“…This softwarization is provided with Software-Defined Security (SDS). Furthermore, SDS can provide a flexible and centralised security solution by abstracting the security mechanisms from the hardware layer to a software layer [51]. The aggregation of SDSys such as SDN and SDS will become one of the key transformations in 5G networks, which creates new opportunities to achieve SDN-based 5G network monitoring as an alternative to traditional network-wide monitoring initiatives [52,53].…”

The use of sensors and actuators as a form of controlling cyber-physical systems in resource networks has been integrated and referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). However, the connectivity of many stand-alone IoT systems through the Internet introduces numerous cybersecurity challenges as sensitive information is prone to be exposed to malicious users. This paper focuses on the improvement of IoT cybersecurity from an ontological analysis, proposing appropriate security services adapted to the threats. The authors propose an ontology-based cybersecurity framework using knowledge reasoning for IoT, composed of two approaches: (1) design time, which provides a dynamic method to build security services through the application of a model-driven methodology considering the existing enterprise processes; and (2) run time, which involves monitoring the IoT environment, classifying threats and vulnerabilities, and actuating in the environment ensuring the correct adaptation of the existing services. Two validation approaches demonstrate the feasibility of our concept. This entails an ontology assessment and a case study with an industrial implementation.

“…Transparency aspects make it difficult to protect data against malicious traffic analysis while maintaining accountability and transaction privacy. Hence, a novel Machine-to-Machine (M2M) messaging and rule-based beacons platform [95] has been proposed to discuss decision fusion and the role of data in seamless data management. The proposed design utilises Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based IoT sensors to monitor biological information.…”

Recently, there have been increasing calls for healthcare providers to provide controls for patients over their personal health records. Nevertheless, security issues concerning how different healthcare providers exchange healthcare information have caused a flop in the deployment of such systems. The ability to exchange data securely is important so that new borderless integrated healthcare services can be provided to patients. Due to its decentralized nature, blockchain technology is a suitable driver for the much-needed shift towards integrated healthcare, providing new insights and addressing some of the main challenges of many healthcare areas. Blockchain allows healthcare providers to record and manage peer-to-peer transactions through a network without central authority. In this paper, we discuss the concept of blockchain technology and hurdles in their adoption in the healthcare domain. Furthermore, a review is conducted on the latest implementations of blockchain technology in healthcare. Finally, a new case study of a blockchain-based healthcare platform is presented addressing the drawbacks of current designs, followed by recommendations for future blockchain researchers and developers.

“…The effective measures for this deployment is the use of software-defined networks (SDN) and its extension to SDN components (SDNC) as described by Sharma et al in [37] through provision of better network visibility by dissociating the control plane from the data plane. Ultimately, the use of dynamic virtualization of network resources in the context of SDNs simplifies management of the network management and facilitates realization of privacy and security in the network through blockchain [38,39]. Measures involving blockchain technologies have been fused in our framework to enable access control, authentication of users and transactions, integrity and data privacy in the framework.…”

Blockchain-Based Secure Storage Management with Edge Computing for IoT

As a core technology to manage decentralized systems, blockchain is gaining much popularity to deploy such applications as smart grid and healthcare systems. However, its utilization in resource-constrained mobile devices is limited due to high demands of resources and poor scalability with frequent-intensive transactions. Edge computing can be integrated to facilitate mobile devices in offloading their mining tasks to cloud resources. This integration ensures reliable access, distributed computation and untampered storage for scalable and secure transactions. It is imperative therefore that crucial issues of security, scalability and resources management be addressed to achieve successful integration. Studies have been conducted to explore suitable architectural requirements, and some researchers have applied the integration to deploy some specific applications. Despite these efforts, however, issues of anonymity, adaptability and integrity still need to be investigated further to attain a practical, secure decentralized data storage. We based our study on peer-to-peer and blockchain to achieve an Internet of Things (IoT) design supported by edge computing to acquire security and scalability levels needed for the integration. We investigated existing blockchain and associated technologies to discover solutions that address anonymity, integrity and adaptability issues for successful integration of blockchain in IoT systems. The discovered solutions were then incorporated in our conceptual design of the decentralized application prototype presented for secure storage of IoT data and transactions.
