Abstract
VANET technology is an essential component of Intelligent Transportation Systems, which makes c communication between moving cars and stationary Road Side Units more accessible. It allows vehicle nodes to share crucial data among communication devices. VANET has significant potential to enhance traffic efficiency and road safety. This is accomplished by decreasing the chances of collisions between vehicles and reducing the number of accidents. Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks are a crucial issue in VANET which needs significant consideration from researchers. To solve the problem of man-in-the-middle attacks, this article presents a dynamic and optimized routing approach for VANET conversation in smart cities by utilizing a chaotic secure multi-verse optimization algorithm. The strategy that has been proposed seeks to achieve the goal of ensuring safe and effective interaction between vehicles participating in VANETs by dynamically determining the optimal path for the exchange of data. A chaotic protect multi-verse optimization approach is used to generate several random sequences from which the most secure route may be selected. This is done to enhance the security of the VANET transmission network during transmission. The results of the trials indicate that the suggested technique is more successful in avoiding MITM and improving the functioning of VANET connections in settings that are characterized by intelligent cities.
