@article { , title = {DeliveryCoin: An IDS and Blockchain-Based Delivery Framework for Drone-Delivered Services}, abstract = {In this paper, we propose an intrusion detection system (IDS) and Blockchain-based delivery framework, called DeliveryCoin, for drone-delivered services. The DeliveryCoin framework consists of four phases, including system initialization phase, creating the block, updating the blockchain, and intrusion detection phase. To achieve privacy-preservation, the DeliveryCoin framework employs hash functions and short signatures without random oracles and the Strong Diffie–Hellman (SDH) assumption in bilinear groups. To achieve consensus inside the blockchain-based delivery platform, we introduce a UAV-aided forwarding mechanism, named pBFTF. We also propose an IDS system in each macro eNB (5G) for detecting self-driving network attacks as well as false transactions between self-driving nodes. Furthermore, extensive simulations are conducted, and results confirm the efficiency of our proposed DeliveryCoin framework in terms of latency of blockchain consensus and accuracy.}, doi = {10.3390/computers8030058}, issue = {3}, journal = {Computers}, publicationstatus = {Published}, publisher = {MDPI}, url = {http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/Output/2969612}, volume = {8}, keyword = {blockchain, unmanned aerial vehicle, drone-delivered services, security, IDS}, year = {2024}, author = {Ferrag, Mohamed Amine and Maglaras, Leandros} }
