A Blockchain-based Vehicle-trust Management FrameworkUnder a Crowdsourcing Environment

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Vehicular crowdsourcing networks (VCNs) enable vehicles to provide or obtain traffic-related services in a costefficient and flexible manner. Therefore, it is crucial to provide trusted management in VCNs for high reliability towards both service producers and consumers. However, most recent VCN platforms rely on a third party to manage crowdsourcing services which might be not fully trusted by users. For the issue, this paper proposes a blockchain-based trust management scheme for VCNs to provide a decentralized and trusted service management. A comprehensive trust evaluation model (TEM) is designed to quantify the trust degree of each vehicular node, and a vehicle-trust blockchain framework called VTchain is proposed to preserve the trust values of nodes while guaranteeing transparency and trustworthiness. Particularly, we leverage a trusted execution environment (TEE) to provide secure trust evaluation to tackle possible untrusted road-side units. In addition, we introduce TEM-based Proof of Trust to support blockchain maintenance, which works together with an efficient consensus algorithm Zyzzyva for improved scalability. Finally, extensive experiments are conducted by developing a testbed deployed on cloud servers for measurements.
