A Summary of Security Techniques-Based Blockchain in IoV

Abstract

With the rapid development of the informatization and industrialization of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), the number and application of connected vehicles are growing rapidly. The safety problem is related to the property and life of human beings, which has attracted extensive attention from academic and industrial circles. Based on the study of high-quality literature published in the past decade and other high-level research works, this paper first analyzes the forms of attack against the Internet of Vehicles from the two aspects of attack mode and target. Then, it summarizes the existing blockchain-based system framework of the Internet of Vehicles (BIoV) and then discusses the security solutions of blockchain-based vehicles from the aspects of authentication, privacy, trust management, access control, and so on, to support the distributed system architecture and solve the security challenges of the Internet of Vehicles. Finally, the technical difficulties and the direction of further research of BIoV are summarized.
