The emerging techniques, such as the fifth-generation communications (5G), Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, artificial intelligence, etc., are operating in unison will drive the transformation of global business forward. The 5G technology is expected to unleash a massive IoT ecosystems by providing massive connectivity for huge number of IoT devices with faster data rate, ultra-low latency, and low-cost access. The 5G networks will be designed to bring the level of performance needed for massive IoT and will enable a perceived fully ubiquitous connected world. Meanwhile, the blockchain being promoted as the fundamental for new business model in Future IoT (FIoT). This paper attempts to provide a set of new directions and ideas for research in 5G/6G enabled IoT and new technique trends in IoT. The current IoT are facing a number of challenges, such as massive IoT devices access, network performances, security, standardization, and critical applications. This paper investigates new technologies, such as 5G, zero-trust, and blockchain will catalyse the innovation in IoT. Specifically, a zero-trust security architecture for FIoT is proposed and a blockchain-based device authentication in IoT environment (BasIoT) is proposed that can provide massive secure device access in FIoT.
