Further using smart contracts, blockchain provides an access control scheme for enforcing key management and authentication protocol in energy and information flow in vehicular networking without the need for complex cryptographic primitives. The profile management of car, driver, and vehicular data about the car like vehicular sensor data integrated into the MEC network can be kept using blockchain networks. Thus by using blockchain functionality resource management [36], data sharing [37], or resource allocation [38], the performance of edge computing is improved while guaranteeing security properties of the network. Besides, for MEC- based vehicular networks, blockchain data ledger can also be used for decentralized big data repository platforms like InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) [39], Filecoin, and Storij.

Filecoin is a company working in the same area as Storj [23]. The decentralized storage network of Filecoin was developed based on the combination of blockchain technology and interplanetary file system (IPFS), a distributed web-based file sharing platform [24]. Both Filecoin and Storj build their decentralized cloud platform on distributed disk spaces that are shared among users. Because of this, central failure, as has occurred on the traditional centralized cloud platform, can be prevented.
Self-restrained energy grid with data analysis and blockchain techniques

The Interplanetary File System (IPFS) provides a distributed storage structure. IPFS node served along with the application. Data from the IoT devices passed to that node, and then the data fragmented for distributive storage in the deployed network. Each node in the network can access and as well as host the contents. After storing the data, the IPFS node provides a cryptographic hash to retrieve that data, this unique fingerprint made of the storage location and data itself. Hence, the hash act as an address. IPFS node removes duplication across the network, which supports the effectiveness of application in data handling. Interplanetary Name System hosted with the IPFS enables manual access for the data that is in human-readable names. IPFS delivers the peer-to-peer approach for data transmission, which results in effective communication in the massive volume of data.
