Realization of Blockchain in Named Data Networking-Based Internet-of-Vehicles

Abstract

The theme topic or column/department name goes after the colon. Realization of Blockchain in Named Data Networking-based Internet-of-Vehicles The revolution of Internet-of-vehicles (IoV) has stimulated a substantial response from academia, research and industry due to its massive potential to improve overall transportation. Current IoV faces huge challenges due to its reliance on the IP-based network architecture. Therefore, Named Data Networking (NDN) is proposed as a promising architecture to solve issues posed by IP-based systems. Recently, Blockchains (BCs) are utilized within IoV to increase network security. However, the integration of BC within NDN-enabled IoV is still an open research problem. In this study, we proposed a novel tierbased architecture known as "Blockchain in NDN-enabled Internet-of-Vehicles (BINDN)" which can support BC within NDN-enabled IoV. BINDN can be used as a reference architecture to design security solutions in NDN-enabled IoV using BC. Further, it provides an extensive set of applications including IoV security, trust management and privacy enhancements. Moreover, we highlighted major challenges and issues when integrating BC within NDN-enabled IoV.

Blockchain Technology for Intelligent Transportation Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The ability of vehicles to securely communicate among themselves is a key factor for a successful vehicular system. The objective of research works in the communication and network axis [ [157], [158], [376]- [378], [383]- [411], [453], [468]- [471] was to enhance existing or suggest new communication protocols in vehicular networks, such as VANETs [374], [375], [390], [394], IoT based networks [385], IoV [157], [387], [389], [391], [472], [473], UAVs [388], SDN [157], [158], [412], for better security, privacy, trust, reliability, authentication, anonymity, access control, and security against attacks. The contributions were from two major IoV layers: communication and security layers.…”

“…There is a lot of recent interest in this technology since it is especially applicable for IoV. They have been used in studies like [18], [53], [159] for achieving high integrity and accountability in a vehicular network.…”

Blockchain-Based Key Management and Green Routing Scheme for Vehicular Named Data Networking

“…To verify the authenticity of the public key, one can retrieve the secret key chain using the key name. In principle, this method avoids the generation of false messages, but in the application of IoV, there are still some challenges [12]: (1) as a centralized service centre, the root key may be subject to attacks and tampering, which can lead to a single point of failure. Especially in the case of crossdomain key verification, since each domain is relatively independent, it is difficult for each domain to verify the authenticity of the keys issued by the other domains without a trust anchor; (2) since verification needs to traverse the secret key chain, the process of retrieval and verification requires considerable additional overhead, which cannot meet the low-delay requirements of IoV.…”
