Abstract

With the development of vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) technology, more and more smart parking systems in VANETs are presented. However, existing solutions suffer from the challenges of dishonest parking lots that may claim there are more empty spots than they actually have, malicious occupation of parking spots and multi-reservation attack, etc. To address these challenges, we propose a secure and reliable smart parking protocol based on blockchain and linkable group signatures. For the security of our scheme, it not only realizes traditional authentication, privacy preservation and message confidentiality requirements but also prevents multi-reservation attack and the dishonest parking lots that claim more empty spots than they actually have.
