Security is a huge concern in VANETs (Vehicular Ad hoc NETworks) since the information being conveyed may affect life-or-death decisions. One of the security concerns is the Sybil Attack. This attack attempts to create multiple identities to disrupt or control the network. A malicious node utilizing the Sybil Attack in VANETs can disrupt the network in various ways. It can create a large number of Sybil nodes to intervene in message forwarding, potentially causing a massive pileup and great loss of life. A malicious node can also use the Sybil Attack to create illusions of traffic congestions, getting other drivers to take alternate routes and leaving a clear path for the malicious node to its destination. In this paper, we discuss several defense strategies for the Sybil Attack in VANETs.
