Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) facilitate vehicles to broadcast beacon messages to ensure road safety. Rogue nodes in VANETs cause a Sybil attack to create an illusion of fake traffic congestion by broadcasting malicious information leading to catastrophic consequences, such as the collision of vehicles. Previous researchers used either cryptography, trust scores, or past vehicle data to detect rogue nodes, but they suffer from high processing delay, overhead, and false-positive rate (FPR). We propose a fog computing-based Sybil attack detection for VANETs (FSDV), which utilizes onboard units (OBUs) of all the vehicles in the region to create a dynamic fog for rogue nodes detection using statistical techniques. We aim to reduce the data processing delays, overhead, and FPR in detecting rogue nodes causing Sybil attacks at high vehicle densities. The performance of our framework was carried out with simulations using OMNET++ and SUMO simulators. Results show that our framework ensures 43% lower processing delays, 13% lower overhead, and 35% lower FPR at high vehicle densities compared to existing Sybil attack detection schemes.
