dc.description.abstract | 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. | en_GB |
