Abstract

The vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET) may enhance traffic flow and offer convenient information services. The purpose of providing self-managing data communication abilities for automobiles on the road is to allow functions for example aided vehicle driving and security alerts. When the vehicle nodes exchange data with other nodes, issues like identity validity and message reliability have an impact on VANETs. The approach utilized to enable car nodes to upload sensor information to a reliable center for storage is vulnerable to security threats including malicious manipulation and information leaking. With the help of Blockchain (BC) technology, vehicle users can also participate in ads dissemination process to gain monetary incentives. But the existing BC-based VANET schemes suffer from privacy, security, and efficiency issues. VANETs require a secure and effective reputation verification process to avoid replay attacks and reduce the storage cost. Additionally, the reliance on a centralized entity for the certificate revocation makes the system-wide open to the single point of failure vulnerability. Simulation results show that to conquer these problems, a BC-centered secure as well as efficient, and conditional anonymity-enabled scheme is recommended.
