“…Thirdly, research should be conducted to propose mechanisms that will allow the user to assign or revoke contextual authorizations on the fly. Then, the availability of these tokens to the receiving entities could be carried out safely and in a distributed manner using distributed registers such as the blockchain (Dorri et al, 2017;Alkurdi et al, 2018;Zheng et al, 2018;junaid jami Gul et al, 2019;Paillisse et al, 2019). Indeed, the blockchain will allow the user to remain anonymous while ensuring the confidence that only the entities for which the tokens are intended will be able to use them.…”

Internet of Things applications encompass home-automation, health, transportation, etc. The main objective of these applications is to improve user's daily lives. However, security and privacy threats and the lack of adapted security mechanisms could significantly reduce their development and slow-down their adoption. Several researches have been conducted in order to find solutions for securing the IoT systems and to reduce, even eliminate risks for user's privacy. One of the proposed solutions is context-aware security, which enables to consider relevant contextual information while implementing security mechanisms. In this paper, we will conduct a survey of the context-aware security solutions that have been proposed for smart city IoT applications. These applications have a great impact on citizens life. For each solution, we will provide critical analysis in terms of context-aware management, security services and privacy mechanisms. Then, we will identify the different research directions for better context-aware security in these applications.

“…Paillisse et al implement and evaluate a three-layer architecture in Reference [110], which supports distributed access control based on permissioned blockchain in cross-domain communications. Private blockchains and BFT protocols are applied to this structure, so moderate storage space can be used to store thousands of access strategies.…”

The paths leading to future networks are pointing towards a data-driven paradigm to better cater to the explosive growth of mobile services as well as the increasing heterogeneity of mobile devices, many of which generate and consume large volumes and variety of data. These paths are also hampered by significant challenges in terms of security, privacy, services provisioning, and network management. Blockchain, which is a technology for building distributed ledgers that provide an immutable log of transactions recorded in a distributed network, has become prominent recently as the underlying technology of cryptocurrencies and is revolutionizing data storage and processing in computer network systems. For future data-driven networks (DDNs), blockchain is considered as a promising solution to enable the secure storage, sharing, and analytics of data, privacy protection for users, robust, trustworthy network control, and decentralized routing and resource managements. However, many important challenges and open issues remain to be addressed before blockchain can be deployed widely to enable future DDNs. In this article, we present a survey on the existing research works on the application of blockchain technologies in computer networks and identify challenges and potential solutions in the applications of blockchains in future DDNs. We identify application scenarios in which future blockchain-empowered DDNs could improve the efficiency and security, and generally the effectiveness of network services.

“…Current solutions for managing access control in multi administrative domains are not efficient. Based on Paillisse et al [40] static approaches are not scalable and granular and PKI-based systems are difficult to manage. They suggest distributing and recording access policies in a permissioned blockchain.…”

Access control is a mechanism in computer security that regulates access to the system resources. The current access control systems face many problems, such as the presence of the third-party, inefficiency, and lack of privacy. These problems can be addressed by blockchain, the technology that received major attention in recent years and has many potentials. In this study, we overview the problems of the current access control systems, and then, we explain how blockchain can help to solve them. We also present an overview of access control studies and proposed platforms in the different domains. This paper presents the state of the art and the challenges of blockchain-based access control systems.
