TL;DR

The paper proposes a blockchain-backed framework to enable secure, trusted intelligent vehicle data sharing by establishing a trust environment among vehicles using a proof-of-driving concept.

ABSTRACT

The Intelligent vehicle (IV) is experiencing revolutionary growth in research and industry, but it still suffers from many security vulnerabilities. Traditional security methods are incapable to provide secure IV data sharing. The major issues in IV data sharing are trust, data accuracy and reliability of data sharing data in the communication channel. Blockchain technology works for the crypto currency, Bit-coin, which is recently used to build trust and reliability in peer-to-peer networks having similar topologies as IV Data sharing. In this paper, we have proposed Intelligent Vehicle data sharing we are proposing a trust environment based Intelligent Vehicle framework. In proposed framework, we have use the blockchain technology as backbone of the IV data-sharing environment. The blockchain technology is provide the trust environment between the vehicles with the based on proof of driving.

Motivation & Objective

• Address security vulnerabilities in intelligent vehicle data sharing.
• Establish trust, data accuracy, and reliability in vehicle data exchanges.
• Propose a blockchain-backed architecture to create a trust environment among vehicles.
• Introduce the concept of proof of driving as the basis for trust in data sharing.

Proposed method

• Utilize blockchain technology as the backbone of the intelligent vehicle data sharing environment.
• Develop a trust framework that enables secure data exchange between vehicles.
• Incorporate a proof of driving mechanism to establish trust in shared data.
• Highlight how blockchain can provide trust and reliability in peer-to-peer IV data sharing.

Experimental results

Research questions

• RQ1 How can a blockchain-based framework improve trust and reliability in intelligent vehicle data sharing?
• RQ2 What role does proof of driving play in establishing trust among vehicles for data sharing?
• RQ3 What architectural components are required to implement a blockchain-backed IV data sharing framework?

Key findings

• Proposes a trust-environment based intelligent vehicle data-sharing framework using blockchain.
• Uses blockchain as the backbone to enhance trust, data accuracy, and reliability in IV data sharing.
• Introduces a proof of driving concept to underpin trust between vehicles in the data-sharing ecosystem.
• Identifies security vulnerabilities in traditional IV data sharing and addresses them through blockchain-based solutions.
• Notes that the paper is a four-page work with five figures, outlining the framework and its components.
