        abstract = {A secure authentication mechanism for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) using blockchain ensures that communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and users is protected from unauthorized access and data tampering, aims to develop decentralized, tamper-proof authentication system using blockchain's distributed ledger technology. By leveraging smart contracts, each vehicle and device in the network can authenticate securely without relying on a central authority, reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing trust. The system ensures transparency, immutability, and security while maintaining low latency, crucial for real-time vehicular communications. It addresses key challenges such as scalability, privacy, and efficient consensus protocols to enable secure, fast, and reliable interactions within the IoV ecosystem.
The rapid advancement of intelligent transportation systems has given rise to the Internet of Vehicles(IoV), enabling seamless communication between vehicles, infrastructure, and networks. However, the open and dynamic nature of IoV exposes it to significant security threats, particularly in the areas of authentication, data integrity, and trust management. This project proposes a novel secure authentication mechanism that integrates Blockchain technology with the Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) algorithm to address these challenges. Blockchain provides a decentralized and immutable ledger that ensures transparency and resistance to tampering, while BFT ensures reliable consensus even in the presence of malicious or faulty nodes. By leveraging these technologies, the proposed system enables secure and efficient mutual authentication among vehicles and network components, without relying on centralized authorities. Additionally, smart contracts are utilized to automate authentication processes and enforce security policies dynamically.
The proposed solution enhances security, scalability, and trust within the IoV ecosystem. Simulation results confirm that the system significantly reduces authentication delays and provides strong resilience against various cyber-attacks, making it a practical and robust approachfor real-world IoV implementations.},
