Abstract

The vehicular reputation management scheme based on blockchain has been studied with the rapidly development of blockchain technology. Existing works mainly focus on provisioning the security of the reputation management scheme by using the blockchain technology. However, the broadcast latency of blocks and the throughput capacity of the blockchain also have significant impacts on the performance of the reputation management scheme. This paper proposes a hierarchical blockchain based reputation management scheme in vehicular networks. Our hierarchical blockchain architecture assures that each vehicle can obtain the latest reputation value of any neighboring vehicle in a short time. Moreover, our designed blockchain structure aims at reducing the confirmation time of reputation values and increasing the capacity of blockchain. We finally conduct simulation experiments to compare our proposed scheme with the existing schemes.
