The future of communication systems is undergoing a transformative shift towards intelligence, efficiency, and flexibility. Presently, the amalgamation of blockchain technology and the sixth-generation mobile communication network (6G) has garnered significant attention, as their fusion is poised to profoundly impact the digital economy and society at large. However, the convergence of blockchain and 6G networks poses challenges pertaining to security and performance. In this article, we propose an approach based on the design of secure mechanisms and performance optimization to delve into the key issues surrounding the integration of blockchain and 6G networks from both security and performance perspectives. Specifically, we first introduce the application scenarios of 6G networks and blockchain’s empowerment of them to highlight the necessity of combining blockchain technology with 6G. Subsequently, in order to ensure the security of communication and data transmission between blockchain and 6G networks, we have investigated the design requirements for security mechanisms. Furthermore, we discuss the efficient realization of the amalgamation between blockchain and 6G networks by proposing a solution based on Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) for blockchain’s asynchronous consensus protocol, alongside optimization strategies for storage and communication to meet the desired characteristics and requirements of 6G networks. Lastly, we provide valuable research directions that serve as references and guidance for the future development of the integration between blockchain and 6G networks.

Technological advancements in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) enable medical services to provide incredibly challenging real‐time functions. The proliferation of health sensors has improved patient monitoring, both for patient care and medical purposes, giving professionals more data for early diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Privacy and security are critical considerations for collecting and transferring data from these heterogeneous sensors across the database and the IoT network. This study leverages blockchain technology to improve Electronic Health Record (EHR) privacy and security. This article proposes a novel decentralized architecture using IoT and Blockchain technology for storing EHR and monitoring real‐time patient data. The proposed patient‐centric framework and architecture offer a straightforward solution that fulfills data integrity and anonymity and meets the data interoperability demands. Self‐contained encryption–decryption and primitive cryptographic techniques enhance the system's security. The proposed study models IoT health sensors such as body temperature, pulse rate, spO2, and Electromyogram (EMG) in a blockchain‐based IoT framework. The proposed system has been evaluated to determine that it can process and store Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) data with encouraging results. The article provides performance, security, and threat analysis to contribute toward a robust, secure, and smart healthcare system using metrics such as latency, throughput, IoT sensor activity, and resource usage. Experimental results present that the proposed method beats the standard healthcare system regarding service quality and patient data monitoring.

“…Blockchain is one of the most significant techniques available for addressing integrity concerns in the IoT domain, and blockchain-based solutions for smart industry are abundant [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52]. According to our survey of blockchain-based DSM solutions, 80% of the solutions are based on the on-chain approach and its variants for their key functional requirements, such as network commissioning and transactions [23], [24], [25], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45]<...…”

“…Moreover, concerning the holistic standpoint, ad hoc architectures for DSM have become a widespread practice. For instance, more than 85% of the selected blockchain-based literature covers ad hoc SAs without adequate AMP, model, or reasoning [23], [24], [25], [26], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34], [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50]. Ad hoc solutions exhibit severe constraints on customizability and adaptability with respect to the viewpoint of software engineering and system architects.…”

The realm of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) encompasses a broad spectrum of sensors that are integral to distributed smart manufacturing (DSM). The miscellaneous IIoT sensors deployed for DSM are distributed and operate in a hierarchical and federated structure. Nonetheless, fulfilling essential quality of service (QoS) requirements, such as ensuring security and privacy (integrity) while maintaining scalability and interoperability (robustness), poses a profound challenge for the DSM cloud service platform. Although blockchain technologies have been used to safeguard integrity, the first two generations have imposed constraints on robustness. In contrast, the third-generation blockchain, a.k.a. decentralized crosschain ecosystem, complements Web 3.0 and metaverse and can mitigate the constraints of previous generations. Moreover, blockchain-based ad hoc solutions for DSM use cases are abundant; they often suffer from limited adaptability and unique or homogeneous use cases from a software engineering perspective. A holistic architectural modeling process (AMP) leading to a software reference architecture (SRA) is preferred when alleviating ad hoc constraints. Therefore, we proposed an AMP for SRA for crosschain-based DSM that safeguards integrity while preserving robustness. In the work described in this article, we have conducted the following system-modeling process. First, we propose a novel software AMP for DSM. Second, we deduce a modeled SRA based on a crosschain. Third, we infer a modeled system architecture (SA). Empirical experiment results demonstrate that our proposed crosschain-based method outperforms the widely used on-chainbased method while achieving our objectives efficiently.
