UTILIZATION OF BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR ENABLING SECURE DATA EXCHANGE IN AUTOMOTIVE INTERNET OF THINGS ECOSYSTEMS

The rapid adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the automotive industry has revolutionized vehicle communication and connectivity. However, secure data exchange remains a significant challenge due to vulnerabilities in centralized systems. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized and tamper-proof approach to enhance security, transparency, and trust. This paper explores the integration of blockchain technology into automotive IoT ecosystems, focusing on its potential to ensure secure data exchange, improve system reliability, and mitigate risks. Various blockchain frameworks and real-world applications are also analyzed.
