Description
Summary:With the rapid development of communication technologies, the demand for security and automation of driving has promoted the development of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). The IoV aims to provide users with a safer, more comfortable, and more efficient driving experience. However, the current IoV also faces a series of potential security risks and privacy breaches, which has further propelled research on trust management for vehicular networks. The introduction of the blockchain has resolved the issue of data security in IoV trust management. However, the blockchain is limited by its own performance and scalability, making it unsuitable for large-scale networks. In order to enhance the transaction-processing efficiency of blockchain-based trust management solutions and address their scalability limitations, this paper presents a graph partition-based blockchain-sharding protocol. Simulation results on real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed scheme exhibits better scalability compared to existing blockchain-based approaches and can accommodate larger-scale device access.
