Wireless Communications are gaining more importance because they have opened new research fields by extending data networks connectivity to environments where wired solutions are difficult to install. The networks which are deployed in the areas where the needed infrastructure is not feasible to install are adhoc networks. Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs), in which each node acts as both data terminal and
router uses wireless medium without the need of any centralized control. Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) are subset of MANETs. The successful deployment of vehicular communication requires Vehicleto-Vehicle (V2V) & Vehicle–to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication with security to improve road safety and optimize road traffic. The technique used for secure communication in the presence of adversaries is
known as cryptography. Cryptography refers to encryption in which a plaintext message is converted into a ciphertext and this can be done with private-key or public-key. In this paper, an algorithm based on private key encryption is used to make communication possible between two people with QualNet simulator.
