“…19 However, there are many cases where the option of decentralization and the core technology of blockchain result in unreasonable operating cost and poor performance. 20 These factors make it crucial to assess whether blockchain technology is helpful in an emerging area or not. We propose a set of guidelines to answer the very fundamental questions such as: is blockchain suitable for all the emerging areas?…”

Various distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), such as blockchain, have evolved significantly in recent years. These technologies provide a robust and effective solution for providing confidentiality, integrity, nonrepudiation, authentication, and transparency. While blockchain has many advantages, it has various limitations as well, such as complexity, low throughput, privacy, and so on. We discuss the issues that must be considered when deciding whether to use these technologies in a given case or not. We describe the operation of blockchain, application areas where blockchain is suitable, and those where it is not. We also discuss the applicability of other emerging DLTs, apart from blockchain technology, such as Hashgraph, Zcash, Nano coin, and IOTA. INTRODUCTIONAs the name suggests, a blockchain can be considered as a database where digital information (ie, "Blocks") is stored in a distributed network as a chain of blocks. Blockchain falls in the class of distributed ledger technologies (DLT) that allow a database to be used and maintained in a distributed manner. Blockchain provides a shared ledger of transactions 1 that can be read, verified and stored in the form of blocks, forming a chain-like structure. Depending on the size of the transaction, a block may store up to a few thousand transactions (eg, a single block in the bitcoin blockchain can store about 1 MB of data). The security and anonymity provided by blockchain relies on the use of public key based digital signatures, hash functions, and the distributed nature of the database. Participants in a blockchain are connected through a peer-to-peer (P2P) network and are independent of each other. 2 This architecture allows the sharing of resources, 3 avoids single point of failure, and reduces the likelihood of data tampering because the data is not stored or managed by specific nodes. [4][5][6] However, there are many challenges 7 that need to be resolved in the case of distributed networks. These challenges include accountability, confidentiality, integrity, nonrepudiation, and authentication, due to the absence of any central authority. Another major issue is trust because there is no central authority that can resolve any ambiguities or disagreements that may occur. Blockchain resolves all these issues. Confidentiality and authentication are ensured using two-way encryption, that is, by encrypting the data first by the sender's private key and then by the receiver's public key. To decrypt it, first the receiver's private key is used and then the sender's public key. Consequently, data remains confidential, integrity is achieved and because the data can be obtained using sender's public key, it acts as a digital signature that authenticates the data and eliminates the possibility of nonrepudiation. Trust is obtained by introducing a consensus Trans Emerging Tel Tech.

“…Then, an incentive scheme was developed to encourage controllers to protect security and offer more secure services to other controllers. Singh and Venkatesan [74] proposed a notional method for blockchain and IoD cooperation that offers advantages to drones with blockchain features. In the proposed method, an Advanced Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (ABFT) consensus was suggested for drone-based applications, providing scalability with minimal cost and resources.…”

The Internet of Drones (IoD) has attracted increasing attention in recent years because of its portability and automation, and is being deployed in a wide range of fields (e.g., military, rescue and entertainment). Nevertheless, as a result of the inherently open nature of radio transmission paths in the IoD, data collected, generated or handled by drones is plagued by many security concerns. Since security and privacy are among the foremost challenges for the IoD, in this paper we conduct a comprehensive review on security issues and solutions for IoD security, discussing IoD-related security requirements and identifying the latest advancement in IoD security research. This review analyzes a host of important security technologies with emphases on authentication techniques and blockchain-powered schemes. Based on a detailed analysis, we present the challenges faced by current methodologies and recommend future IoD security research directions. This review shows that appropriate security measures are needed to address IoD security issues, and that newly designed security solutions should particularly consider the balance between the level of security and cost efficiency.

In recent era, the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) commonly known as drones has emerged as a one of the most significant and promising tools which has demonstrated its wide range of implementations variating from commercial domain to the field of defense due to its distinct capabilities such as inspection, surveillance, precision and so forth. Internet connected drones provides a propitious trend that boosts the flying safety, and service qualities of the UAVs where numerous low‐altitude drones winged in different flying regions for executing a precise task such as gathering the real‐time information from the unuttered environment to be interpretated by users. Nevertheless, the open‐access insecure communications in hostile environment, the issues like safety and confidentiality threats, various security concerns such as the leakage of flying courses, identities, position, and gathered data by the drones are upstretched. To address these security concerns, access control mechanism provides a potential service in terms of authentication and key agreement for securing the communication between the individual drones within their respective flying regions. This article introduces a robust, efficient, lightweight, and privacy preserving ECC integrated access control approach by employing digital certificate with considering the high dynamicity and mobility of the drones. The designing of this proposed approach, that is, CLAASC‐IoD is influenced by the aim of inter‐drone and drone‐to‐ground station communication in the IoD paradigm. The detailed analysis of security using probabilistic random oracle model as well as simulation using well‐accepted security verification tool AVISPA and comparative performance evaluation supports the claim of robustness, effectiveness, and proficiency.
