Blockchain for Security of Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles provides a comprehensive and future-oriented framework for securing next-generation mobility through decentralized technologies. As the transportation ecosystem evolves beyond self-driving vehicles to encompass complex Internet of Drones (IoD) environments and interconnected intelligent mobility infrastructures, the cyberattack surface expands exponentially. This book systematically addresses these emerging vulnerabilities by integrating blockchain foundations with advanced Autonomous Intelligent Vehicle (AIV) architectures and intelligent cyber-physical systems.Readers engage with a wide spectrum of cutting-edge domains, including blockchain integration with multi-agent AI systems, decentralized trust models, and the security challenges of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in trustworthy airspace and IoD operations. The text advances both theory and practice through applied frameworks such as smart contracts for secure autonomous operations and analytical treatment of the blockchain trilemma, balancing security, scalability, and decentralization in vehicular and aerial systems.Bridging theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence, and real-world autonomous mobility engineering, this volume serves as a definitive reference for researchers, industry professionals, system architects, and policymakers seeking to design, govern, and deploy secure, resilient, and trustworthy blockchain-enabled autonomous intelligent systems across the global mobility value chain.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings from the Third International Workshop on Graphical Models for Security, GraMSec 2016, held in Lisbon, Portugal, in June 2016. GraMSec contributes to the development of well-founded graphical security models, efficient algorithms for their analysis, as well as methodologies for their practical usage.
