Abstract
Smart transportation or Internet of Vehicles (IoV)-enabled transportation extends the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication network. Smart transportation is a real-time application that helps enhance driving aids with the help of vehicle’s Artificial Intelligence (AI), awareness of other vehicles, and their actions giving out the best on-road experience. Smart transportation also protects life and saves cost by avoiding life-threatening instances like collisions, accidents, and thefts on the road. Since the communication among various entities involved in the IoV environment is via an open channel (e.g., vehicles, pedestrians, fleet management systems, and roadside infrastructure), it allows a passive/active adversary to intercept, modify, delete, or even insert fake information during communication. It is then a severe concern for the vehicles users to determine whether the received information is genuine. Many security protocols have addressed this issue by adding an authentication mechanism. Authentication schemes face a lot of limitations like central registration authority, privacy issues, long certificate mechanism, fabricated hardware problems, excess storage overheads, and large computation and communication costs. To mitigate these issues, several researchers have proposed blockchain technology-based authentication protocols in smart transportation. This chapter focuses on the security aspects of smart transportation and how blockchain can be used as a security solution for smart transportation systems. We briefly explain blockchain, its types and its advantages. We outline few schemes that provide security solutions for the blockchain-based smart transportation system. A comparative analysis is also provided to study the effectiveness of the schemes.
