Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Internet of Things (IoT) is exploding in research and industry, with IoT technologies quickly maturing in smart homes, smart farms, smart factories and smart cities. Diverse IoT devices generate a huge volume of IoT data vulnerable to tampering, hacking and even denial of services. This vulnerability comes from heterogeneity in protocols and operating systems and slow adoption of global standards. However, most IoT devices are too constrained in terms of processing and communication ability to accommodate conventional security and privacy schemes.
The vast data generated from the huge number of interconnected IoT devices can be best analyzed with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for problem-solving or decision-making. In return, IoT provides ample data essential for AI such as machine learning. Thus, IoT and AI are inseparable.
Blockchain is a promising technology for providing security and privacy for constrained IoT devices. Unlike conventional security schemes, which focus on the path traversed by data, blockchain focuses on the protection of data themselves, providing immutability and authentication. This makes blockchain an outstanding candidate for IoT security and privacy, since most IoT data traverse diverse and vulnerable paths interconnecting distributed IoT devices.
This Special Issue addresses the innovative developments, technologies and challenges related to blockchain, security, privacy and intelligence for the IoT. The Special Issue is seeking the latest findings from research and ongoing projects. Additionally, review articles that provide readers with current research trends and solutions are also welcome. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Blockchain-based security and privacy for IoT
- Blockchain technology for IoT
- Blockchain and AI for IoT
- Mobile blockchain for IoT
- Software platforms for security in IoT
- Edge/fog computing for security and privacy in IoT
- IoT applications based on blockchain technology
- Evaluation and experimental analysis of blockchain IoT applications
- Blockchain, security and privacy for the Internet of Vehicles
- Blockchain, security, privacy and AI for IoT healthcare systems
- AI-based technologies for security and privacy of future IoT
- AI-based technologies for measurement and management of future IoT
- Blockchain and AI for smart cities, smart homes, smart health and industrial IoT
- AI for fraud detection and forensics in blockchain
