Modern industry 4.0 applications are shifting towards decentralized automation of computing and cyber-physical systems (CPS), which necessitates building a robust, secure, and efficient system that performs complex interactions with other physical processes. To handle complex interactions in CPS, trust and consensus among various stakeholders is a prime concern. In a similar direction, consensus algorithms in blockchain have evolved over the years that focus on building smart, robust, and secure CPS. Thus, it is imperative to understand the key components, functional characteristics, and architecture of different consensus algorithms used in CPS. Many consensus algorithms exist in the literature with a specified set of functionalities, performance, and computing services. Motivated from these facts, in this survey, we present a comprehensive analysis of existing state-of-the-art consensus mechanisms and highlight their strength and weaknesses in decentralized CPS applications. In the first part, we present the scope of the proposed survey and identify gaps in the existing surveys. Secondly, we present the review method and objectives of the proposed survey based on research questions that address the gaps in existing studies. Then, we present a solution taxonomy of decentralized consensus mechanisms for various CPS applications. Then, open issues and challenges are also discussed in deploying various consensus mechanisms in the CPS with their merits and demerits. The proposed survey will act as a road-map for blockchain developers and researchers to evaluate and design future consensus mechanisms, which helps to build an efficient CPS for industry 4.0 stakeholders.

“…M. Han et al use blockchain to provide proof of achievements for academic transcripts issued by education providers [69]. There is a global trust education framework [70], based on blockchain to verify the academic certificates and course credits of college students. By means of ensuring the consistency between local education certificates and credits, it can ensure a comprehensive understanding about students' performance.…”

A huge amount of data is generated from the interaction of various sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) enabled devices used in various smart industrial applications. This enormous amount of data requires fast processing, huge storage capacity, secure dissemination, and aggregation to make it resistant from the attackers. Secure data dissemination for IoT‐based applications has been a prominent issue in consideration with the heterogeneity in generated data. Existing secure data dissemination schemes are inadequate to handle secure data distribution. Research communities across the globe are focused on the delivery of the data among the sensor nodes and overlook the difficulty of its secure streaming. Hence, there is a need to validate the performance of secure data distribution schemes for IoT networks using relevant parameters. Motivated from the aforementioned facts, in this study, we perform a comprehensive review on the state‐of‐the‐art techniques, which can verify and validate the performance of data dissemination schemes for IoT networks. We present a solution taxonomy of various verification and validation methods along with their merits and demerits. Finally, recent issues and future directions on verification and validation methods for the secure data distribution in an IoT network is presented.
