    A Lightweight Blockchain for IoT in Smart City (IoT-SmartChain)

    Zakariae Dlimi*, Abdellah Ezzati, Saïd Ben Alla

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.2, pp. 2687-2703, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.018942 - 21 July 2021

    Abstract The smart city is a technological framework that connects the city’s different components to create new opportunities. This connection is possible with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT), which provides a digital personality to physical objects. Some studies have proposed integrating Blockchain technology with IoT in different use cases as access, orchestration, or replicated storage layer. The majority of connected objects’ capacity limitation makes the use of Blockchain inadequate due to its redundancy and its conventional processing-intensive consensus like PoW. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a NOVEL model of a lightweight… More >

    A Lightweight Certificate-Based Aggregate Signature Scheme Providing Key Insulation

    Yong-Woon Hwang, Im-Yeong Lee*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.2, pp. 1747-1764, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.018549 - 21 July 2021

    Abstract Recently, with the advancement of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), Internet of Things (IoT) has been connected to the cloud and used in industrial sectors, medical environments, and smart grids. However, if data is transmitted in plain text when collecting data in an IoT-cloud environment, it can be exposed to various security threats such as replay attacks and data forgery. Thus, digital signatures are required. Data integrity is ensured when a user (or a device) transmits data using a signature. In addition, the concept of data aggregation is important to efficiently collect data transmitted from… More >

    Anil Kumar Gulivindala1, M. V. A. Raju Bahubalendruni1, R. Chandrasekar1,2, Ejaz Ahmed2, Mustufa Haider Abidi3,*, Abdulrahman Al-Ahmari4

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.2, pp. 2531-2548, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.018014 - 21 July 2021

    Abstract The evolution of Industry 4.0 made it essential to adopt the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud Computing (CC) technologies to perform activities in the new age of manufacturing. These technologies enable collecting, storing, and retrieving essential information from the manufacturing stage. Data collected at sites are shared with others where execution automatedly occurs. The obtained information must be validated at manufacturing to avoid undesirable data losses during the de-manufacturing process. However, information sharing from the assembly level at the manufacturing stage to disassembly at the product end-of-life state is a major concern. The current… More >

    Towards a Dynamic Virtual IoT Network Based on User Requirements

    Faisal Mehmood1, Shabir Ahmad2,3, Israr Ullah1, Faisal Jamil1, DoHyeun Kim1,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.69, No.2, pp. 2231-2244, 2021, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2021.017528 - 21 July 2021

    Abstract The data being generated by the Internet of Things needs to be stored, monitored, and analyzed for maximum IoT resource utilization. Software Defined Networking has been extensively utilized to address issues such as heterogeneity and scalability. However, for small-scale IoT application, sometimes it is considered an inefficient approach. This paper proposes an alternate lightweight mechanism to the design and implementation of a dynamic virtual network based on user requirements. The key idea is to provide users a virtual interface that enables them to reconfigure the communication flow between the sensors and actuators at runtime. The More >
