“…Particularly, blockchain-enabled SDN can mitigate the attacks such as malware and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Moreover, the study [99] investigated the integration of blockchain with ECNs to provide trusted edge services. Incentive schemes that are embedded with smart contracts can incentivise ECNs to contribute to edge services.…”

Critical infrastructure systems are vital to underpin the functioning of a society and economy. Due to ever-increasing number of Internet-connected Internet-of-Things (IoTs) / Industrial IoT (IIoT), and high volume of data generated and collected, security and scalability are becoming burning concerns for critical infrastructures in industry 4.0. The blockchain technology is essentially a distributed and secure ledger that records all the transactions into a hierarchically expanding chain of blocks. Edge computing brings the cloud capabilities closer to the computation tasks. The convergence of blockchain and edge computing paradigms can overcome the existing security and scalability issues. In this paper, we first introduce the IoT/IIoT critical infrastructure in industry 4.0, and then we briefly present the blockchain and edge computing paradigms. After that, we show how the convergence of these two paradigms can enable secure and scalable critical infrastructures. Then, we provide a survey on state-of-the-art for security and privacy, and scalability of IoT/IIoT critical infrastructures. A list of potential research challenges and open issues in this area is also provided, which can be used as useful resources to guide future research.

“…These services will help to establish secure communication channels among these components even if they belong to different security domains. Provide fundamental security mechanisms required by the virtualization infrastructure, such as which virtualization services to use, control which resources they can access, and so on. Monitor the status of infrastructure using situational awareness mechanisms. Fog computing must provide privacy services for both IoT devices and the service providers since they are part of the Fog environment. Fog should have digital evidence management (Forensics). Blockchain technology can be highly helpful in the Fog since it enables transparent and verifiable evidence and enhances trust and data sharing decisions. Recently, a tremendous number of publications claim that blockchain can mitigate the impact of many of the above privacy and security challenges (eg, 50,73,76,80‐86 ). Their findings will be included in the following discussion.…”

“…Authors have provided some recommendations that can help in addressing, at least partially, the issue of trust in the Fog environment such as using blockchain technology to maintain the log files, which has the records of events and messages exchanging in Fog nodes in a distributed way. 84,[106][107][108][109][110][111] So, if a Fog node misbehaves, other trusted nodes can discover that. In other words, using Blockchain can enable a trustworthy IoT-Fog-Cloud architecture.…”

Fog nodes are implemented near to end‐users Internet of Things (IoT) devices, which mitigate the impact of low latency, location awareness, and geographic distribution unsupported features of many IoT applications. Moreover, Fog computing decreases the data offload into the Cloud, which decreases the response time. Despite these benefits, Fog computing faces many challenges in meeting security and privacy requirements. These challenges occur due to the limitations of Fog computing resources. In fact, Fog computing may add new security and privacy issues. Although many papers have discussed the Fog security and privacy issues recently, most of these papers have discussed these issues at a very high level. This paper provides a comprehensive understanding of Fog privacy and security issue. In this survey, we review the literature on Fog computing to draw the state‐of‐the‐art of the security and privacy issues raised by Fog computing. The findings of this survey reveal that studying Fog computing is still in its infant stage. Many questions are yet to be answered to address the privacy and security challenges of Fog computing.
