A Novel IoV Block-Streaming Service Awareness and Trusted Verification Scheme in 6G

TLDR: This article proposes a novel IoV block-streaming service awareness and trusted verification in 6 G, combined with identity-based blind signature technology, which can realize the mutual authentication of IoV devices and edge servers while keeping the user's real identity information confidential.

Abstract: 6 G and mobile Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV) technology require a secure, open, and transparent system. Blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, non-tampering, and traceability, which can improve the robustness, data privacy, and security transparency of the overall system. Therefore, blockchain will be the most promising technology to ensure the security and privacy of 6 G and vehicle networks. In this article, we propose a novel IoV block-streaming service awareness and trusted verification in 6 G. The edge node uploads the microservices and calling diagram of microservices to the blockchain network. The blockchain network serves as an intermediate verification platform for the edge node and the IoV equipment to record the evidence of interaction between the two ends. Moreover, combined with identity-based blind signature technology, we have designed a security scheme in which IoV devices anonymously request services from edge nodes, which can realize the mutual authentication of IoV devices and edge servers while keeping the user's real identity information confidential. In addition, an edge caching mechanism based on user requests and service awareness is designed to pre-compile services at edge nodes, improve the cache hit rate of service requests from vehicle users on the edge server, and achieve efficient processing of resource requests from users.
