From the trading of digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum to a variety of uses in the private as well as public sectors, Blockchain technology has advanced. In a distributed setting, it facilitates confidence between untrusted organizations without requiring regulatory intervention. Blockchain provides a number of benefits, such as a shared register of records, which enhance company values. One of the most crucial components of blockchain application that enable safe operations without the involvement of outside parties is the smart contract. Over the past few decades, the usage of smart contracts has increased dramatically. The emergence of additional technologies, such as the distributed ledger, decentralized autonomous organizations, distributed finance, Internet of Things and AI is linked to this technology. The use of sophisticated smart contracts is applicable in every aspect of our everyday lives, from the logistics sector, the arts, economics and the Internet of Things. Smart contract is enforceable and self-executing computer program designed to carry out provisions of an agreement independently without involvement of third party.

Preethi Preethi, Mohammed Mujeer Ulla, R. Sapna, Raghavendra M Devadas

Over the last few years, the conceptualization of Smart Home has received acceptance. The extensive issues regarding a smart home include offloading computational tasks, data security aspects, privacy issues, authentication of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and so on. Presently, existing smart home automation addresses either of these issues, nevertheless, Smart Home automation that also necessitates decision-making for offloading computational tasks with improved QoS (i.e., latency and throughput) and systematic features apart from being reliable and safe is a definite necessity. To address these gaps in this, work a QoS-improved method called, Blockchain-modeled Swarm Optimized Lyapunov Smart Contract Deep Reinforced Tasks Offloading (BSOLSC-DRTO) in smart home is proposed. The BSOLSC-DRTO method is split into two sections, namely, Offloading Computational Tasks based on the Particle Swarm Optimized Lyapunov model and Temporal Difference Deep Reinforced Secured Offloading. First to solve the offloading issue and therefore improve the QoS, we developed a Particle Swarm Optimized Lyapunov model using a Lyapunov optimization function. This optimization problem aims to minimize latency and improve throughput considerably. Second, to boost the offloading security, we propose a trustworthy access control using the Temporal Difference Deep Reinforced Secured Offloading model that can safeguard devices against illegal offloading. Then to handle the computation management for addressing the offloading decisions in the queue temporal difference function is applied, therefore improving the smart contract accuracy and precision involved in offloading computational tasks. Evaluation results from experiments and numerical simulations exhibit the notable advantages of the proposed BSOLSC-DRTO method over existing methods.•Develop a Particle Swarm Optimized Lyapunov model to minimize latency and significantly improve throughput.•Proposed a Temporal Difference Deep Reinforced Secured Offloading model for trustworthy access control, protecting devices against illegal offloading

Secure Transactions in IoT Network Using PINN ‐Based Intrusion Detection System and HDPoA Blockchain Protocol

Sourav Mishra, Vijay Kumar Chaurasiya

ABSTRACT IoT is a rapidly developing technology with a wealth of creative application possibilities. However, IoT wireless sensor networks are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks due to their insecure nature. Although network integrity and security have been ensured through the use of distributed ledger and blockchain technologies, privacy preservation concerns frequently arise with traditional approaches. So, deep learning‐based Physics‐informed neural networks (PINN) and Honesty‐based Distributed Proof‐of‐Authority (HDPoA) are developed to enhance transaction security and detect intrusions. Initially, the mobile nodes were deployed in different regions to gather transactions and an intrusion detection system to analyze attacks. First, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) uses a deep learning approach for detecting the intrusion in the network. For that, the collected data from the deployed nodes are pre‐processed using Variational auto‐encoder and min‐max normalization to standardize input dataset values. Then the features are selected using wild horse optimization and classified using PINN to predict data attack or non‐attack. After that, Homomorphic variable tag generation is used for normal transactions with multiple copies in the same document, which are then converted into hash values using the Keccak hashing function. The miner validates transactions based on rank‐based priority. Honesty‐based Distributed Proof‐of‐Authority (HDPoA) was used for network security, making it suitable for deployment in blockchain‐based IoT applications. The proposed deep learning‐based PINN classifier reached 97.2% accuracy and 96.52% specificity. Homomorphic variable (HV) tag generation takes 0.4 s, while the Keccak algorithm takes 0.3 s for hash generation, and the HDPoA protocol has 420 s for block generation time.

A Comprehensive Review on Understanding the Decentralized and Collaborative Approach in Machine Learning

Sarwar Saif, Md. Jahirul Islam, Md. Zihad Bin Jahangir, Parag Biswas · 7 authors

The arrival of Machine Learning (ML) completely changed how we can unlock valuable information from data. Traditional methods, where everything was stored in one place, had big problems with keeping information private, handling large amounts of data, and avoiding unfair advantages. Machine Learning has become a powerful tool that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to overcome these challenges. We started by learning the basics of Machine Learning, including the different types like supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. We also explored the important steps involved, such as preparing the data, choosing the right model, training it, and then checking its performance. Next, we examined some key challenges in Machine Learning, such as models learning too much from specific examples (overfitting), not learning enough (underfitting), and reflecting biases in the data used. Moving beyond centralized systems, we looked at decentralized Machine Learning and its benefits, like keeping data private, getting answers faster, and using a wider variety of data sources. We then focused on a specific type called federated learning, where models are trained without directly sharing sensitive information. Real-world examples from healthcare and finance were used to show how collaborative Machine Learning can solve important problems while still protecting information security. Finally, we discussed challenges like communication efficiency, dealing with different types of data, and security. We also explored using a Zero Trust framework, which provides an extra layer of protection for collaborative Machine Learning systems. This approach is paving the way for a bright future for this groundbreaking technology.

Blockchain-Based Distributed Network Security Architecture with Smart Contract Vulnerability Detection Using Improved Tree CNN

Xia Huo

In the era of big data, information security and privacy protection have become important issues facing today's society. This study proposes a distributed network security architecture based on blockchain to enhance the security of information privacy protection. The proposed architecture consists of three primary levels: equipment layer, network service layer, and application layer. It also integrates smart contracts. In addition, this study also proposes a vulnerability detection method based on improved tree convolutional neural networks. The incorporation of a "continuous binary tree" approach effectively addresses the limitation inherent to conventional tree convolution, wherein the number of nodes is fixed. This refinement enables a more effective capture of the hierarchical structure and semantic nuances inherent to smart contract code. The experiment used multiple datasets, each containing multiple IoT attack types and smart contract vulnerability code snippets. These datasets were evaluated based on a set of criteria, including but not limited to accuracy, recall, F1 scores, gas costs, and execution delays. Experiments have shown that the proposed method performs well in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores compared to existing state-of-the-art methods, with an accuracy range of 89.62% to 98.36%, significantly better than Oyente (about 75%) and Securify (about 85%). Specifically, the proposed method achieved 96.14% accuracy in detecting reentrant attacks, compared to 78% for Oyente and 82% for Securify. The findings indicate that the architectural design exerts a substantial influence on enhancing network security performance, thereby ensuring the stability of the system by effectively mitigating the variability in response time.

Privacy-Preserving Healthcare Data in IoT: A Synergistic Approach with Deep Learning and Blockchain

Behnam Rezaei Bezanjani, Seyyed Hamid Ghafouri, Reza Gholamrezaei

The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in healthcare has revolutionized patient care by enabling real-time monitoring, personalized treatments, and efficient data management. However, this technological advancement introduces significant security risks, particularly concerning the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive medical data. Traditional security measures are often insufficient to address the unique challenges posed by IoT environments, such as heterogeneity, resource constraints, and the need for real-time processing. To tackle these challenges, we propose a comprehensive three-phase security framework designed to enhance the security and reliability of IoT-enabled healthcare systems. In the first phase, the framework assesses the reliability of IoT devices using a reputation-based trust estimation mechanism, which combines device behavior analytics with off-chain data storage to ensure scalability. The second phase integrates blockchain technology with a lightweight proof-of-work mechanism, ensuring data immutability, secure communication, and resistance to unauthorized access. The third phase employs a lightweight Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model for anomaly detection and classification, enabling real-time identification of cyber threats. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms existing methods, achieving a 2% increase in precision, accuracy, and recall, a 5% higher attack detection rate, and a 3% reduction in false alarm rate. These improvements highlight the framework's ability to address critical security concerns while maintaining scalability and real-time performance.
