Blockchain based Competent Consensus Algorithm for Secure Authentication in Vehicular Networks

Vehicular networks are constructed for efficient and secure data flow to make intelligent transportation system. It works by using central storage system which is inefficient as large amount of data is difficult to handle and also becomes the target of malicious activity. The flow of sensitive data on wireless channels for communication of vehicles with other nodes can also be chosen by attackers for attack. These challenges are tackled using blockchain solutions. The blockchain, a farfetched decentralized technology which is undoubtedly going to change overall trends of entire business and professional networking environment in the world to release the burden of centralization on the organizations even on the individuals and several developed countries have started to adopt this trend. This technology would be as dynamic, vibrant, efficient and secure as the category of consensus algorithms is used for the agreement and decision of joining the new block among network nodes. Security and efficiency of vehicular network is maintained through consortium blockchain boasting with Practical Byzantine Fault tolerance (PBFT) algorithm.
