“…Their paper makes a compelling argument for the importance of dynamic policy specifications and presents an intricate tapestry of access control requirements critical for the IoT's security. They underscore that while a multitude of access control models for the IoT have been postulated, the search for a universally applicable model remains ongoing [11]. In the intersection of blockchain and IoT, Butun & Österberg (2020) present an analysis of the potential of blockchain systems to bolster the security layers of IoT networks.…”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology with a very high market growth rate. In IoT, machines, and users from different levels need to collaborate to exchange data and share resources. IoT opens the door for a vast improvement in all human life aspects. However, the increasing adoption of IoT in many sectors makes it difficult to control security risks. For this reason, there is a need for more effort in both research and industry to address the risks and find convenient solutions. This systematic literature review delves deep into understanding the unique challenges and requirements posed by IoT environments. Through a detailed examination of 96 selected studies, this paper primarily addresses three research questions. The study concludes by summarizing key requirements, technologies, and metrics founded on our comprehensive analysis, aiming to steer further research in the domain. As IoT continues its expansion into various facets of our daily lives, there's a paramount need to integrate with emerging technologies, ensure scalability, and prioritize real-world implementations for the next wave of innovations in access control systems.INDEX TERMS access control, Internet of Things, IoT, security, systematic review.

The access control (AC) system in an IoT (Internet of Things) context ensures that only authorized entities have access to specific devices and that the authorization procedure is based on pre-established rules. Recently, blockchain-based AC systems have gained attention within research as a potential solution to the single point of failure issue that centralized architectures may bring. Moreover, zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) technology is included in blockchain-based AC systems to address the issue of sensitive data leaking. However, current solutions have two problems: (1) systems built by these works are not adaptive to high-traffic IoT environments because of low transactions per second (TPS) and high latency; (2) these works cannot fully guarantee that all user behaviors are honest. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based AC system with zero-knowledge rollups to address the aforementioned issues. Our proposed system implements zero-knowledge rollups (ZK-rollups) of access control, where different AC authorization requests can be grouped into the same batch to generate a uniform ZKP, which is designed specifically to guarantee that participants can be trusted. In low-traffic environments, sufficient experiments show that the proposed system has the least AC authorization time cost compared to existing works. In high-traffic environments, we further prove that based on the ZK-rollups optimization, the proposed system can reduce the authorization time overhead by 86%. Furthermore, the security analysis is presented to show the system’s ability to prevent malicious behaviors.
