Abstract

The application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) has been the topic of extensive research in the last decade. Various aspects of WSNs have been addressed in the context of transportation networks. However, those efforts concentrated on preventive techniques constituting a first line of defence (like cryptography and authentication), which are effective in inhibiting the diverse malicious attacks. Relatively, little attention has been paid for employing a second line of defence that can detect intrusive behaviour after successfully penetrating the first line of defence. The latter line of defence is known as the Intrusion Detection System (IDS). In this paper, we study the incorporation of IDSs in WSN-based ITSs and propose a novel IDS based on the WITS architecture.
