VANET is vehicular ad hoc network in which vehicles can transmit messages to each other via ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). During data transmission data or information may be accessed by attackers. So security in VANET is a challenging task. Various techniques are proposed by researchers to prevent VANET from attacks. Each technique has its own mechanism as well as pros and cons. In this paper, we discuss various trust management techniques used for forwarding data securely and the proposed mechanism for trust based data forwarding. Keywords: VANET (Vehicular Ad hoc Network), ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems), certification authorities (CA), reputationCite this Article Poonam Dabas, Aman Kumar.
