Abstract

In Internet of Vehicles (IoV), it is getting increasing interests how to enhance the privacy of vehicles while commucating with other vehicles or Infrastructres. This paper proposes a vehicle privacy protection scheme based on blockchain and blind signature. Each vehicle has its own private key, and uses it to generate the correspongding public key. Then the vehicle obtains a digital certicate from the certicate authority (CA) through a blind signature algorithm, which ensures that the real identity information of the vehicle is strictly condential. When CA issues a certicate to a vehicle, the public key of the vehicle is stored in the blockchain. In vehicle-to-vehicle communication, the receiver can perform a hash operation with the sender’s public key to obtain a Merkel’s root value, and compare it with the root in the blockchain to confirm the legitimacy of the sender’s identity. Simulation experiment results verify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed scheme.
