BDA: Blockchain-Based Decentralized Authentication System for Autonomous Vehicle Under Ad-Hoc Network.

Autonomous driving technology has made substantial development in various platforms and fields. However, a single mistake of an autonomous vehicle can lead to a severe accident or a life-threatening event. Protecting autonomous vehicle data must be considered and guarantee real-time data management, robust security systems, and safe communication systems between vehicle nodes. Since these features can be satisfied by blockchain-based algorithms, combining these two big main themes will make a safer and secure connected-vehicle (CV) system. In this paper we propose a decentralized authentication system in order to make a robust and safe autonomous driving environment.
