The rise of Autonomous Vehicles has transformed how we get around, but it's created some serious security headaches too. We need to keep these vehicle networks safe from hackers and unauthorized users. In our research, we've found that blockchain technology could be a game-changer when combined with federated identity management to secure AV systems. Blockchain gives us an unalterable, distributed ledger that maintains data integrity across vehicle networks, while federated identity management offers a streamlined authentication process that doesn't compromise security or privacy. Together, they tackle major problems like data tampering, slow authentication, and vulnerable central points that hackers love to target. We've developed a hybrid approach using blockchain to validate data and federated identity to efficiently authenticate both people and vehicles. Our mathematical models and simulations show this approach significantly outperforms traditional methods in speed, scalability, and resistance to cyberattacks. Not only does our system meet current AV security needs, but it also opens the door for AI-based threat detection in the future. This blockchain-federated identity combination provides the security foundation needed for truly reliable autonomous transportation systems
