Abstract

Blockchain, a promising technology that has matured and nowadays is widely used in many fields, such as supply chain management, smart grids, agriculture and logistics, has also been proposed for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) ecosystem to enhance the protection of the data that roadside units and vehicles exchange. Blockchain technology can inherently guarantee the availability, integrity and immutability of data stored in IoV, yet it cannot protect privacy and data confidentiality on its own. As such, solutions that utilise this technology have to consider the adoption of privacy-preserving schemes to address users’ privacy concerns. This paper provides a literature review of proposed solutions that provide different vehicular services using blockchain technology while preserving privacy. In this context, it analyses existing solutions’ main characteristics and properties to provide a comprehensive and critical overview and identifies their contribution in the field. Moreover, it provides suggestions to researchers for future work in the field of privacy-preserving blockchain-enabled solutions for vehicular networks.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A few studies focused on specific PPML techniques within IoV applications, such as HE in VANETs, local-DP for securing IoV systems, BC-PPML in IoV, blockchain-enabled FL in IoV, blockchain for IoV, and FL in CAVs and ITS applications.

    “A few studies focused on specific PPML techniques within IoV applications, such HE in vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) [132], local-DP for securing IoV systems [191], BC-PPML in IoV [56], blockchain-enabled FL in IoV [13], blockchain for IoV (discussed some aspects of BC-PPML) [151], and FL in CAVs [18] and ITS applications [185, 186].”

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.
