Guest Editors' Introduction
" Toward Privacy Preserving Federated Learning in
Internet of Vehicular Things: Challenges and Future
Directions. " This article studies to figure out the
potential of the federated learning (FL) approach in
developing efficient decentralized solutions that
consider the security and privacy concerns of the
IoVT system. Furthermore, the authors introduce a
federated graph convolutional recurrent network
to learn spatial-temporal information for traffic flow
forecasting.
The article titled " Secure, Privacy Preserving
andVerifiable Federating Learning UsingBlockchain
for InternetofVehicles, " byB.Ghimire andD.B.
Rawat, presents a practical prospect of blockchain
empowered FL to realize fully secure, privacy preserving,
and verifiable FL for the IoV that is capable
of providing secure and trustworthy ITS services.
In " BIIoVT: Blockchain-Based Secure Storage
Architecture for Intelligent Internet of Vehicular
Things, " S. K. Singh et al. propose a blockchainbased
secure storage architecture for IIVoT tomitigate
the issues related to security and privacy. The
authors validate the results of their proposed architecture
and show an outstanding balance of secure
storage and efficiency for the IoVT compared to
the similar existing methods.
The article titled " Intrusion Detection System
Based Security Mechanism for Vehicular Ad-Hoc
Networks for Industrial IoT, " by S. Singh et al.,
presents a study on various challenges and problems
associated with intrusion detection system
(IDS) usage in VANETs. The authors also present
a novel proposal on the use of a honeypot along
with the existing IDS for VANETs to enhance the
detection capabilities of IDS such that they can
detect both the existing as well as zero-day
based unknown attacks.
We close this Special Section with the article
titled " On the Role of Futuristic Technologies in
Securing UAV-Supported Autonomous Vehicles, "
by M. Aloqaily et al., focuses on the role of futuristic
technologies in securing unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAV) and autonomous vehicle (AV)
technologies. Specifically, the authors discuss
the role of blockchain and AI in providing security
to the integrated UAV-AV.
We are thankful to the authors for their excellent
contributions to this Special Section. We
would like to deliver our appreciation to all the
reviewers for dedicating their efforts to reviewing
40
the articles, and for their valuable comments and
suggestions that significantly improve the quality
of the articles. Also, we would like to express our
sincere gratitude to the earlier Editor-in-Chief,
Prof. Saraju P. Mohanty, and the present Editorin-Chief,
Assoc. Prof. Norbert Herencsar, for providing
this opportunity and their important guidance
throughout the process. We hope that this
Special Section will serve as a good reference for
the research works and scientists from academia
and industry in the field of STP for Intelligent
Internet of Vehicular Things.
