Abstract

The rapid growth of the automotive industry has raised significant concerns about the security of connected vehicles and their integrated supply chains, which are increasingly vulnerable to advanced cyber threats. Traditional authentication methods have proven insufficient, exposing systems to risks such as Sybil, Denial of Service (DoS), and Eclipse attacks. This study critically examines the limitations of current security protocols, focusing on authentication and data exchange vulnerabilities, and explores blockchain technology as a potential solution. Blockchain’s decentralized and cryptographically secure framework can significantly enhance Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication, ensure data integrity, and enable transparent, immutable transactions within the supply chain. Additionally, blockchain strengthens authentication, secures digital identities, and improves data sharing, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches. Our contribution lies in the proposal to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology to further improve security by refining cryptographic methods, automating key management, and bolstering anomaly detection. Despite challenges related to computational complexity, latency, scalability, and regulatory concerns, the combination of blockchain, AI offers the transformative potential to enhance the security, transparency, and efficiency of connected vehicle systems and their supply chains.
