Blockchain-based Message Dissemination in VANET

Abstract

With the evolution of vehicle technology, VANET plays an important role in saving life and property of the drivers by disseminating critical event information. However, the traditional VANET faces several security issues. We propose a new type of blockchain to resolve critical message dissemination issues in VANET. We create a local blockchain for real world event messages exchanged between the vehicles within the scope of the countries. In this paper, we discuss a blockchain suitable for VANET. We present a public blockchain that stores the node trustworthiness and message trustworthiness in a distributed ledger that is appropriate for secure message dissemination.
