Abstract

The growing need for wide and ubiquitous accessibility to advanced Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) has led to the evolution of conventional Vehicle to Everything (V2X) paradigms into the Internet of Vehicles (IoVs). Next-generation IoVs establish seamless connections among humans, vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and service platforms to enhance transit efficiency, road safety, and environmental conservation, with notable advancements in IoV technologies, specifically in secure data exchange and user privacy protection. Additionally, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are envisioned as scalable and adaptable solutions for comprehensive IoV service coverage. The current approaches in IoV mainly concentrate on local infrastructure setups, overlooking the potential of infrastructure-less IoVs that lack extensive edge facilities. Also, the transmission of data over public channels by vehicles equipped with servers is susceptible to interception and tampering by malicious attackers. Moreover, the substantial amount of real-time data generated by vehicles, IoT devices, travelers, and social interactions pose a significant strain on servers as well as latency issues. To address these security concerns, this research suggests a secure-lightweight data collection and sharing framework for 6G-assisted smart transportation using blockchain and UAV, called IoV-6G+. The process entails drones collecting information and transmitting it to dedicated edge servers that securely aggregate the information and generate transactions on a cloud server. A cloud server securely collects data from edge servers, creates transactions, combines them into blocks, and then confirms and adds these blocks to the blockchain through a voting-based consensus method in a peer-to-peer network of cloud servers. Additionally, the security analysis of our proposed IoV-6G+ is assessed using the “Informal and formal (i.e., Scyther Tool, and Real-or-Random (RoR) Model) methods”, showcasing its efficacy in delivering a secure and efficient authentication mechanism for IoV. Moreover, the proposed IoV-6G+ exhibits lower computational and communication costs as well as energy consumption, along with enhanced security features, when compared to existing authentication frameworks.

IoV-6G+:6G 辅助环境下基于区块链的安全车联网数据收集与共享框架
人们对广泛、无处不在的先进智能交通系统(ITS)的需求与日俱增,这促使传统的 "车到万物"(V2X)模式向 "车联网"(IoVs)演进。下一代 IoV 在人、车、物联网(IoT)设备和服务平台之间建立无缝连接,以提高运输效率、道路安全和环境保护,IoV 技术取得了显著进步,特别是在安全数据交换和用户隐私保护方面。此外,无人驾驶飞行器(UAV)被视为可扩展、适应性强的解决方案,可实现全面的物联网服务覆盖。目前的物联网方法主要集中在本地基础设施设置上,忽略了缺乏广泛边缘设施的无基础设施物联网的潜力。此外,配备服务器的车辆通过公共信道传输数据容易被恶意攻击者拦截和篡改。此外,车辆、物联网设备、旅行者和社交互动产生的大量实时数据也会对服务器造成巨大压力,并带来延迟问题。为了解决这些安全问题,本研究提出了一种安全、轻量级的数据收集和共享框架,用于使用区块链和无人机的 6G 辅助智能交通,即 IoV-6G+。这一过程需要无人机收集信息并将其传输到专用的边缘服务器,这些边缘服务器会安全地汇总信息并在云服务器上生成交易。云服务器从边缘服务器安全地收集数据,创建交易,将其组合成区块,然后在云服务器的点对点网络中通过基于投票的共识方法确认并将这些区块添加到区块链中。此外,我们还使用 "非正式和正式(即Scyther工具和真实或随机(RoR)模型)方法 "评估了我们提出的IoV-6G+的安全性分析,展示了它在为IoV提供安全高效的认证机制方面的功效。此外,与现有的身份验证框架相比,拟议的 IoV-6G+ 降低了计算和通信成本以及能耗,并增强了安全功能。

期刊介绍: Vehicular communications is a growing area of communications between vehicles and including roadside communication infrastructure. Advances in wireless communications are making possible sharing of information through real time communications between vehicles and infrastructure. This has led to applications to increase safety of vehicles and communication between passengers and the Internet. Standardization efforts on vehicular communication are also underway to make vehicular transportation safer, greener and easier. The aim of the journal is to publish high quality peer–reviewed papers in the area of vehicular communications. The scope encompasses all types of communications involving vehicles, including vehicle–to–vehicle and vehicle–to–infrastructure. The scope includes (but not limited to) the following topics related to vehicular communications: Vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communications Channel modelling, modulating and coding Congestion Control and scalability issues Protocol design, testing and verification Routing in vehicular networks Security issues and countermeasures Deployment and field testing Reducing energy consumption and enhancing safety of vehicles Wireless in–car networks Data collection and dissemination methods Mobility and handover issues Safety and driver assistance applications UAV Underwater communications Autonomous cooperative driving Social networks Internet of vehicles Standardization of protocols.
