We are pleased to invite you to submit your paper to Special Issue on "Reliable and secure VANETs" in IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing. Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) has gained a significant attention during the last decades both from industrial and academia communities. Novel VANET-enabled active safety automotive applications are heavily dependent on reliability and security of underlying inter-vehicle communication protocols. The error-prone nature of the wireless channel and its openness to external invasions as well as dynamic VANET environment, impose the need for intensive studies before applications like platooning or collision avoidance can become a part of our daily life. The aim of this special issue is to encompass research advances in all areas of reliability and security in VANETs. We welcome contributions relating to novel protocols for reliable and secure vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication as well as methods for their performance evaluation. This special issue intends to provide a venue for interested researchers and practitioners to share their novel research results.
