The smart mobile Internet-of-things (IoT) network lays the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution, the era of hyperconnectivity, hyperintelligence, and hyperconvergence. As this revolution gains momentum, the security of smart mobile IoT networks becomes an essential research topic. This study aimed to provide comprehensive insights on IoT security. To this end, we conducted a systematic mapping study of the literature to identify evolving trends in IoT security and determine research subjects. We reviewed the literature from January 2009 to August 2020 to identify influential researchers and trends of keywords. We additionally performed structural topic modeling to identify current research topics and the most promising ones via topic trend estimation. We synthesized and interpreted the results of the systematic mapping study to devise future research directions. The results obtained from this study are useful to understand current trends in IoT security and provide insights into research and development of IoT security.

“…Moreover, it should be noted that most of research proposals focus on authentication and key management aspects. While both are essential to guarantee a secure integration of LPWAN technologies, it is expected an increase of research proposals in the coming years to address other security issues, such as trust management, access control, intrusion detection and privacy [13]. This will require the integration of emerging technologies, such as the use of machine learning techniques [113] to build effective systems for detecting and mitigating security threats in 5G scenarios, or distributed ledger technologies, e.g., blockchain, to foster a more trustworthy integration of end devices.…”

The convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G will open a range of opportunities for the deployment of enhanced sensing, actuating and interactive systems as well as the development of novel services and applications in a plethora of fields. Given the processing and communication limitations of both IoT devices and the most novel IoT transmission technologies, namely, Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), there are notable concerns regarding certain security issues to be overcome in order to achieve a successful integration of LPWAN systems within 5G architectures. In this survey work, we analyze the main security characteristics of LPWANs, specially focusing on network access, and contrast them with 5G security requirements and procedures. Besides, we present a comprehensive review and analysis of research works proposing security solutions for the 5G-LPWAN integration. Finally, we explore open issues and challenges in the field and draw future research directions. From our analysis, it is evident that many efforts are being devoted from the academia, industry and Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) for achieving the desired confluence of IoT and 5G worlds. We envision a successful integration of both ecosystems by exploiting novel lightweight security schemes addressing the stringent security requirements of 5G while being assumable by constrained IoT devices.

The fifth-generation (5G) network assimilates terahertz bandwidth and machine type communication (MTC) for swift and reliable data transfer and information exchange. It incorporates sophisticated cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), and other software-defined architectures for providing scalable service support. However, due to the heterogeneous integration of devices and architectures, secure infrastructures needto become mandatory. In this article, a Blockchain-based Versatile Security Framework (BVSF) is introduced to provide robust and adaptable authentication and access control in the 5G environment. The proposed framework allocates blocks for user equipment (UE) authentication and resource access control in a parallel manner. The verification of security level between resources, infrastructures, and UEs aids in extending or attenuating blockchain services. Based on the different security level assessments, the UE requests are precisely mapped or reallocated to the resources, improving the response rate and the framework adaptability.
