“…Virtual enterprises employ a series of different stakeholders, multifaceted global processes, activities, and systems to provide digital services to end-users. The adop-tion of DLT by VE offers a holistic inclusive approach for better interconnectivity and access to real-time data to optimize the delivery of digital services (Asante et al 2021). Several enterprises envisioned a distributed multi-DLT and digital platforms ecosystem, in which different DLT and systems can collaborate with each other seamlessly to achieve different scenarios (Kazemi and Yazdinejad 2021).…”

The breakthrough of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) has enabled the emergence and implementation of a wide range of digital platforms in Virtual Enterprises (VE) which collaborate to provide digital services. DLT has the potential to revolutionize VE by offering transparent, decentralized, trustworthy, data provenance, reliable, and auditable features. Yet, the full deployment of DLT systems and digital platforms is still limited since some systems are operating in isolation. Hence, DLT interoperability is one of the challenges inhibiting widespread adoption of DLT platforms. DLT interoperability represents the ability for one distributed ledger platform to interact and share data with other legacy digital applications. It is inevitable to orchestrate these digital platforms fragments by introducing a cross-DLT platform integration to govern data usage within VE. Presently, already proposed approaches for DLT interoperability such as naive relay, sidechain, oracle solutions notary scheme, or relay chain are mostly not employed as they are either resource-intensive or too expensive to operate. Therefore, this paper presents a layered architecture that aids interoperability of DLT, and digital platforms based on IOTA Tangle. Design science method is adopted, and case demonstration is carried out to show how IOTA Tangle enable VE to provide an innovative virtual asset payment platform for seamless electric mobility as a service to clients. IOTA was employed as the DLT platform due to its data traceability, immutability, and tamper-proof features which allow for verification of integrity of data. IOTA offers flexibility and performance to support a reliable digital solution. Findings from this study presents a layered architecture that aids IOTA Tangle to make requests, inter-communicate, and share data via RESTful application programming interface as gateway with other external digital platforms deployed by VE to achieve an interoperable eco-system.

“…Each transaction is cryptographically signed and verified by all mining nodes; all mining nodes record chained blocks representing all transactions, the so-called distributed ledger. Currently, a blockchain categorizes into (1) public: everyone can join the blockchain, (2) private: only authorized users can join, (3) consensus or federated: only authorized and preselected users can join, and (4) blockchain as a service (BaaS): cloud service providers are providing blockchain-related services [146,147]. This computational paradigm is often used for cryptocurrencies, i.e., Bitcoin, Ether, etc.…”

“…Therefore, risk management and information gathering of the supply chain have become more critical in order to identify bottlenecks. Consequently, DLT has become an emergent technology for the supply chain [147]. Finally, blockchain is also used in other domains, i.e., distributed data storage [153], agriculture [154], and many more.…”

“…Nevertheless, the ever-increasing variables in the prevailing system have complicated security operations. The excellence of products degrades considerably prior to reaching the customers because of some inadequacies in the existing supply chain system [53]. In Addition, the common security flaws of the supply chain system have supplemented the problems of forgery and pirated commodities, which in turn result in a great financial loss on the consumer's side and lead to a bad reputation for the companies or provider.…”

This chapter mainly presents a detailed discussion of the IoT technologies and dependent systems with the main objectives of emphasizing the main attributes of IoT systems that might possibly threaten the security of the system. Firstly, the definition and of the IoT system and the detailed description of its architecture are presented along with a taxonomy for dividing its architecture into layers with different complementary roles. Secondly, the concepts of cloud computing, fog computing, and edge computing are discussed and compared in view of IoT systems. Finally, the learned lessons are summarized and pointed out in the last section of this chapter.
