The blockchain has emerged as an innovative and powerful technology that shows the tremendous potential to enhance the smart industrial frameworks by providing encryption, immutable storage, and decentralization. In the past few years, several applications in the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) have emerged and blockchain technologies gained great attention from academia and industry. To discover the great potential of blockchain technology for the IIoT, we present a comprehensive survey on security issues, blockchain architectures, and applications from the industrial perspective. This article starts with a comparison of exiting state‐of‐the‐art surveys of blockchain technologies for IoT/IIoT applications. A four‐layer reference architecture of IIoT is presented along with the functionalities and security issues of each layer. To address these challenges, we assess the potential of blockchain technology by considering the key characteristics, architectures, consensus algorithms, and implementation platforms. Furthermore, we also discussed some use cases of blockchain for the IIoT frameworks. Finally, this survey is concluded by highlighting some open issues and future research directions.

“…Although blockchain technologies use a number of safeguards to protect transaction confidentiality, they are not infallible. For example, Bitcoin transactions use IP addresses to mask user identities, thereby offering some anonymity [22]. These precautions, however, are not always successful since transaction patterns can disclose user identities [23].…”

“…The resource-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) consensus algorithm used in blockchain technology may not be appropriate for low-energy IIoT nodes [28]. The deployment of blockchain data across IIoT nodes is complicated by its large size since these nodes frequently function in environments with erratic network connections [22].…”

In the rapidly evolving realm of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), securing shop floor operations, especially in audit processes, is of critical importance. This paper confronts the challenge of ensuring data integrity and trust in IIoT systems by leveraging the capabilities of blockchain technology. The unique characteristics of blockchain, such as its immutable and decentralized ledger, establish a solid and transparent foundation for verifying shop floor transactions and activities. We introduce a privacy-centric approach, meticulously designed to comply with stringent data privacy regulations. This method allows auditors to authenticate both IIoT data and devices, ensuring confidentiality and adhering to regulatory standards. Our practical implementation strategy, tailored for shop floor environments, not only enhances the security of device and data integrity but also showcases robustness against specific adversarial threats, including network intrusion, data tampering, and unauthorized access. The findings indicate that our approach not only amplifies security protocols but also integrates effortlessly with existing IIoT infrastructures. It presents an efficient, scalable solution that elevates the safety and reliability of IIoT ecosystems, making it a significant step forward in the quest for secure and compliant industrial operations.
