Abstract: The application of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANETs) in underwater environments has posed significant security challenges, especially in the physical layer. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the security threats of Underwater VANETs (UVANETs) jamming, eavesdropping, spoofing, wormhole, and Sybil attacks. The existing countermeasures analysed include physical layer authentication, cryptographic techniques, acoustic encryption, and AI-based intrusion detection systems. The research gaps highlighted involve adaptive security models, AI-based defences, and cross-layer security mechanisms. Future research is focused to combine federated learning with block chain-based security measures to enhance the resilience of UVANETs.
