossy networks (RPL) is a dedicated protocol for this type of networks of poor energy resources. In RPL there is only one routing metric that can be used at once in its Objective Function (OF); either reliability or saving energy of parent nodes. In the case of considering the reliability which is represented by Expected Number of Transmission (ETX) that will usually lead to unbalance energy distribution among nodes. On the other hand, when energy is being considered without taking into account the reliability of links, many packets might be lost. In this paper, an experimental study was conducted over two modified version of RPL that address issues of energy distribution among nodes with consideration of reliability network with less EXT. Cooja simulator was used for simulation purposes. The results obtained show that the distribution of energy consumption among nodes were achieved which in turn prolong the network lifetime.

On the other hand, hackers and intruders keep on developing methods to break those algorithms. Hence, new methods are always sought and developed by researchers. A binary search tree (BST) is implemented in this paper to produce a new algorithm for image encryption. The BST is utilized to generate an encryption key that consists of two parts; local and global with flexible length capabilities that provide better security. Sharing all image contents to encrypt any byte of the source image helped to achieve Shannon's concept of diffusion and confusion. The experimental application of this algorithm has manifested a satisfactory security performance as compared with the widely used cryptographic systems such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Data Encryption Standard (DES). These Comparisons included measurement of encryption time complexity, Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Entropy, encryption key space. Besides, the new method offers encryption key length flexibility and involvement of all image contents in its generation.

Therefore, security and privacy protection is a key concern during transmitting such sensitive data across the IoT network to be processed and stored on Cloud. In this paper, we proposed a lightweight encryption model that complies with the limited resources of IoT devices in terms of process and memory. Also, the encryption model also provides a high level of security for the transmitted data through a constant change of the key used for encrypting of transmitted IoT data. In addition, the key size used to encrypt transmitted data in the proposed model is large enough which makes it hard to break by the attackers. The experimental results show outstanding results with an average of 170.7 ms of encryption time for a key size 80 bits where the key size is relatively large and with an average PSNR of 7.7 compared to other algorithms.

The Routing Protocol for Low Power and Loss Network (RPL) is a routing protocol designed to serve as a proper routing protocol for packets in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). Among the most prominent issues exist in the RPL protocol are packet loss within the WSN and sensors power consumption especially in healthcare WSNs. Multiple Objective Functions (OF) in RPL intended to find the routes from source nodes to a destination node. This paper presents an evaluation to discover which OF is more efficient for a WSN in a healthcare scenario where the Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR) of WSN and the sensors' power consumption are prominent concerns. Expected transmission Count (ETX) and Objective Function Zero (OF0) of RPL were examined in various network densities and network topologies such as the grid and random topology. The simulation outcomes revealed that the OF0 is more efficient regarding the PDR and power consumption compared to the ETX in random topology.
