“…Blockchain is essentially used as a ledger in their network setup for user authentication as a protection against DDoS attacks. A similar conceptual framework was reported by [58] using SDN controllers imbedded in the smart contract for detection and mitigation. The information sharing is proposed at a global or intra level, similar to [50].…”

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a major threat impeding service to legitimate requests on any network. Although the first DDoS attack was reported in 1996, the complexity and sophistication of these attacks has been ever increasing. A 2 TBps attack was reported in mid-August 2020 directed towards critical infrastructure, such as finance, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It is estimated that these attacks will double, reaching over 15 million, in the next 2 years. A number of mitigation schemes have been designed and developed since its inception but the increasing complexity demands advanced solutions based on emerging technologies. Blockchain has emerged as a promising and viable technology for DDoS mitigation. The inherent and fundamental characteristics of blockchain such as decentralization, internal and external trustless attitude, immutability, integrity, anonymity and verifiability have proven to be strong candidates, in tackling this deadly cyber threat. This survey discusses different approaches for DDoS mitigation using blockchain in varied domains to date. The paper aims at providing a comprehensive review, highlighting all necessary details, strengths, challenges and limitations of different approaches. It is intended to serve as a single platform to understand the mechanics of current approaches to enhance research and development in the DDoS mitigation domain.

The state of computer network technologies has continually advanced at a rapid pace. Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Blockchain (BC) have emerged as complementary technologies providing support that facilitates greater security and greater network performance for many domains of application, including the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, ideally resulting in an improvement in our collective quality of life. The proliferation of IoT devices, driven by a wide variety of use cases and its ubiquitous availability, combined with the emergence of SDN and BC, presents rich opportunities for various emerging research efforts. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the studies in which BC and SDN have been integrated into the IoT ecosystem, referred to hereafter as BC-enabled Software-Defined IoT (BC-SDIoT). First, we discuss the motivations and drivers for integrating BC-enabled SDN and BC-SDIoT, as well as the benefits and drawbacks. Second, we categorize the relevant studies according to six key implementation objectives and ideas that combine BC, SDN, and IoT technologies to create smart, secure, and effective frameworks: Security, computing paradigms (edge and fog computing), trust management, access control & authentication, privacy, and networking. In the corresponding sections, we present the categories (i.e., problem domains) of the aforementioned novel taxonomy and discuss related studies (i.e., solutions) in depth. Finally, we outline potential major challenges, open issues, and future prospects that require further research attention and intensive endeavors for complete and ground-breaking frameworks to broaden newer research domains in BC-SDIoT. This survey paper may be a fruitful primer for a reader investigating the exploitation of BC in SDN and IoT ecosystems.

“…Security is another critical aspect of IoT research. Ensuring the dynamic identity and authenticated key settlement approaches for IoT infrastructure is essential to protect against various types of attacks [2]. Blockchain technology has been proposed as a solution for securing IoT networks, as it is a decentralized structure that fits well with the decentralized nature of IoT [3].…”
