【Abstract】The advancements in telecommunications are significantly benefiting the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) in various ways. Minimal latency, faster data transfer, and reduced costs are transforming the landscape of IoV. While these advantages accompany the latest improvements, they also expand cyberspace, leading to security and privacy concerns. Vehicles rely on trusted authorities for registration and authentication processes, resulting in bottleneck issues and communication delays. Moreover, the central trusted authority and intermediate nodes raise doubts regarding transparency, traceability, and anonymity. This paper proposes a novel vehicle authentication handover framework leveraging blockchain, IPFS, and hybrid computing. The framework uses a Proof of Reputation (PoR) consensus mechanism to improve transparency and traceability and the Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) cryptosystem to reduce computational delays. The suggested system assures data availability, secrecy, and integrity while maintaining minimal latency throughout the vehicle re-authentication. Performance evaluations show the system's scalability, with creating keys, encoding, decoding, and registration operations done rapidly. Simulation is performed using SUMO to handle vehicle mobility in an IoV environment. The findings demonstrate the practicality of the proposed framework in vehicular networks, providing a reliable and trustworthy approach for IoV communication.
