Abstract

VANET, the Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network, treats cars as nodes in a mobile network. Not surprisingly, VANET must be very secured since one of the network characteristics allows the network to be open to public. The digital signature used in VANET is the standard, ECDSA, or Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithms. ECDSA provides network security by employing a digital signature for messages being transmitted over the network. An ECDSA developed in C++ is described here. VANET messages were sent using the NS-3 network simulator. Two scenarios were created to test the code and the differences before and after implementing the digital signature.
