Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) have the potential to improve road safety and reduce traffic congestion by enhancing sharing of messages about road conditions. Communication in VANETs depends upon a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) that checks for message confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. One challenge that the PKI infrastructure does not eliminate is the possibility of malicious vehicles mounting a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. We present a scheme that combines statistical modeling and machine learning techniques to detect and prevent blackhole attacks in a VANET environment.Simulation results demonstrate that on average, our model produces an Area Under The Curve (ROC) and Receiver Operating Characteristics (AUC) score of 96.78% which is much higher than a no skill ROC AUC score and only 3.22% away from an ideal ROC AUC score. Considering all the performance metrics, we show that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Gradient Boosting classifier are more accurate and perform consistently better under various circumstances. Both have an accuracy of over 98%, F1-scores of over 95%, and ROC AUC scores of over 97%. Our scheme is robust and accurate as evidenced by its ability to identify and prevent blackhole attacks. Moreover, the scheme is scalable in that addition of vehicles to the network does not compromise its accuracy and robustness.

With the growth of internet world has transformed into a global market with all monetary and business exercises being carried online. Being the most imperative resource of the developing scene, it is the vulnerable object and hence needs to be secured from the users with dangerous personality set. Since the Internet does not have focal surveillance component, assailants once in a while, utilizing varied and advancing hacking topologies discover a path to bypass framework's security and one such collection of assaults is Intrusion. An intrusion is a movement of breaking into the framework by compromising the security arrangements of the framework set up. The technique of looking at the system information for the conceivable intrusions is known intrusion detection. For the last two decades, automatic intrusion detection system has been an important exploration point. Till now researchers have developed Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) with the capability of detecting attacks in several available environments; latest on the scene are Machine Learning approaches. Machine learning techniques are the set of evolving algorithms that learn with experience, have improved performance in the situations they have already encountered and also enjoy a broad range of applications in speech recognition, pattern detection, outlier analysis etc. There are a number of machine learning techniques developed for different applications and there is no universal technique that can work equally well on all datasets. In this work, we evaluate all the machine learning algorithms provided by Weka against the standard data set for intrusion detection i.e. KddCupp99. Different measurements contemplated are False Positive Rate, precision, ROC, True Positive Rate.
