FairAccess: a new Blockchain‐based access control framework for the Internet of Things
- 5943-5964
- 19 Feb 2017
Graphical Abstract
Motivated by the recent burst of interest around blockchains, in this paper, we inaugurated a new applicability domain of this technology by the proposition of FairAccess as a new blockchain-based access control framework for Internet of Things. Our framework leverages the consistency offered by blockchain-based cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin to provide a decentralized and transparent access control framework for Internet of Things.
Software‐defined networking (SDN): a survey
- 5803-5833
- 7 Feb 2017
Graphical Abstract
In this paper, our purpose is to shed light on software-defined networking related issues and give insight into the challenges facing the future of this revolutionary network model, from both protocol and architecture perspectives. Additionally, we aim to present different existing solutions and mitigation techniques that address software-defined networking scalability, elasticity, dependability, reliability, high availability, resiliency, security, and performance concerns.
Privacy in the Internet of Things: threats and challenges
- 2728-2742
- 10 Jun 2013
Graphical Abstract
The Internet of Things brings forth exciting new services based on the pervasive interconnection and cooperation of smart things that, among other features, lead to an explosion of data collection and new evolving interaction mechanisms. Our analysis shows that greatly aggravated privacy issues such as tracking and profiling and even new threats await on the flip side of the coin. We point out corresponding technical challenges that need to be overcome to ensure that the Internet of Things becomes a reality.
