Abstract
IoV has become an appealing application that can provide a wide range of mobile services for drivers. In order to mitigate traffic congestion and reduce the occurrence of accidents, vehicles can be provided with up-to-date information regarding the location, trajectory, speed, and other relevant details of adjacent vehicles. Such an open environment leaves a lot of room for malicious nodes to pass falsified and tampered information. Due to the potential relevance and sensitivity of the information, IoV must address the security and privacy concerns in the network. In this chapter, they propose an efficient IoV-based decentralised authentication mechanism based on the blockchain named BBA- IoV to ensure secure node communication. This method requires the exchange of keys to encrypt communication. From performance analysis, they show that this approach protects communication against several attacks such as Sybil, GPS spoofing, tampering, and fabrication attacks.
