Performance Evaluation of a Multi Organizations Secure Internet of Vehicles Based on Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain Platform

Abstract

The Internet of Vehicles, a new paradigm, is being incorporated into vehicular networks (IoV). IoV should enable heterogeneous access technologies for vehicle-to-environment communication. Security, privacy, cooperation, and the development of trust in-vehicle networks need to be considered for it to become a reality. Popular distributed ledger technology like blockchain might help with these issues. In this research, data transfer security has been achieved using a permission Hyperledger fabric. Two scenarios involving one organization and two organization models have been examined. The performance assessment in terms of throughput and average latency has been proposed for both cases. The results show that as the number of vehicles increases, the throughput drops and increases average delay. Also, the results show that in the two-organization model, the throughput is decreased slightly compared to one organization, while the latency is almost the same in both models.
