The increased adoption of the Internet Protocol (IP) in ICSs has made these systems vulnerable to the same security risks that are present in traditional IT environments. The legacy nature of ICSs and their unique operational requirements make them vulnerable to security threats that are different from those in IT environments. In this paper, we describe a protocol, named ArpON, which is able to wipe out in quasi real time any ARP cache poisoning attempt, thus making it ineffective. Contrarily to solutions presented in the literature for contrasting ARP cache poisoning, ArpON incurs in low operational costs, is backward compatible, transparent to the ARP protocol and does not use any HW feature nor cryptography functionality. We also model and validate ArpON in the OMNET + + network simulator. The simulation results show that ArpON is effective in avoiding ARP poisoning, and its communication overhead is negligible with respect to classical ARP protocol.

The secure and efficient collection of patients’ vital information is a challenge faced by the healthcare industry. Through the adoption and application of Internet of Things (IoT), the healthcare industry has seen an improvement in the quality of delivered services and patient safety. However, IoT utilization in healthcare is challenging due to the sensitive nature of patients’ clinical information and communicating this across heterogeneous networks and among IoT devices. We conducted a semi-systematic literature review to provide an overview of IoT security and privacy challenges in the healthcare sector over time. We collected 279 studies from 5 scientific databases, of which 69 articles met the requirements for inclusion. We performed thematic and qualitative content analysis to extract trends and information. According to our analysis, the vulnerabilities in IoT in healthcare are classified into three main layers: perception, network, and application. We comprehensively reviewed IoT privacy and security threats on each layer. Different technological advancements were suggested to address the identified vulnerabilities in healthcare. This review has practical implications, emphasizing that healthcare organizations, software developers, and device manufacturers must prioritize healthcare IoT security and privacy. A comprehensive, multilayered security approach, security-by-design principles, and training for staff and end-users must be adopted. Regulators and policy makers must also establish and enforce standards and regulations that promote the security and privacy of healthcare IoT. Overall, this study underscores the importance of ensuring the security and privacy of healthcare IoT, with stakeholders’ coordinated efforts to address the complex and evolving security and privacy threats in this field. This can enhance healthcare IoT trust and reliability, reduce the risks of security and privacy issues and attacks, and ultimately improve healthcare delivery quality and safety.

After the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), the way devices interact with each other changed, as it allowed automation and seamless communication in various fields. However, various challenges related to security and trust have emerged, hindering the widespread adoption of the IoT. Blockchain technology is considered the ideal solution to face these challenges because of its immutable and decentralized nature. This paper explores the potential of blockchain technology to address critical security and trust challenges within the rapidly growing IoT ecosystem. Through a systematic literature review, this study examines how blockchain’s decentralized, immutable, and transparent features contribute to enhancing security and trust in IoT networks. Key findings indicate that blockchain integration can prevent data manipulation, ensure robust identity management, and facilitate transparent, verifiable transactions, supporting both security and trust in IoT systems. These attributes not only improve IoT security but also promote sustainable practices by optimizing resource efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing resilience in systems like supply chain management and smart grids. Additionally, this study identifies open research challenges and suggests future directions for optimizing blockchain in IoT environments, focusing on scalability, energy-efficient consensus mechanisms, and efficient data processing.
