Most IoT devices cannot afford to be a blockchain node due to the high computation and storage loads. Thus, the blockchain is usually deployed on one delegate node, e.g., the edge device or cloud, which may encounters three drawbacks: (1) The delegate node becomes the single failure point when the number of delegate notes are limited. (2) The delegate node replicating the blockchain data can lead to privacy information leak. (3) The delegate node is vulnerable to the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. To tackle these drawbacks, we consider to minimize the redundant of blockchain to make the IoT devices as the specialized blockchain nodes. In this paper, we integrate a permissioned blockchain (HLF), an attribute-based access control (ABAC) and an identity-based signature (IBS) to build a security, lightweight, and cross-domain blockchain-based IoT access control system. Specifically, we divided the IoT system into different function domains, named IoT domains. Then, we establish a local blockchain ledger for each IoT domain to enable more IoT devices as blockchain nodes. The local blockchain ledger records the IoT domain entities' attributes, policy files' digests, and access decisions. Meanwhile, we use the channel technology of HLF to realize cross-domain access and use the IBS to filter the legal access requests for each IoT domain to prevent DDoS attacks. We also design a policy decision point (PDP) selection algorithm that select multiple IoT devices (blockchain nodes) to achieve the real-time distributed policy decisions (off-chain). Finally, we implement and evaluate the proposed system to demonstrate its practicality.

“…Finally, if the connection requestor satisfies the access policy that the owner specified, he will be able access the desired data. Finally, Fabric-iot [45] is another research regarding ABAC in IoT environment. The system contains three kinds of smart contracts, which are Device Contract to provide a method to store the URL of resource data produced by devices, and a method to query it, Policy Contract to manage and store ABAC policies for admin users, and Access Contract as the sore contract to implement an access control method for normal users.…”

As the first step in preserving system security, Authentication and Access Control (AAC) plays a vital role in all businesses. Recently, emerging the blockchain and smart contract technology has attracted significant scientific interest in research areas like authentication and access control processes. In the context of authentication and access control, blockchain can offer greater data and rule confidentiality and integrity, as well as increasing the availability of the system by removing the single point of failure in the procedure. To categorize and find the most important open problems in this research area, having a comprehensive review is crucial. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time in this survey, we aim to describe the current state of the art in deploying blockchain and smart contracts specifically in authentication and access control. Following an introduction to AAC and blockchain technology, we present a brief background of distributed ledger technology, access control and authentication. To offer a clearer understanding of the state of the art, we propose taxonomy to categorize the existing methods based on their type, application environment and their justification for exploiting blockchain. For the conclusion of the paper, we examined the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed method in different contexts like security, resource consumption and privacy. Also we discussed about the future work.

The objective of this research is to present the use of blockchain technology, the internet of things and fog computing to develop the potential of school management for smart education. By using the blockchain to record and store various pieces of information the organization will create credibility of administrative data in all departments and will reduce corruption. Data can be examined transparently, especially the financial and budget management and procurement of durable articles. Regarding the academic work and registration, it can be used to store learners' information, educational history, information of enrollment, academic results, and participation in the various activities of the educational institutions. It can create credibility in the management of information about content, learning and ability assessment results that students receive, and these can be recorded and stored in a blockchain that can be safely distributed. In addition, IoT and fog computing are integrated with AI systems embedded in various modern devices to be applied in environmental management and smart education management. IoT and fog computing help to support and respond quickly to questions about the use of all types of equipment for real-time management of executives, personnel and students, as well as creating new work and learning styles that can solve the situation of dangerous communicable diseases, such as the COVID-19 situation, or can solve emergency situations that will emerge in the future by working and studying from home. It can organize and share resources for work and learning together to access the organization from outside anywhere and at any time
