Security for the Internet of Vehicles with Integration of Sensing, Communication, Computing, and Intelligence: A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract

Integration of sensing, communication, computing, and intelligence (ISCCI) represents a pivotal advancement in B5G and 6G technologies, offering transformative potential for the Internet of Vehicles (IoV). As IoV systems become increasingly integral to intelligent transportation and autonomous driving, these systems also face escalating security challenges across multiple layers, including physical, network, application, and system dimensions. (1) This paper comprehensively surveys these security issues, systematically analyzing the threats encountered at each layer and proposing targeted countermeasures to mitigate risks. (2) Furthermore, the paper explores future trends in IoV security, emphasizing the roles of 6G networks, blockchain technology, and digital twins in addressing emerging challenges. (3) Finally, based on a comprehensive review of current research and insights, this paper aims to serve as a foundational reference for advancing secure and sustainable IoV ecosystems.
