“…Security and privacy is a great concern for any network, and many recent works have pointed out various security issues and solutions that have been come up in the recent past [228], [229], [230]. Security and privacy are also very important topics in computing offloading in VANETs.…”

With significant advances in communication and computing, modern day vehicles are becoming increasingly intelligent. This gives them the ability to contribute to safer roads and passenger comfort through network devices, cameras, sensors, and computational storage and processing capabilities. However, to run new and popular applications, and to enable vehicles operating autonomously requires massive computational resources. Computational resources available with the current day vehicles are not sufficient to process all these demands. In this situation, other vehicles, edge servers, and servers in remote data centers can help the vehicles by lending their computing resources. However, to take advantage of these computing resources, computation offloading techniques have to be leveraged to transfer tasks or entire applications to run on other devices. Such computation offloading can lead to improved performance and Quality of Service (QoS) for applications and for the network. However, computation offloading in a highly dynamic environment such as vehicular networks is a major challenge. Therefore, this survey aims to review and organize the computation offloading literature in vehicular environments. In addition, we demystify some concepts, propose a taxonomy with the most important aspects and classify most works in the area according to each category. We also present the main tools, scenarios, subjects, strategies, objectives, etc., used in the works. Finally, we present the main challenges and future directions to guide future research in this active research area.

“…In the process of interaction, a large amount of information such as time, location, behavior, participants and purpose will inevitably be generated, which may contain personal sensitive information. If it cannot be effectively protected, it is easy to be intercepted by attackers in the process of information interaction or sharing [59][60][61]. If personal information is leaked, it may bring risks to personal property, life and even personal safety.…”

In order to ensure the information security, most of the important information including the data of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in the energy internet is currently transmitted and exchanged through the intranet or the carrier communication. The former increases the cost of network construction, and the latter is susceptible to interference and attacks in the process of information dissemination. The blockchain is an emerging decentralized architecture and distributed computing paradigm. Under the premise that these nodes do not need mutual trust, the blockchain can implement trusted peer-to-peer communication for protecting the important information by adopting distributed consensus mechanisms, encryption algorithms, point-to-point transmission and smart contracts. In response to the above issues, this paper firstly analyzes the information security problems existing in the energy internet from the four perspectives of system control layer, device access, market transaction and user privacy. Then blockchain technology is introduced, and its working principles and technical characteristics are analyzed. Based on the technical characteristics, we propose the multilevel and multichain information transmission model for the weak centralization of scheduling and the decentralization of transaction. Furthermore, we discuss that the information transmission model helps solve some of the information security issues from the four perspectives of system control, device access, market transaction and user privacy. Application examples are used to illustrate the technical features that benefited from the blockchain for the information security of the energy internet.

“…Various research studies [15]- [17] have demonstrated that various IoT devices are not secured properly against cyber-attacks. This insecurity can be attributed to a number of reasons, spanning from users not changing the default credentials necessary to log-in to the device and configure it, to software design flaws and hardware restrictions [18], [19]. As a result, the reliability of services powered by IoT devices in Smart Airports and critical infrastructure is at risk from cyber-attacks that can tamper with data, causing sensors to report erroneous information or make devices and systems entirely unavailable through denial of service attacks [11], [20].…”
