Abstract

Cybersecurity  is an inherent characteristic that should be addressed before the large deployment of smart city applications. Recently, Blockchain appears as a promising technology to provide several cybersecurity aspects of smart city applications. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the existing blockchain-based solutions for the cybersecurity of the main smart city applications, namely smart healthcare, smart transportation, smart agriculture, supply chain management, smart grid, and smart homes. We describe the existing solutions and we discuss their merits and limits. Moreover, we define the security requirements of each smart city application and we give a mapping of the studied solutions to these defined requirements. Additionally, future directions are given. We believe that the present survey is a good starting point for every researcher in the fields of cybersecurity, blockchain, and smart cities.

The Application of Blockchain Technology to Smart City Infrastructure
Mohammed Alnahari

Smart Cities

A smart city can be defined as an integration of systems comprising a plethora of task-oriented technologies that aim to evolve and advance with city and infrastructure needs while providing services to citizens and resolving urban challenges through intersystem and data-driven analytical means, with minimal human intervention. Applications of technology include management, operations, and finance. One such technology is Blockchain. A main advantage of Blockchain is the simplification of processes that are costly and time-consuming. This is accomplished by simplifying operations to minimize costs resulting from the decentralization of assets. Blockchain has been proven to facilitate transparency, security, and the elimination of data fragmentation. However, as a relatively new technology, it poses regulatory obstacles. This issue can be attributed to the fact that many infrastructural governing organizations have incomplete knowledge of their infrastructure, which can lead to confus...

A Comparative Analysis on Blockchain versus Centralized Authentication Architectures for IoT-Enabled Smart Devices in Smart Cities: A Comprehensive Review, Recent Advances, and Future Research Directions
Chin-Ling Chen

Sensors

Smart devices have become an essential part of the architectures such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs), and Internet of Everything (IoE). In contrast, these architectures constitute a system to realize the concept of smart cities and, ultimately, a smart planet. The adoption of these smart devices expands to different cyber-physical systems in smart city architecture, i.e., smart houses, smart healthcare, smart transportation, smart grid, smart agriculture, etc. The edge of the network connects these smart devices (sensors, aggregators, and actuators) that can operate in the physical environment and collects the data, which is further used to make an informed decision through actuation. Here, the security of these devices is immensely important, specifically from an authentication standpoint, as in the case of unauthenticated/malicious assets, the whole infrastructure would be at stake. We provide an updated review of authentication mechanisms by catego...

Empowering smart city governance through decentralized blockchain solutions for security and privacy in IoT communications
DR SAIDATUL IZYANIE KAMARUDIN

Bulletin of Social Informatics Theory and Application, 2023

This paper highlights the benefits and challenges of smart cities, which leverage technology to offer a wide range of services to citizens. While these services have the potential to greatly improve the quality of life in metropolitan areas, they also raise significant privacy and security concerns. The study emphasizes the need to employ "privacy by design" principles to ensure that personal data is protected throughout the entire lifecycle of data, and data owners have the selfcontrol to manage their data according to their preferences. Smart contracts, built on blockchain technology, offer a secure and transparent way of conducting transactions, particularly in e-governance, and automating processes. By leveraging these technologies, smart cities can address the privacy and security challenges they face while continuing to offer cutting-edge services to their inhabitants. Ultimately, the study emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach to privacy and security in the development and implementation of smart cities.

Blockchain Technology Application Areas in the Smart City Information Systems
Stojan Ivanisevic

3rd International Scientific Conference ITEMA Recent Advances in Information Technology Tourism Economics Management and Agriculture, 2019

By cross-referencing benefits of blockchain technologies and critical issues and weak points of smart city information systems, one may conclude that blockchain systems are just the right solution for smart city information systems. However, this may not be true and applicable generally let alone universally. Traditional information system requires an increased level of security and availability of service when they have to be exposed to the public and used by the tens of thousands of inhabitants within a city. On the other hand, blockchain technologies offer a completely new combination of technologies to solve security and reliability issues as well as the availability of service and failsafe tolerance. The scope of this work is to analyse literature as well as available use cases to detect areas of a successful application for information systems that are using blockchain in the smart city.

Security and privacy in smart city: a secure e-voting system based on blockchain
International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE)

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2023

In recent years, the internet of things (IoT) growth has brought about many technological changes, including the emergence of the notion of the smart city. The development of a smart city requires the integration of IoT devices and information and communication technologies to improve the quality of lives of citizens in many areas such as health, economy, business, agriculture, and transport. However, with this evolution, many cybersecurity risks and challenges have been raised, so it is necessary to develop these technologies in a protected way to avoid being compromised by attackers. Blockchain, being a new technology based on cryptographic principles, can play an important role in securing smart cities. In this survey, we discussed different applications of blockchain technology in smart cities and also studied how blockchain features (transparency, democracy, decentralization, and security) can help in the improvement of smart city services. This analysis will help us to implement an electronic voting model using a smart contract based on the Ethereum blockchain to highlight how blockchain technology can be implemented in smart cities to promote security.

Typically, when a healthcare provider fails to give reasonable treatment to a patient which could causes injury, death or overcharges then its termed as medical malpractice. The medical negligence and cut practice are prevalent in developing and developed societies in one form or other. In the past there has been unfortunate case where doctors pretend to give treatment to an already expired patient to overcharge and even in some cases hospital authorities try to influence postmortem reports in their favor to avoid any medico-legal case. This paper attempts to provide a solution to restrict such medical malpractices in case of critically ill patients admitted to ICU having cancer, heart attack, coronary bypass surgery etc. The paper suggests building a permissioned private Blockchain solution with the help of Cloud, IoT, wearable devices and smart medical devices fitted with sensors. The Cloud based system will receive vital health parameters of patient with help of wearable and sensors devices on regular interval of time which is configurable and append new hash block to immutable Blockchain ledger using cryptographic hash function. It will provide role-based access to all the ecosystem partners for due diligence in the case of any unfortunate events.

Blockchain and smart city
Abderahman Rejeb, Horst Treiblmaier

The term "Smart City" denotes a comprehensive concept to alleviate pending problems of modern urban areas which have developed into an important work field for practitioners and scholars alike. However, the question remains as to how cities can become "smart". The application of information technology is generally considered a key driver in the "smartization" of cities. Detailed frameworks and procedures are therefore needed to guide, operationalize, and measure the implementation process as well as the impact of the respective technologies. In this paper, we discuss blockchain technology, a novel driver of technological transformation that comprises a multitude of underlying technologies and protocols, and its potential impact on smart cities. We specifically address the question of how blockchain technology may benefit the development of urban areas. Based on a comprehensive literature review, we present a framework and research propositions. We identify nine application fields of blockchain technology in the smartization of cities: (1) healthcare, (2) logistics and supply chains, (3) mobility, (4) energy, (5) administration and services, (6) e-voting, (7) factory, (8) home and (9) education. We discuss current developments in these fields, illustrate how they are affected by blockchain technology and derive propositions to guide future research endeavors.

IJEER, 2022

A smart city is a comprehensive concept created by multiple digital industries. Smart city is a new generation of information technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and geospatial information to promote smart new ideas for urban planning, construction, management and services, power city operation and administrative management, industrial development, and public services in various fields. It is a modern high-end urban development form. A smart city is to establish a city center system by connecting terminals, applying information technology and network, and ultimately promoting the efficiency improvement and economic structure optimization in various fields. However, in the construction of smart cities, due to the sharing of a large amount of data, a lot of data leakage is caused, and data protection faces many challenges. The article first introduces the structure of smart cities, the challenges faced by smart cities in data protection and data privacy protection; then summarizes the characteristics, applications, and challenges of blockchain technology in the application of blockchain in smart cities, and makes reference to references. The corresponding comparisons are made, and the future challenges are finally summarized and proposed.
