The Internet of Intelligent Things (IoIT) communication environment can be utilized in various types of applications (for example, intelligent battlefields, smart healthcare systems, the industrial internet, home automation, and many more). Communications that happen in such environments can have different types of security and privacy issues, which can be resolved through the utilization of blockchain. In this paper, we propose a tutorial that aims in desiging a generalized blockchain-based secure authentication key management scheme for the IoIT environment. Moreover, some issues with using blockchain for a communication environment are discussed as future research directions. The details of different types of blockchain are also provided. Some of the widely-accepted consensus algorithms are then discussed. Next, we discuss different types of applications in blockchain-based IoIT communication environments. The details of the associated system models are provided, such as, the network and attack models for the blockchain-based IoIT communication environment, which are helpful in designing a security protocol for such an environment. A practical demonstration of the proposed generalized scheme is provided in order to measure the impact of the scheme on the performance of the essential parameters. Finally, some of the future research challenges in the blockchain-based IoIT communication environment are highlighted, which will also be helpful to the researchers. INDEX TERMS Blockchain, Internet of Intelligent Things (IoIT), IoT, security and privacy.

“…However, similar to other IIoT applications there are underpinning security and privacy considerations [12,13]. For example, Zhu, Cai, Hu, Li, and Li [10] proposed a blockchain-based crowdsourcing platform, which comprises a hybrid blockchain structure, smart contract, dual ledgers, and dual consensus protocols. The platform is designed to facilitate secure communications, verification of transactions, and privacy preserving features.…”

The rapid growth of renewable energy has increased the requirements of the smart grid for communication and processing capabilities. As an effective solution to collect and manage information, the wireless network can improve the efficiency of renewable energy management. But due to the wireless data transmission risk and centralized power trading, the smart grid employing wireless networks cannot guarantee the security of the electricity market and the high consumption of renewable energy. Recently, as an emerging data-sharing technology, the blockchain has attracted widespread attention and is considered to have the potential to solve above problems. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-enabled secure power trading mechanism for the smart grid employing wireless networks. The blockchain is introduced to record power data collected by the wireless network, and the smart contract can make reasonable trading decisions based on this. The dual-chain structure composed of local energy trading blockchain and renewable energy trading blockchain improves the efficiency of power trading and renewable energy consumption. To strengthen the stability of renewable energy producers and expand their scale, we also design a blockchainenabled renewable energy incentive mechanism. Finally, the modified Southern California Edison 56 bus test feeder model validated our mechanism.
