Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of the Internet of Things (IoTs) has significantly promoted the interconnectivity of devices such as sensors, ushering in an unprecedented era of smart living and working. However, as the IoTs continues to expand swiftly, it becomes increasingly susceptible to security threats. Leveraging its secure ledger functionality and decentralized nature, blockchain technology offers enhanced data security and privacy protection. This Special Issue is dedicated to investigating the collaborative potential between blockchain and IoTs to address the escalating security concerns and privacy demands within the IoTs ecosystem. Contributors are welcome to present theoretical, applied, and experimental research or reviews on how blockchain and related technologies could bolster security and privacy protection in the IoTs. The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Blockchain-enhanced Internet of Things (IoTs) architecture;
- Blockchain-enhanced Internet of Things (IoTs) security;
- Blockchain-enhanced privacy preservation for IoTs;
- Distributed identity authentication in IoTs;
- Secure smart contracts in IoTs;
- Federated and edge computing in IoTs;
- Secure data sharing and governance in IoTs.
