###CSCE665_Project Securing VANETs against Sybil Attacks###
			




Files:
	
	vanet_sybil.py  - python script to do all the functions
	Test_1 - 5      - Test scenarios having different config files and route files.


Usage:
	
	- Download the sumo simulator for Win from https://www.eclipse.org/sumo/ and set the environment path variables
	
	- Run the file sumo/tools/osmWebWizard.py and select any desired location to generate the osm file
	
	- Run the command in the command prompt: netconvert --osm my_osm_net.xml -o my_net.net.xml
	  to generate the netfile.
	  
	- Run the below command to generate the route file.
	python .\randomTrips.py -n <path to netfile> -r <path to route file> -o <path to trips file> -e 1000 -p 20 --random -s 8 --min-distance 1000.0
	
	-e 1000: end time for simulation - 1000s
	-p 20:   a vehicle is genrated every 20s.
	-s 8: random seed generator - Change the value 
	--min-distance 1000: minimum distance between every source destination: 1000m

	- Generate the sumocfg file by adding the netfile and routefile and save as .cfg
		<configuration>
			<input>
				<net-file value="generated net-file"/>
				<route-files value="generated route-file"/>
			</input>
		</configuration>
	
	- Run the python script vanet_sybil.py inside the test folder to start the simulation.
	
	- Hit play button on the popped up SUMO window and close the window once simulation ends.
	
	- The code will continue to execute and the files will be generated and the overlap_xxx_freq.xlsx contains the final values. 
	
	- The nodes havin the frequency >=5 are considered sybil nodes.
