Latest Patents

Liu is credited with 1 patent: “Blockchain-Based Anonymous Authentication Method for Cross-Trusted Authority in Internet of Vehicles.” The invention describes registering vehicles and roadside units with their respective trusted authorities. When a vehicle enters a different authority domain, its onboard unit and the roadside unit generate authentication parameters and submit them to an Internet of Vehicles consortium blockchain for verification and signing. After receiving and verifying the blockchain-authenticated data, the onboard unit calculates a session key and uses it to communicate with the roadside unit and the blockchain. The method is designed to let vehicles and roadside units associated with different trusted authorities authenticate one another and negotiate session keys.
