“…The main drawback is that their fragmented ledger stores only hash values. Their architecture does not ensure data availability and data correctness. Ouaddah et al introduced FairAccess, authorization management framework with the added advantage of a privacy‐preserving mechanism. It allows users to manage their data.…”

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.

“…The devices can then query the contract, find out about the new firmware, and request it by its hash via a distributed peer-to-peer file system such as IPFS. Another approach to integrate the blockchain in the IoT is presented in the framework FairAccess [4] which will be detailed in section III.…”

“…It is indispensable that the agent passes several experiences to gather the maximum of rewards in order to know the best his environment and so he can make the right and optimal actions. This proposed work relies on a fully distributed infrastructure based on blockchain technology as has been done in the work [4] of FairAccess. That said, it will use, as a cited before, the concept of SmartContract to distribute the security policy in the chain.…”

Abstract-The Internet of Things (IoT) is now destroying the barriers between the real and digital worlds. However, one of the huge problems that can slow down the development of this global wave, or even stop it, concerns security and privacy requirements. The criticality of these latter comes especially from the fact that the smart objects may contain very intimate information or even may be responsible for protecting people's lives. In this paper, the focus is on access control in the IoT context by proposing a dynamic and fully distributed security policy. Our proposal will be based, on one hand, on the concept of the blockchain to ensure the distributed aspect strongly recommended in the IoT; and on the other hand on machine learning algorithms, particularly on reinforcement learning category, in order to provide a dynamic, optimized and selfadjusted security policy.

“…Since BTC has flourished, Blockchain, the technology that underpins BTC, could, according to Swan, have far-ranging consequences for all aspects of modern society. Based on the characteristics of Blockchain, many researchers have carried out research on its application in the IoT environment [21], such as applying BC to the smart home system to ensure the security and privacy of information [22], applying smart contract in IoT [23], using the BC platform to manage IoT devices [24], and made security transmission for IoT [25]. The reason for this explosion of interest is that, with the Blockchain technology in place, applications that could previously run only through a trusted intermediary can now operate in a decentralized fashion.…”

With the fast development of mobile Internet, Internet of Things (IoT) has been found in many important applications recently. However, it still faces many challenges in security and privacy. Blockchain (BC) technology, which underpins the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, has played an important role in the development of decentralized and data intensive applications running on millions of devices. In this paper, to establish the relationship between IoT and BC for device credibility verification, we propose a framework with layers, intersect, and self-organization Blockchain Structures (BCS). In this new framework, each BCS is organized by Blockchain technology. We describe the credibility verification method and show how it provide the verification. The efficiency and security analysis are also given in this paper, including its response time, storage efficiency, and verification. The conducted experiments have been shown to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method in satisfying the credible requirement achieved by Blockchain technology and certain advantages in storage space and response time.
