Abstract Information security has emerged as a crucial consideration over the past decade due to escalating cyber security threats, with Internet of Things (IoT) security gaining particular attention due to its role in data communication across various industries. However, IoT devices, typically low-powered, are susceptible to cyber threats. Conversely, blockchain has emerged as a robust solution to secure these devices due to its decentralised nature. Nevertheless, the fusion of blockchain and IoT technologies is challenging due to performance bottlenecks, network scalability limitations, and blockchain-specific security vulnerabilities. Blockchain, on the other hand, is a recently emerged information… More >

Abstract The advent of the latest technologies like the Internet of things (IoT) transforms the world from a manual to an automated way of lifestyle. Meanwhile, IoT sector open numerous security challenges. In traditional networks, intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) have been the key player in the market to ensure security. The challenges to the conventional IDPS are implementation cost, computing power, processing delay, and scalability. Further, online machine learning model training has been an issue. All these challenges still question the IoT network security. There has been a lot of research for IoT based… More >
