“…Many efforts try to leverage blockchain to support security features required in IoT systems. IoTChain [5] proposes a threetier blockchain-based IoT architecture, which allows regional nodes to perform any lightweight consensus, like Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and PBFT. IoTChain only provides simulation results on communication cost of transactions; however key metrics in the consensus layer, like computation, storage and throughput, are not considered.…”

The fast integration of 5G communication, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies is envisioned to enable Next Generation Networks (NGNs) for diverse smart services and user-defined applications for Smart Cities. However, it is still challenging to build a scalable and efficient infrastructure that satisfies the various performance, security, and management demands by heterogeneous IoT applications across multiple administrative domains. This paper presents a dynamic edge resource federation architecture, which integrates the concept of network slicing (NS) and blockchain to improve scalability, dynamicity, and security for multi-domain IoT applications. A NS-enabled dynamic edge resource federation framework adopts intelligent mechanisms to support efficient multi-domain service coordination that satisfies diverse Quality of Service (QoS) and security requirements. We propose a Hierarchical Integrated Federated Ledger (HIFL), which aims to guarantee decentralized security and privacy-preserving properties in multi-domain resource orchestration and service re-adjustment. As a secure-bydesign solution, HIFL is promising to support efficient, trust and secured end-to-end IoT services. A preliminary proof-of-concept prototype has been implemented for comparing intra-and inter-domain performance expectations.

“…The basic idea of the proposed model was to integrate the blockchain of WSNs and link them through edge cloud for secure information exchange. The three-tier security architecture for IoT networks was suggested by Bao et al [31]. The authors used the blockchain layer, authentication layer, and application layer in combination to resolve the security issues of IoT networks.…”

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) connected in the form of Internet of Things (IoT) are vulnerable to various security threats, due to the infrastructure-less deployment of IoT devices. Device-to-Device (D2D) authentication of these networks ensures the integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality of information in the deployed area. The literature suggests different approaches to address security issues in CPS technologies. However, they are mostly based on centralized techniques or specific system deployments with higher cost of computation and communication. It is therefore necessary to develop an effective scheme that can resolve the security problems in CPS technologies of IoT devices. In this paper, a lightweight Hash-MAC-DSDV (Hash Media Access Control Destination Sequence Distance Vector) routing scheme is proposed to resolve authentication issues in CPS technologies, connected in the form of IoT networks. For this purpose, a CPS of IoT devices (multi-WSNs) is developed from the local-chain and public chain, respectively. The proposed scheme ensures D2D authentication by the Hash-MAC-DSDV mutual scheme, where the MAC addresses of individual devices are registered in the first phase and advertised in the network in the second phase. The proposed scheme allows legitimate devices to modify their routing table and unicast the one-way hash authentication mechanism to transfer their captured data from source towards the destination. Our evaluation results demonstrate that Hash-MAC-DSDV outweighs the existing schemes in terms of attack detection, energy consumption and communication metrics.

“…Blockchain technology is a distributed/decentralized network where each of them is connected to others. A block comprises various real transactions and their associated qualities (Wiki, 2017) (Bao, Shi, He, & Chood, 2018) in the application layer; there is a threat of identity forgery attacks. An external attacker may try to use a fabricated signature of a node to forge its identity.…”

“…Similarly, due to the use of a secure digital signature algorithm of the Blockchain, such an attack will not work. Therefore, it can be argued that Blockchain has enhanced different aspects of data quality in general and IoT in particular (Bao et al, 2018).…”

In the Internet of Things (IoT), data gathered from dozens of devices are the base for creating business value and developing new products and services. If data are of poor quality, decisions are likely to be non-sense. Data quality is crucial to gain business value of the IoT initiatives. This paper presents a systematic literature review regarding IoT data quality from 2000 to 2020. We analyzed 58 articles to identify IoT data quality dimensions and issues and their categorizations. According to this analysis, we offer a classification of IoT data characterizations using the focus group method and clarify the link between dimensions and issues in each category. Manifesting a link between dimensions and issues in each category is incumbent, while this critical affair in extant categorizations is ignored. We also examine data security as an important data quality issue and suggest potential solutions to overcome IoT’s security issues. The finding of this study proposes a new research discipline for additional examination for researchers and practitioners in determining data quality in the context of IoT.
