Description
This work focuses on the integration of blockchain for enhancing the security, privacy, and trust management within Vehicle Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs). In the context of smart transportation, VANETs offer essential safety but the open and dynamic nature of these networks makes secure, anonymous authentication a major challenge. Blockchain's decentralized nature can provide a secure, tamper- resistant ledger for managing data across the network nodes, helping address these security concerns. Cross- chain bridges enable the transfer of data, money and assets across blockchains. It has thus become important to enhance existing authentication mechanisms in blockchain bridges. In this research, we analyze existing authentication approaches, highlighting their limitations, such as reliance on centralized entities, private key leaks and weakness in smart contract functions. We then propose a novel approach to strengthen existing authentication mechanisms with the combined capabilities of Smart Contracts and Polynomial Interpolation, to establish a secure authentication layer. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
