Nowadays, we are entering into an era where things of use are becoming more intelligent and smarter than ever. A smart city can be defined as a city that deploys the services of the existence scientific advancements in communication and infor-mation technology to carve an urbanized infrastructure and services for the city which covers all the essential aspects of modern civilization, viz., efficient water management, primary health care, renewable and clean energies, smart grids, intelligent road safety, e-governance, wireless Internet access, efficient waste recycle, transportation utilities, education, artificial intelligence-aided public safety, and real estate in a more productive, useful, and comprehensive manner.
The information security in a smart city, that is highly important, is mostly dependent on three factors: city governance, socioeconomic dimensions, and technological dependence. The main responsibility of these factors is to identify and resolve the information security issues in a smart city. Here, the ICT technologies play the important role and work together to form a smart city. They not only implement the whole infrastructure of a smart city and provide solutions to infor-mation security problems, but also trigger new concerns and problems regarding security, privacy, protection, and resilience.
The ultimate mission of the smart cities is to brave innovative creativity by the governments and commercial sector to initiate thefinancial progress and develop day-to-day quality of life by empowering local development and connecting latest technology to benefit the residents. Smart energy, small buildings, ease of mobility, and data and personal security are some of the key parameters of smart cities.
Technologies used in smart cities capture data relating to various forms of privacy and significantly raise the volume and increase the protection of data being gen-erated about people and places. Confidentiality can be endangered and ruptured by a large number of practices which are generally treated as intolerable; however, these are part of operations in a smart city ecosystem. This chapter discusses the security issue in great detail and also provides some solutions to security in modern smart cities.

Towards Heterogeneous Architectures of Hybrid Vehicular Sensor Networks for Smart Cities
Soumia Bellaouar, Mohamed Guerroumi, Abdelouahid Derhab and Samira Moussaoui
Abstract Smart cities are increasingly playing a fundamental role in managing the city’s asset. Smart transportation is an important building block of a smart city as it can efficiently resolve many issues related to the traffic on the road. Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) in smart cities may ensure wide inter-vehicle communi-cation and disseminate data and safety-related information. VANETs have their specific characteristics such as long lifetime battery energy, high mobility, and large storage capabilities. In certain circumstances, VANETs may not ensure timely detection of road events and connectivity between vehicles due to their low density, high mobility, or low deployment of roadside unit (RSU) infrastructure. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are equipped with low processing and low storage capabilities but they ensure high detection of events. To overcome VANETs lim-itations, and as VANET and WSN have complementary characteristics, the com-bination of VANET and wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies into one hybrid architecture enables to identify new aspects andfields of intelligent trans-portation systems and may offer new services for the smart cities. In this kind of hybrid network, sensor nodes have small size and can be deployed densely inside the road to monitor traffic, roads status, and weather conditions. This chapter describes the hybrid vehicular sensor networks and discusses their deployed applications, communication paradigms, challenges, and existing architectural solutions. Moreover, a heterogeneous VANET-WSN architecture is proposed and open issues and future directions are discussed to help stimulating future studies in this emerging researchfield.
