In recent times, the new revolution of IoT facilitates communication and information sharing among people in different domains like a smart city. This revolution came with a risk of cyber-attacks that target devices and shared data. The digital evidence resulting from the digital forensics process applied to IoT devices must be kept safe for later analysis. Preserving digital evidence on a centralized server raises the risk of a single point of failure. Evidence preserving on cloud servers raises the tampering risk with the evidence or even sharing them with malicious third parties. Therefore, this paper presents a novel framework called Forensics Chain for Evidence Preservation System for IoT-based smart city security. The proposed framework aims to integrate blockchain with digital forensics to overcome the problems faced by forensic investigators; single point of failure and/or evidence modifications and enhance the security of preserving digital evidence via applying blockchain. Applying blockchain guarantees the immutability and data integrity of the preserved evidence. Furthermore, preserving the digital evidence among the forensic participant nodes eliminates the possibility of the single-point failure of a centralized storage server. The results provided a Proof of Concept for forensic evidence preservation based on blockchain and evaluated its performance.

“…In practice, miners consist of various companies, research institutions, and regulatory agencies. A detailed description and rigorous proof of Scrybe's consensus algorithm is given in [51,83]. Since Scrybe is a dedicated provenance blockchain, no underlying currency can introduce volatility or cause the underlying technology to become obsolete.…”

Clinical trials are a multi-billion dollar industry. One of the biggest challenges facing the clinical trial research community is satisfying Part 11 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations [1] and ISO 27789 [2]. These controls provide audit requirements that guarantee the reliability of the data contained in the electronic records. Context-aware smart devices and wearable IoT devices have become increasingly common in clinical trials. Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and Clinical Data Management Systems (CDMS) do not currently address the new challenges introduced using these devices. The healthcare digital threat landscape is continually evolving, and the prevalence of sensor fusion and wearable devices compounds the growing attack surface. We propose Scrybe, a permissioned blockchain, to store proof of clinical trial data provenance. We illustrate how Scrybe addresses each control and the limitations of the Ethereum-based blockchains. Finally, we provide a proof-of-concept integration with REDCap to show tamper resistance.

“…The entire framework is decentralized, and the clients go about as a self‐policing power to guarantee the honesty of each transaction that is implanted into the open record 42 . Besides, a data structure has been supplied by BC that can ensure the data totality and nonrejection, just as giving provenance relating to such information 43,44 . This unchanging BC record may set up trust and wipe out the requirement for data storehouses and agents among a multitude of stages trading on the own subtleties of the clients.…”

Since security is the most important issue in the Internet of things (IoT) and blockchain (BC), this article aims to identify, analyze, and organize the literature about security in the IoT and BC context up to August 2020 and proposes an agenda for future research. The 39 related articles have been ranked into three main categories, smart city, data management and information, and architecture and framework. The findings showed that the distinctive technical aspects of BC might impressively find a solution for privacy and security problems encountering the IoT development, supply distributed storage, transparency, trust, and other support for IoT. It is conducted to form a valid, impressive, and secure distributed IoT network and supply a beneficial guarantee for the security of IoT users. Since the devices of IoT are simply reachable, a BC‐depended solution can be executed, which may certify the confidentiality and safety of the info preserved in the devices. In addition, BC technology facilitates the secure sharing of IoT datasets and secure IoT systems. However, blockchains require more computational strength and high bandwidth and are not perfectly proper for many resource‐restricted IoT devices.
