Internet of Things (IoT) depicts an intelligent future, where any IoT-based devices having a sensorial and computing capabilities to interact with each other. Recently, we are living in the area of internet and rapidly moving towards a smart planet where devices are capable to be connected to each other. Cooperative ad-hoc vehicle systems are the main driving force for the actualization of IoT-based concept. Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) is considered as a promising platform for the intelligent wireless communication system. This paper presents and analyzes the tradeoffs between the security and reliability of the IoT-based VANET system in the presence of eavesdropping attacks using smart vehicle relays based on opportunistic relay selection (ORS) scheme. Then, the optimization of the distance between the source (S), destination (D), and Eavesdropper (E) is illustrated in details, showing the effect of this parameter on the IoT-based network. In order to improve the SRT, we quantify the attainable SRT improvement with variable distances between IoT-based nodes. It is shown that given the maximum tolerable Intercept Probability (IP), the Outage Probability (OP) of our proposed model approaches zero for Ge → ∞, where Ge is distance ratio between S — E via the vehicle relay (R).
