DECEPTWIN: proactive security approach for IoV by leveraging deception-based digital twins and blockchain

The proliferation of security threats in connected systems necessitates innovative approaches to enhance security resilience. The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) presents a rapidly evolving and interconnected ecosystem that raises unprecedented security challenges, including remote hijacking, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Digital Twin (DT) and blockchain-based deception can emerge as a promising approach to enhance the security of the IoV ecosystem by creating a secure, realistic, dynamic, and interactive deceptive environment that can deceive and disrupt malicious actors. In accordance with this, we propose a proactive security approach for IoV by leveraging DECEPtion-based digiTal tWins and blockchaIN (DECEPTWIN) that entails hunting for security threats and gaps in IoV security posture before an incident or breach occurs.
