Intrusion Detection in Intelligent Transportation System and its Applications using Blockchain Technology
A. Mohan Krishna, Amit Kumar Tyagi
Abstract
Privacy and Trust are critical issues in automation systems/ transportation systems. Today’s Vehicle is need of everyone for moving one place to another. Together this, data security plays an important role in automation systems as critical user’s (vehicle’s user) data is moved to another user though internet with the help of wireless devices and routes which includes optical fiber, radio channels, etc. In fact, each and every device is connected to the internet and is linked to each other, thus forming the Internet of Things (IoT). As the network is moving towards wireless applications, many threats to vehicles (autonomous vehicles) are becoming a critical problem for vehicles users and service providers. A majority of these attacks can be spotted and detected with the hep of a number of intrusion detection techniques which were elucidated in the earlier decade. These techniques are highly efficient in the identification of any form of individual breaches into the system by catching hold of invalid data access. A few of the systems which need safety are an integral part of Wireless Networks which consist of WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks), WPANs (Wireless Personal Area Networks), etc. WPAN family further constitutes of three networks which are WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks), mobile phones and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification like On Board Units (OBUs)). Since digitization is taking place in each and every sector, i.e., defence, healthcare, education, automation industries etc., and so the threat to data also exist. In this article, we protect IoT based environment based smart/ Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) using a novel concept “Blockchain Technology”. With proposing novel solution called ‘’PChain using Blockchain Technology (BT), we received many benefit in ITS’s applications. We discuss several open issues and challenges for the respective technology in near future (or next decade).
