  • The Internet of Things has attracted considerable research attention in recent years. In order for the new IoT technology to be widely used, the reliability and protection of information is required. IoT systems are very vulnerable to physical security due to their easy accessibility. Along with the development of SoC technology, many operating systems have been developed and many new operating systems have been introduced. In this paper, we describe the vulnerability analysis results for operating systems running on the ARMv7 Thumb Architecture hardware platform. For the recently introduced "Windows 10 IoT Core" operating system, I implemented the Zero-Day Attack by implanting the penetration code developed through the research into a specific IoT system. The virus detection test for the resulting penetration code was validated by referral to the "virustotal" site.

  • Resource allocation is one of the top challenges in Internet of Things (IoT) networks. This is due to the scarcity of computing, energy and communication resources in IoT devices. As a result, IoT devices that are not using efficient algorithms for resource allocation may cause applications to fail and devices to get shut down. Owing to this challenge, this paper proposes a novel algorithm for managing computing resources in IoT network. The fog computing devices are placed near the network edge and IoT devices send their large tasks to them for computing. The goal of the algorithm is to conserve energy of both IoT nodes and the fog nodes such that all tasks are computed within a deadline. A bi-partite graph-based algorithm is proposed for stable matching of tasks and fog node computing units. The output of the algorithm is a stable mapping between the IoT tasks and fog computing units. Simulation results are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm which proves the improvement in terms of energy efficiency and task delay.

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) is a rapidly growing physical network that depends on objects, vehicles, sensors, and smart devices. IoT has recently become an important research topic as it autonomously acquires, integrates, communicates, and shares data directly across each other. The centralized architecture of IoT makes it complex to concurrently access control them and presents a new set of technological limitations when trying to manage them globally. This paper proposes a new decentralized access control architecture to manage IoT devices using blockchain, that proposes a solution to concurrency management problems and enhances resource locking to reduce the transaction conflict and avoids deadlock problems. In addition, the proposed algorithm improves performance using a fully distributed access control system for IoT based on blockchain technology. Finally, a performance comparison is provided between the proposed solution and the existing access management solutions in IoT. Deadlock detection is evaluated with the latency of requesting in order to examine various configurations of our solution for increasing scalability. The main goal of the proposed solution is concurrency problem avoidance in decentralized access control management for IoT devices.

  • As the IoT communication environment has been established, communications that utilize not only high-spec machines but also low-spec machines are increasing, but security threats are increasing, too. In recent times, a lot of papers have attempted to reduce the weight of IP layer security techniques such as IPsec and IKEv2 for low-spec machines. Typically, Smyslov proposed Lightweight IKEv2 protocol which is used in IoT environment. However, This proposed protocol had compatibility problem with IKEv2 protocol, So, It is hard to be expected to be used in IoT communication environment. Unlike the Smyslov's protocol, this paper proposed Lightweight IKEv2 protocol which can be compatible of IKEv2 protocol and applied lossless compression algorithm to payload. To suggest lightweight IKEv2 protocol, this paper analyzed IKEv2 protocol and existed lightweight IKEv2 protocol. Furthermore, This paper proved that proposed protocol is more efficient than existed lightweight IKEv2 protocol through performance evaluation as a method.

  • Recently, research on intelligent IoT technology has been actively conducted by various companies and research institutes to analyze various data collected from IoT devices and provide it through actual application services. However, security issues such as personal information leakage may arise in the process of transmitting and receiving data to use data collected from IoT devices for research and development. In addition, as data collected from multiple IoT devices increases, data management difficulties exist, and data movement is costly and time consuming. Therefore, in this paper, we intend to develop an Ethereum network-based federated learning system with guaranteed reliability to improve security issues and inefficiencies in a federated learning environment composed of various devices.

  • The creativity of thesis is that the significance of cyber security challenges in blockchain. The variety of enterprises, including those in the medical market, are the targets of cyberattacks. Hospitals and clinics are only two examples of medical facilities that are easy targets for cybercriminals, along with IoT-based medical devices like pacemakers. Cyberattacks in the medical field not only put patients' lives in danger but also have the potential to expose private and sensitive information. Reviewing and looking at the present and historical flaws and vulnerabilities in the blockchain-based IoT and medical institutions' equipment is crucial as they are sensitive, relevant, and of a medical character. This study aims to investigate recent and current weaknesses in medical equipment, of blockchain-based IoT, and institutions. Medical security systems are becoming increasingly crucial in blockchain-based IoT medical devices and digital adoption more broadly. It is gaining importance as a standalone medical device. Currently the use of software in medical market is growing exponentially and many countries have already set guidelines for quality control. The achievements of the thesis are medical equipment of blockchain-based IoT no longer exist in a vacuum, thanks to technical improvements and the emergence of electronic health records (EHRs). Increased EHR use among providers, as well as the demand for integration and connection technologies to improve clinical workflow, patient care solutions, and overall hospital operations, will fuel significant growth in the blockchain-based IoT market for linked medical devices. The need for blockchain technology and IoT-based medical device to enhance their health IT infrastructure and design and development techniques will only get louder in the future. Blockchain technology will be essential in the future of cybersecurity, because blockchain technology can be significantly improved with the cybersecurity adoption of IoT devices, i.e., via remote monitoring, reducing waiting time for emergency rooms, track assets, etc. This paper sheds the light on the benefits of the blockchain-based IoT market.
