An improved pbft consensus method suitable for the Internet of Vehicles environment

Abstract

The invention relates to an improved PBFT consensus method suitable for the Internet of Vehicles environment. Node identities are divided into four types, and node identities are processed in combination with a node identity verification and change mechanism; the node credit reward and punishment mechanism is adopted and GMM clustering is used to distinguish the nodes into According to the different grades, the node rights are given according to the grade; the number of different types of nodes in each area and the credit grade are combined to determine the candidate nodes of the area, and the voting of different weights is carried out according to the node type to determine the representative nodes of the area, and the unsuccessful nodes form the standby area representative nodes; The scope determines the multi-regional or intra-regional consensus mechanism. The intra-regional consensus mechanism randomly selects the master node from the nodes with the highest credit rating in the region; the multi-region consensus mechanism is composed of multiple regional representative nodes. The master node group competes to build blocks, and the execution is simplified and consistent Sexual agreement reached a consensus. The invention can tolerate a certain number of malicious node intrusion attacks, effectively eliminate malicious nodes and reduce transaction delay.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the field of block chains, in particular to an improved PBFT consensus method suitable for the environment of the Internet of Vehicles. Background technique: [0002] At present, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation has flourished in the automotive industry, and vehicles with Internet of Vehicles (Intelligent Connected Vehicles, etc.) have become the strategic direction and inevitable trend of development. According to Boston Consulting Group estimates, from 2018, ICVs will usher in a rapid development period of about 20 years. By 2035, ICVs will account for about 25% of the global new car market, with annual sales exceeding 30 million. Vehicles, the industry scale is expected to be 294 billion to 539 billion yuan. [0003] Information security is one of the core technologies of the Internet of Vehicles, which plays a fundamental role in protecting intelligent networked vehicles, ensuring inte...

Problems solved by technology

Although the above method uses methods such as partitioning and sharding to improve the scalability of the original mechanism to a certain extent, it does not take into account the problems of unreasonable setting of regional representatives or theft of node identities caused by a large number of mobile nodes in the network.

[0006] In order to solve the problem of poor flexibility of PBFT’s checkpoint protocol and view switching protocol, some scholars improved PBFT by modifying operating conditions and other methods: such as Huang Qiubo et al. improved the checkpoint protocol and view switching protocol, to a certain extent The ability of the original mechanism in terms of node storage and error handling has been improved, but it does not consider scalability issues, so it cannot be directly applied to the Internet of Vehicles environment with many nodes

[0007] In short, the current PBFT methods are too simple to divide the credit level, and the designated master node will become a new intrusion target, and the movement of the node is not considered, and some even ignore the checkpoint protocol and view. The problem of poor scalability in the switching protocol, the existing methods are difficult to directly apply to the Internet of Vehicles environment
