Abstract: Owing to the wireless nature and dynamic topology, vehicular ad-hoc network is sensitive towards various types of assaults, in which wormhole assault is one of them. This attack disturbs the route discovery process of any routing protocol. Here, an innovative approach is proposed to prevent the wormhole attack on reactive routing such as AODV, DSR of VANET by using the clustering and digital signatures concept. In this research work, SUMO 0.32.0 and NS-3.24.1 simulators are used. The simulation results show that the proposed approach is able to prevent the wormhole assault on reactive routing in VANET. The novelty of this research work is that till now the approach based on clustering and digital signatures to prevent the wormhole assault on reactive routing in VANET, is not used. By using this proposed approach the VANET can be made more secure. The secure VANET is essential to implement the intelligent transport system.
