“…One of the technologies in the spotlight in SCM is a digital twin. Several studies show that the blockchain will provide secure data management capabilities in a complex multilateral digital twin process [60,61]. For industrial management, digital twins are their cyber representation of the physical assets to understand, simulate, predict, analyze, and optimize.…”

Targets of cyber crime are not exclusive to the private sector. Successful cyber attacks on nation-states have proved that cyber threats can jeopardize significant national interests. In response, nation-states have begun to handle cyber threats at the national defense level, which is titled 'cyber defense.' The cyber defense sector is related to national security, therefore requires robust security technology. Contrary to normal systems, blockchain provides strong security properties without a centralized control entity, and as such its application in the cyber defense field is under the spotlight. In this paper, we present opportunities blockchain provides for cyber defense, research and national projects, and limitations. We constructed a survey of government documents, interviews, related news, technical reports, and research papers from 2016 to 2021. As a result, our research contributes to reducing the gap in blockchain for cyber defense by systematically conducting research and analysis. In our research, we found that not only research but also government-led plans are actively promoting blockchain, which demonstrates that blockchain will play a remarkable role in cyber defense. This paper concludes with suggestions for future research in aspects of the blockchain technology, evaluation, and survey.

“…The works on blockchain-based DTs [2], [21]- [23] cover various aspects of traceability, storage, retrieval, and sharing of DT data among the involved parties in addition to other security aspects (such as quantum resistance, encryption, access control, etc.). Other than [16], the other blockchain-based schemes lack the details on how the DTs are constructed and how DT security operation modes can be used to create future scenarios in the absence of direct observation data.…”

“…Although a blockchain conceptually serves the same purpose as a traditional database, the approach to data storage used by blockchain is very different. In a blockchain, the data is shared on a network of computers that all run on a unique software that ensures that all data remains identical and synchronized across all devices 12,13 . The data in a blockchain is secured by using cryptography.…”

The industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and supply chain systems have become one of the most important technologies to positively impact our daily life activities. Blockchain technology has recently gained popularity and it is increasingly being employed in a large number of applications and industries. The use cases for blockchain are growing rapidly in different fields and domains. Combining blockchain into IIoT and in our supply chain logistics could provide many solutions to the critical issues that current systems face today. Blockchain features such as immutability, decentralization, and data encryption are useful in solving the shortcomings of IIoT and the current supply chain systems security and integrity. This article presents a comprehensive review of blockchain applications in IIoT and supply chain systems. This article also focuses on the security aspects of blockchain integration within industry applications with the support of the emerging edge computing technology.
