Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) will carry a large amount of security and privacy-related data, which makes the secure communication between the IoV terminals increasingly critical. This paper studies the joint beamforming for physical-layer security transmission in the coexistence of Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication with Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) assistance, taking into account hardware impairments. A communication model for physical-layer security transmission is established when the eavesdropping user is present and the base station antenna has hardware impairments assisted by RIS. Based on this model, we propose to maximize the V2I physical-layer security… More >

Abstract With the rapid advancement of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology, the demands for real-time navigation, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communications, and multimedia entertainment systems have made in-vehicle applications increasingly computing-intensive and delay-sensitive. These applications require significant computing resources, which can overwhelm the limited computing capabilities of vehicle terminals despite advancements in computing hardware due to the complexity of tasks, energy consumption, and cost constraints. To address this issue in IoV-based edge computing, particularly in scenarios where available computing resources in vehicles are scarce, a multi-master and multi-slave double-layer game model More >

Abstract The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly propelled the advancement of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). With AI support, represented by machine learning technology, vehicles gain the capability to make intelligent decisions. As a distributed learning paradigm, federated learning (FL) has emerged as a preferred solution in IoV. Compared to traditional centralized machine learning, FL reduces communication overhead and improves privacy protection. Despite these benefits, FL still faces some security and privacy concerns, such as poisoning attacks and inference attacks, prompting exploration into blockchain integration to enhance its security posture.

Abstract As an important application of intelligent transportation system, Internet of Vehicles (IoV) provides great convenience for users. Users can obtain real-time traffic conditions through the IoV’s services, plan users' travel routes, and improve travel efficiency. However, in the IoV system, there are always malicious vehicle nodes publishing false information. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the legitimacy of the source. In addition, during the peak period of vehicle travel, the vehicle releases a large number of messages, and IoV authentication efficiency is prone to performance bottlenecks. Most existing authentication schemes have the problem of low… More >

Abstract The high performance of IoT technology in transportation networks has led to the increasing adoption of Internet of Vehicles (IoV) technology. The functional advantages of IoV include online communication services, accident prevention, cost reduction, and enhanced traffic regularity. Despite these benefits, IoV technology is susceptible to cyber-attacks, which can exploit vulnerabilities in the vehicle network, leading to perturbations, disturbances, non-recognition of traffic signs, accidents, and vehicle immobilization.

Abstract The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is extensively deployed in outdoor and open environments to effectively address traffic efficiency and safety issues by connecting vehicles to the network. However, due to the open and variable nature of its network topology, vehicles frequently engage in cross-domain interactions. During such processes, directly uploading sensitive information to roadside units for interaction may expose it to malicious tampering or interception by attackers, thus compromising the security of the cross-domain authentication process. Additionally, IoV imposes high real-time requirements, and existing cross-domain authentication schemes for IoV often encounter efficiency issues. To mitigate More >

Abstract The blockchain-empowered Internet of Vehicles (IoV) enables various services and achieves data security and privacy, significantly advancing modern vehicle systems. However, the increased frequency of data transmission and complex network connections among nodes also make them more susceptible to adversarial attacks. As a result, an efficient intrusion detection system (IDS) becomes crucial for securing the IoV environment. Existing IDSs based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) often suffer from high training time and storage requirements. In this paper, we propose a lightweight IDS solution to protect IoV against both intra-vehicle and external threats. Our approach achieves More >

Abstract Wireless technology is transforming the future of transportation through the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). However, intricate security challenges are intertwined with technological progress: Vehicular ad hoc Networks (VANETs), a core component of IoV, face security issues, particularly the Black Hole Attack (BHA). This malicious attack disrupts the seamless flow of data and threatens the network’s overall reliability; also, BHA strategically disrupts communication pathways by dropping data packets from legitimate nodes altogether. Recognizing the importance of this challenge, we have introduced a new solution called ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector-Reputation-based mechanism Local Outlier… More >
