Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) encompasses technologies, services, and applications facilitating communication between vehicles (V2V) and between vehicles and fixed infrastructure (V2I and I2V). This mutual interaction constitutes a Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET) which supports a plethora of applications targeting critical transportation aspects, such as safety, mo-bility, and environmental considerations. Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC), op-erating on the 5.9 GHz band, is pivotal for such exchanges. We introduced an innovative algorithm designed to identify jamming attacks and transition the Safety Application to a secure fail-safe mode. This algorithm leverages a dual-metric strategy, incorporating both distance and PDR measurements. Field tests confirm that our algorithm adeptly recognizes the activities of deceptive jammers, ensuring a prompt shift of the safety application into its fail-safe state. This paper delves into these countermeasures, evaluating their efficiency via mathematical modelling, simulations, and on-ground testing. Findings acknowledge that these strategies bolster the reliability of safety applications in jamming scenarios. Furthermore, the approaches propounded align with ongoing standardization endeavours by relevant authorities, ensuring communication mediums remain unhindered.

The vast rise in the number of Internet-connected devices necessitates a more accessible spectrum. As a result, Cognitive Radio was already proposed as a solution to the problem of restricted spectrum resources by utilizing available spectrum which is assigned to primary users. This method allows the secondary user to utilize the spectrum whenever the primary user is not using it, and it does so without intruding with the primary user. Whenever the secondary user detects the spectrum, it faced some issues, such as complexity in sensing leading to a lack of noise value, and the primary user is hidden to all secondary users. In order to tackle these challenges, an adaptive threshold matched filter detector and a cooperative matched filter detector are utilized in this paper to detect the spectrum. The probability of detection (Pd), probability of miss detection (Pm), and probability of false alarm (Pf) are the metrics used to assess sensing accuracy. To simulate suggested detectors, the MATLAB R2020a software was utilized. In comparison to earlier studies, the simulation conclusions reveal that the detection process starts with lower SNR values.

Product counterfeiting is an on-going problem in supply chains and retail environments, Recently an anti-counterfeiting protocol to address this issue via cost-effective use of auto-identification technologies such as radio-frequency identification (RFID) was proposed by researchers.Yet the use case of re-selling the same product was not been fully addressed which might cause serious problem for the exciting and proposed schemes and transactions. This paper proposes an extended RFID-based anti-counterfeiting to address the use case of the original buyer reselling the same item to a second buyer. The extended scheme will be followed by a formal security analysis to show that the proposed protocol satisfies the requirements of security correctness and is resistant to compromise through security attacks.

Counterfeiting and theft have always been problems that incur high costs and results in considerable losses for the international markets. In this research paper, we will address the issue of counterfeiting while using RFID technology in retailer systems or other industries by presenting a new anti-counterfeiting and anti-theft system for the retailer market. This system will address the two above mentioned issues and provide a solution that can save the retailer systems millions of dollars yearly. This proposed system will achieve the objective of preventing or minimising the counterfeiting and theft of tagged products. At the same time, it will provide a strong indication for suspiciously sold or obtained items. Furthermore, we conducted a security analysis to prove the correctness of our protocol on the basis of the strand spaces.
