Abstract
Examples described herein relate to a system including a BC network associated with a plurality of entities in a defined geographic scope. A first entity of the plurality of entities includes a connected vehicle that generates vehicular data. The BC network is governed by a smart contract. The smart contract includes a data sharing policy defined by a user of the connected vehicle, wherein the data sharing policy allows the user of the connected vehicle to selectively share the vehicular data with one or more other entities of the plurality of entities.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a blockchain network associated with a plurality of entities in a defined geographic scope, wherein a first entity of the plurality of entities comprises a connected vehicle that generates vehicular data, and
- wherein the blockchain network comprises:
- a smart contract comprising:
- a data sharing policy defined by a user of the connected vehicle, and
- an access policy defining terms for access of the blockchain network;
- and
- a management system comprising a hardware processor and a non-transitory storage medium comprising instructions executable on the hardware processor to:
- register the connected vehicle with the blockchain network according to the access policy,
- receive the vehicular data from the connected vehicle,
- identify the data sharing policy based on an identifier of the connected vehicle,
- based on the identification of the data sharing policy, determine whether the connected vehicle and a second entity of the plurality of entities are located in a localized geographic region according to the defined geographic scope,
- selectively share, by executing the smart contract, a portion of the vehicular data with the second entity based on determining that the connected vehicle and the second entity are located in the localized geographic region, wherein the selective sharing of the portion of the vehicular data provides a secure and autonomous communication of the portion of the vehicular data over a communication network to protect a security of the vehicular data, and
- record the portion of the vehicular data in a ledger of the blockchain network.
10 more elements
A non-transitory storage medium comprising instructions that upon execution cause a management system of a blockchain network to:
- register a vehicle with the blockchain network according to an access policy of a smart contract of the blockchain network, the access policy defining terms for access of the blockchain network;
- receive, at the management system of the blockchain network, vehicular data from the vehicle that is an entity of a plurality of entities associated with the blockchain network in a defined geographic scope;
- identify a data sharing policy of the smart contract based on an identifier of the vehicle;
- based on the identification of the data sharing policy, determine whether the vehicle and a second entity of the plurality of entities are located in a localized geographic region according to the defined geographic scope;
- selectively share, by executing the smart contract, a portion of the vehicular data with the second entity based on determining that the vehicle and the second entity are located in the localized geographic region, wherein the selective sharing of the portion of the vehicular data provides a secure and autonomous communication of the portion of the vehicular data over a communication network to protect a security of the vehicular data;
- and
- record the portion of the vehicular data in a ledger of the blockchain network.
4 more elements
A method comprising:
- registering, by a management system of a blockchain network, a vehicle with the blockchain network according to an access policy of a smart contract of the blockchain network, the access policy defining terms for access of the blockchain network;
- receiving, at the management system, vehicular data from the vehicle that is an entity of a plurality of entities associated with the blockchain network in a defined geographic scope;
- identifying, by the management system, a data sharing policy of the smart contract based on an identifier of the vehicle;
- based on the identification of the data sharing policy, determining, by the management system, whether the vehicle and a second entity of the plurality of entities are located in a localized geographic region according to the defined geographic scope;
- selectively sharing, by the management system by executing the smart contract, a portion of the vehicular data with the second entity based on determining that the vehicle and the second entity are located in the localized geographic region, wherein the selective sharing of the portion of the vehicular data provides a secure and autonomous communication of the portion of the vehicular data over a communication network to protect a security of the vehicular data;
- and
- recording, by the management system, the portion of the vehicular data in a ledger of the blockchain network.
