Trust access authentication in vehicular network based on blockchain
Abstract
Data sharing and privacy securing present extensive opportunities and challenges in vehicular network. This paper introduces `trust access authentication scheme' as a mechanism to achieve real-time monitoring and promote collaborative sharing for vehicles. Blockchain, which can provide secure authentication and protected privacy, is a crucial technology. However, traditional cloud computing performs poorly in supplying low-latency and fast-response services for moving vehicles. In this situation, edge computing enabled Blockchain network appeals to be a promising method, where moving vehicles can access storage or computing resource and get authenticated from Blockchain edge nodes directly. In this paper, a hierarchical architecture is proposed consist of vehicular network layer, Blockchain edge layer and Block-chain network layer. Through a authentication mechanism adopting digital signature algorithm, it achieves trusted authentication and ensures valid verification. Moreover, a caching scheme based on many-to-many matching is proposed to minimize average delivery delay of vehicles. Simulation results prove that the proposed caching scheme has a better performance than existing schemes based on centralized model or edge caching strategy in terms of hit ratio and average delay.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
