Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the emerging technologies of this century and its various aspects, such as the Infrastructure, Security, Architecture and Privacy, play an important role in shaping the future of the digitalised world. Internet of Things devices are connected through sensors which have significant impacts on the data and its security. In this research, we used IoT five layered architecture of the Internet of Things to address the security and private issues of IoT enabled services and applications. Furthermore, a detailed survey on Internet of Things infrastructure, architecture, security, and privacy of the heterogeneous objects were presented. The paper identifies the major challenge in the field of IoT; one of them is to secure the data while accessing the objects through sensing machines. This research advocates the importance of securing the IoT ecosystem at each layer resulting in an enhanced overall security of the connected devices as well as the data generated. Thus, this paper put forwards a security model to be utilised by the researchers, manufacturers and developers of IoT devices, applications and services.

“…Here, another revolutionary technology, the blockchain [62], may help immensely. Thus, the use of data provenance and the blockchain may be utilized to clearly delineate the private domain, public domain and the personal domain of IoT environments [76]. Personal information, as collected especially by IoNT, BIoNT, MIoT, CIoT and HIoT, covering medical information in particular, needs to be strongly protected from malicious use and hacking.…”

“…Mobile Internet connectivity being more secure than Wi-Fi and with the deployment of 5G, the IoT industry may move away from Wi-Fi to 5G for better connectivity and security. The use of the Blockchain [76] also offers the potential to implement a more secure and private IoT ecosystem. Furthermore, the use of statistical fingerprinting may aid in developing a more secure IoT world-which is essential for the healthcare sectors [22].…”

The current statuses and future promises of the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE) and Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) are extensively reviewed and a summarized survey is presented. The analysis clearly distinguishes between IoT and IoE, which are wrongly considered to be the same by many commentators. After evaluating the current trends of advancement in the fields of IoT, IoE and IoNT, this paper identifies the 21 most significant current and future challenges as well as scenarios for the possible future expansion of their applications. Despite possible negative aspects of these developments, there are grounds for general optimism about the coming technologies. Certainly, many tedious tasks can be taken over by IoT devices. However, the dangers of criminal and other nefarious activities, plus those of hardware and software errors, pose major challenges that are a priority for further research. Major specific priority issues for research are identified.

“…Over the past years, the concept of blockchain technology has attracted as growing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology among millions of users for decentralized sharing and distributed computing. With the adoption of the cryptographic technology and without centralized data storage, the blockchain technology avoids the attacks from controlling the entire system [8,9] . The combination of IoT and Blockchain technology provides several benefits such as lower operational cost, robustness against attacks and threats, and decentralized management [10,11] .…”

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) plays a vital role in our daily activities .Owing to the increased number of vulnerabilities on the IoT devices, security becomes critical in the untrustworthy IoT environment. Access control is one of the top security concerns, however, implementing the traditional access control mechanisms in the resource-constrained nature of the IoT devices is a challenging task. With the emergence of blockchain technology, several recent research works have focused on the adoption of blockchain in IoT to resolve the security concerns. Despite, integrating the blockchain in the resource-constrained IoT context is difficult. To overcome these obstacles, the proposed work presents a privacy-aware IoT security architecture to ensure the access control based on Smart contract for resource-constrained and distributed IoT devices. The design of the proposed architecture incorporates three main components such as the contextual blockchain gateway, decentralized revocation manager, and non-interactive zero-knowledge proof based validation. By modeling the contextual blockchain gateway, the proposed architecture ensures the dynamic authentication and authorization based on the contextual information and access policies. Instead of integrating the blockchain technology into resource-constrained IoT devices, the smart contract-based distributed access control system with the contextual blockchain gateway provides the scalable solution. With the association of decentralized revocation manager in the smart contract, it prevents the resource access from the unauthorized users by dynamically generating and updating the revoked user list of all the nodes in the smart contract. Moreover, the proposed architecture employs the non-interactive zeroknowledge proof cryptographic protocol to ensure the transaction privacy within the smart contract. Consequently, it maintains the trade-off between the transparency and privacy while ensuring the security for the distributed IoT environment.
