Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of safety and privacy threats in establishing autonomous vehicle platoons in vehicle social networks, which would hinder the widespread adoption of platoons, a scheme for recommendation of autonomous vehicle platoon members by combining the blockchain and vehicle social networks is proposed. A series of security protocols to form a privacy platoon recommendation algorithm is first proposed. Second, the homomorphic encryption and secure multi-party computing are integrated to protect data security and reduce the risk of privacy leakage. Finally, the blockchain and vehicle social networks are combined to achieve efficient system operation. The proof of security shows that the proposed scheme meets the requirement of privacy protection. Besides, experimental results show that the cost of communication and that of calculation in the proposed scheme are both acceptable and reliable and effective for the formation of the platoon.

Key words: vehicular communication, blockchain, privacy protection, homomorphic encryption
