Due to its large network scale, open communication environment, unstable wireless network, and other characteristics, it is extremely vulnerable to attacks and causes security problems, resulting in the collapse of the Internet of Vehicles system. The application of the Internet of Vehicles is becoming more and more extensive, but there are still problems such as information security and privacy leakage in the Internet of Vehicles. Through the analysis of the security threats and privacy protection requirements faced by the Internet of Vehicles system, this paper mainly studies information security, vehicle identity privacy, and location privacy in the process of Internet of Vehicles wireless communication. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct research on the information security and privacy protection issues of the Internet of Vehicles. This paper discusses the research on the security and privacy protection of the consensus algorithm for the Internet of Vehicles based on wireless sensors, compares and analyzes the wireless sensor data privacy protection protocols based on sharding technology, Tongtai encryption technology, and perturbation technology, and selects an optimized Kalman consensus filter. The algorithm is applied to the node information exchange of the sensor network, and two filters (low pass and band pass) are used to unify the observations and covariance of the network. Estimation of the sensor network state with and without data packet loss, the effect of system estimation error under different packet loss rates, data privacy protection algorithm performance, vehicle network data communication volume, and confusion factors on algorithm efficiency and the node energy consumption was compared and analyzed. Based on the application of wireless sensors, the estimation error and inconsistency estimation error of the algorithm in this paper finally converge to about 0.5, and both can maintain good stability and have good robustness. In addition, the communication volume of the algorithm in this paper is about 30% of the SCPDA algorithm. The Kalman consensus filtering algorithm reduces the amount of confusing data sent, improves privacy protection, and also achieves lower communication overhead.
