AI-Powered Blockchain - A Decentralized Secure Multiparty Computation Protocol for IoV

Abstract

The rapid advancements in autonomous technologies have paved way for vehicular networks. In particular, Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) forms the basis of the future of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). ITS represents the communication among vehicles by acquiring and sharing the data. Though congestion control is enhanced by Internet of Vehicles (IoV), there are various security criteria where entire communication can lead to many security and privacy challenges. A blockchain can be deployed to provide the IoV devices with the necessary authentication and security feature for the transfer of data. Blockchain based IoV mechanism eliminates the single source of failure and remains secure at base despite having strong security, the higher level layers and applications are susceptible to attacks. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to overcome several vulnerabilities of current blockchain technology. In this paper, we propose an AI-Powered Blockchain which provides auto coding feature for the smart contracts making it an intelligent contract. Moreover, it speeds up the transaction verification and optimises energy consumption. The results show that intelligent contracts provide higher security compared to smart contracts considering range of different scenarios.

Recent Advances in Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence Integration: Feasibility Analysis, Research Issues, Applications, Challenges, and Future Work

“…As far as the security of smart contracts is concerned, some work has been done. Raja et al [39] have used artificial intelligence technology to automatically generate smart contracts, so as to reduce the vulnerability of smart contracts as much as possible. Furthermore, data mining and other technologies are used to analyze the vulnerabilities of the smart contract, and big data analysis is used to check malicious vulnerabilities to avoid economic losses caused by hackers.…”

Blockchain for Smart Mobility—Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

“…The authors, for example, mention vehicle insurance applications or the automized payment of vehicle taxes [73]. Reference [84] furthermore recommends the supplementary use of AI to support the use of blockchain in the VANET context. The authors believe AI can be used to make smart contracts intelligent, to verify transactions, and to reduce the blockchain's energy consumption [84].…”

The authors believe AI can be used to make smart contracts intelligent, to verify transactions, and to reduce the blockchain's energy consumption [84]. This is in line with recent research in information systems and computer science that propose the use of AI for intelligent smart contracts [112,113], to predict a blockchain's Vehicular networks, also referred to as vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs), are a component of an ITS and can be defined as a self-organized network in that vehicles can communicate with each other (vehicle-to-vehicle, V2V) and with the infrastructure (vehicleto-Infrastructure, V2I) [109].…”

A survey: Making “Smart Contracts” really smart

“…According to the study of Raja et al, AI-supported contracts are safer than conventional contracts. 106 Nassar et al, 107 also used AI technology to ensure security by eliminating oracle problems.…”
