Cover Story: In this paper, an intrusion detection system (IDS) and Blockchain-based delivery framework, entitled DeliveryCoin, is introduced. The proposed Blockchain-based delivery framework facilitates package delivery among self-driving nodes. In order to achieve privacy preservation, the proposed scheme employs hash functions and short signatures without random oracles and the strong Diffie–Hellman (SDH) assumption in bilinear groups. The article also introduces a novel UAV-aided forwarding mechanism, named pBFTF, that UAVs use in order to achieve consensus inside the Blockchain-based delivery platform. Finally, the article proposes an IDS system in each macro-eNB (5G) for detecting self-driving network attacks as well as false transactions between self-driving nodes. This is the first study that combines Blockchain technology with an IDS system into one architecturally-secure framework for a UAV-based delivery system. View this paper.
