A COLLECTION OF APPLICATIONS OF BLOCKCHAIN IN VEHICULAR AD HOC NETWORK

In this book, the extra-ordinary services of blockchain are presented to provide a decentralized and distributed storage service that provides security, integrity, authenticity, attack and privacy preservation capacity, etc. for VANET. Detail investigation was done to find out the area where and how blockchain can be implemented in this area as well as the application and efficiency have also been analysed. Then, firstly a secure message transmission method is implemented for cluster-based VANET and then to remove the authentication-related problem another method was implemented by using blockchain. To implement the system several novel steps were being taken for example updating the MAC packet structure, multi-level blockchain structure, etc. Performance analysis is presented convincingly which presents that the proposed method performs more economically in terms of storage and computational time consumption. The proposed methods ensure integrity, non-repudiation, immutability, privacy preservation and attack prevention capabilities, etc. Outcomes of this book are recognized by several top-ranked journals by publishing three of the works.
