A Study on Various Cyber-Attacks and their Classification in UAV Assisted Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) systems are autonomous systems that can fly separately or it can be functioned remotely without carrying any individuals. These networks prone to various attacks. The people are benefitted from the current growth of networking and cyber world; however, the rapid development of cyber world has furthermore contributed to immoral practices by persons who are using the technology to utilize others. That type of utilization of cyber world with the intension of accessing unauthorized or protected information, collapsing networks, spying, data and currency theft is called as cyber-attack. There is a tremendous increase in Cyber-attacks in number and complexity greater than the previous era, and also lack of awareness on cyber- attacks which has provided many people/societies/groups reveal the true to these attacks. The main aim of this study is to do a brief study of these cyber-attacks in order to create alertness about the various types of attacks and their action so that suitable security methods can be originated against such attacks and also this paper explores the impacts and parameters affected by the most dangerous cyber-attack namely, false data dissemination attack on UAV networks for further implementation and research.
