“…Blockchain is the underlying technology for bitcoins; however, it has been foreseen as a distributed ledger that can provide decentralised storage for data generated by IoT devices. Data are stored in a blockchain ledger with high integrity, authenticity, resiliency and trust [116]. All transactions are cryptographically signed by IIoT devices and validated in a decentralised manner without an intermediary.…”

“…Smart contracts are basically codes that are executed by all blockchain miners, and the execution outcome is verified and agreed upon by all mining nodes. Furthermore, given the limited computing, networking and storage capacities of IIoT devices, fog nodes are envisioned to be equipped with cloud and blockchain interfaces in the future to communicate and interface with the cloud environment and the blockchain network [116].…”

Big data production in industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is evident due to the massive deployment of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, big data processing is challenging due to limited computational, networking and storage resources at IoT device-end. Big data analytics (BDA) is expected to provide operational-and customer-level intelligence in IIoT systems. Although numerous studies on IIoT and BDA exist, only a few studies have explored the convergence of the two paradigms. In this study, we investigate the recent BDA technologies, algorithms and techniques that can lead to the development of intelligent IIoT systems. We devise a taxonomy by classifying and categorising the literature on the basis of important parameters (e.g. data sources, analytics tools, analytics techniques, requirements, industrial analytics applications and analytics types). We present the frameworks and case studies of the various enterprises that have benefited from BDA. We also enumerate the considerable opportunities introduced by BDA in IIoT. We identify and discuss the indispensable challenges that remain to be addressed as future research directions as well.

“…In the IoT, the identity authentication of nodes is required to ensure the security and reliability of data transmission, and the combination of blockchain technology can eliminate the need for trusted third parties to participate in authentication. Almadhoun et al [11] proposed a user authentication scheme using blockchain atomized nodes, combined with Ethereum smart contracts to implement blockchain-based large-scale IoT device authentication without the need for an intermediate third party. The fog node is used to reduce the processing load of the IoT device during the authentication process and reduce the overhead of connecting to the Ethereum blockchain network interface.…”

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of IoT devices has increased exponentially. Therefore, we have put forward higher security requirements for the management, transmission, and storage of massive IoT data. However, during the transmission process of IoT data, security issues, such as data theft and forgery, are prone to occur. In addition, most existing data storage solutions are centralized, i.e., data are stored and maintained by a centralized server. Once the server is maliciously attacked, the security of IoT data will be greatly threatened. In view of the above-mentioned security issues, a security transmission and storage solution is proposed about sensing image for blockchain in the IoT. Firstly, this solution intelligently senses user image information, and divides these sensed data into intelligent blocks. Secondly, different blocks of data are encrypted and transmitted securely through intelligent encryption algorithms. Finally, signature verification and storage are performed through an intelligent verification algorithm. Compared with the traditional IoT data transmission and centralized storage solution, our solution combines the IoT with the blockchain, making use of the advantages of blockchain decentralization, high reliability, and low cost to transfer and store users image information securely. Security analysis proves that the solution can resist theft attacks and ensure the security of user image information during transmission and storage.

“…This scheme ensures availability, scalability, decentralization and is tamper proof. However, the main drawback of using Ethereum smart contracts is the Ethereum price fluctuations, which is challenging for the users. Almadhoun et al proposed a user authentication scheme of IoT devices using BC‐enabled fog nodes This scheme is also based on Ethereum's smart contracts. With the help of smart contracts, fog nodes have been used for the authentication of a large scale of IoT devices. Alblooshi et al proposed BC‐based ownership management for medical IoT (MIoT) devices .…”

Blockchain is a key technology that enables cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc. In recent years, researchers have ventured into tapping the potential of blockchain‐based ecosystems beyond cryptocurrencies. This paper explores the convergence of blockchain with the Internet of things (IoT) and its improved versions like software‐defined network (SDN)–based IoT, which are upcoming technologies in the area. This paper gives a brief description of the IoT and its challenges, especially the security aspects. It also discusses how blockchain concept can further resolve these challenges on the SDN‐based IoT platform. This paper first discussed the evolution of conventional IoT to the SDN‐based IoT, which can resolve many drawbacks of a conventional IoT system. Also, it is focused on how the concept of blockchain can be converged with SDN‐based IoT system to further improve its security aspects. Although the convergence of these different technologies has resulted into many advantages, many associated challenges still remain. This paper highlighted these challenges and opportunities to discover many other research issues that need to be resolved. The details of current literature on the same issue has also been highlighted in this paper.
