• Abstract: This letter presents a blockchain-based multi-path mobile access point (MAP) selection strategy for secure 5G vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs). The proposed method leverages blockchain technology for decentralized, transparent, and secure MAP selection, while the multi-path transmission strategy enhances network reliability and reduces communication delays. A trust-based attack detection mechanism is integrated to ensure network security. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm reduces both handover frequency and average communication delay by over 80%, and successfully identifies and excludes more than 95% of Sybil nodes, ensuring reliable and secure communication in highly dynamic vehicular environments.
