Most current research on decentralized IoT applications focuses on a specific vulnerability. However, for IoT applications, only a limited number of techniques are dedicated to handling privacy and trust concerns. To address that, blockchain-based solutions that improve the quality of IoT networks are becoming increasingly used. In the context of IoT security, a blockchain-based authentication framework could be used to store and verify the identities of devices in a decentralized manner, allowing them to communicate with each other and with external systems in a secure and trust-less manner. The main issues in the existing blockchain-based IoT system are the complexity and storage overhead. To solve these research issues, we have proposed a unique approach for a massive IoT system based on a permissions-based blockchain that provides data storage optimization and a lightweight authentication mechanism to the users. The proposed method can provide a solution to most of the applications which rely on blockchain technology, especially in assisting with scalability and optimized storage. Additionally, for the first time, we have integrated homomorphic encryption to encrypt the IoT data at the user’s end and upload it to the cloud. The proposed method is compared with other benchmark frameworks based on extensive simulation results. Our research contributes by designing a novel IoT approach based on a trust-aware security approach that increases security and privacy while connecting outstanding IoT services.

The increasing utilization of IoT technology in various fields creates opportunities and risks for investigating all cybercrimes. At the same time, many research studies have concentrated on security and forensic investigations to collect digital evidence on IoT devices. However, until now, the IoT platform has not fully evolved to adjust the tools, methods, and procedures of IoT forensic investigations. The main reasons for investigators are the characteristics and infrastructure of IoT devices. For example, device number variations, heterogeneity, distribution of protocols used, data duplication, complexity, limited memory, etc. As a result, resulting is a tough challenge to identify, collect, examine, analyze, and present potential IoT digital evidence for forensic investigative processes effectively and efficiently. Indeed, there is not fully used and adapted international standard for the perfect IoT forensic investigation framework. In the research method, a literature review has been carried out by producing previous research studies that have contributed to further facing challenges. To keep the quality of the literature review, research questions (RQ) were conducted for all studies related to the IoT forensic investigation framework between 2015-2022. This research results highlight and provides a comprehensive overview of the twenty current IoT forensic investigation framework that has been proposed. Then, a summary or contribution is presented focusing on the latest research, grouping the forensic phases, and evaluating essential frameworks in the IoT forensic investigation process to obtain digital evidence. Finally, open research issues are presented for further research in developing IoT forensic investigative framework.

“…(1) miners decode the digital signature using the sender's public key, resulting in a decrypted hash value; (2) the miners use the same hash function to generate a new hash value from the received address; (3) if the current hash value meets the decrypted hash value, the transaction has not been tampered with, and the integrity, verification, and non-repudiation requirements have been met; (4) each miner creates a block of authenticated transactions, and that the validation process is accordingly finished [21,34].…”

The Internet of things model enables a world in which all of our everyday devices can be integrated and communicate with each other and their surroundings to gather and share data and simplify task implementation. Such an Internet of things environment would require seamless authentication, data protection, stability, attack resistance, ease of deployment, and self-maintenance, among other things. Blockchain, a technology that was born with the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, may fulfill Internet of things requirements. However, due to the characteristics of both Internet of things devices and Blockchain technology, integrating Blockchain and the Internet of things can cause several challenges. Despite a large number of papers that have been published in the field of Blockchain and the Internet of things, the problems of this combination remain unclear and scattered. Accordingly, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive survey of the challenges related to Blockchain–Internet of things integration by evaluating the related peer-reviewed literature. The paper also discusses some of the recommendations for reducing the effects of these challenges. Moreover, the paper discusses some of the unsolved concerns that must be addressed before the next generation of integrated Blockchain–Internet of things applications can be deployed. Lastly, future trends in the context of Blockchain–Internet of things integration are discussed.
