This surge raises serious concerns about the secure storage of sensitive data for e.g., biometric information (e.g., fingerprints and facial recognition) and medical records etc. The centralized cloud computing paradigm provides various cost-effective services to IoT applications users. Despite of various benefits of centralized cloud, it fails to adequately meet the strict latency and security requirement of various IoT applications. Fog computing is proposed to enhance the real-time data processing for various latency sensitive IoT applications by extending the cloud computing services closer to the data sources. In this paper we proposed a novel blockchain based distributed fog computing model that ensures secure distributed storage for various IoT data. The blockchain network acts a trusted third party aimed at establishing secure communication among IoT devices and fog node within the fog layer. It details a distinctive Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) protocol for reliable and secure data storage and retrieval based on requests and responses from heterogeneous IoT devices. Additionally, a Merkle tree-based data structure is used to verify data integrity, ensuring secure and tamper-proof data management within the blockchain-enabled fog computing framework. It provides a formal security proof using AVISPA tools for the proposed scheme, ensuring that it meets the necessary security standards and can be trusted for protecting sensitive IoT data. Finally, the proposed scheme is compared with existing security schemes, such as AES, ABE, RSA, and Hybrid RSA in terms of resource utilization, computational cost, communication cost and execution cost.

A principal obstacle stems from the absence of a seamless integration between predictive concepts and blockchain technology. This deficiency is attributed to a failure to consider the inherent characteristics of blockchain when developing solutions aimed at improving predictive capabilities within blockchain-based systems. Many existing predictive approaches function externally to the fundamental blockchain framework, rendering them impractical. This has caused the idea of predictive contracts to be seen as unfeasible due to the character of blockchain smart contracts making it hard to do so. This includes its immutability and the inability for changes to be made once deployed. In this research, we introduce the concept of blockchain-based predictive contracting which stems from the theoretical idea of predictive contracting, and substantiate the feasibility of our approach, enabling blockchain smart contracts to adapt to changes in external environments upon which they depend. We attempt to achieve and prove the first phase of this idea, which we term “recalibration”. Here we provide a means for deployed smart contracts to become structurally changeable while responding to external situations without compromising their security. This we believe is the first phase needed for blockchain smart contracts before they can become predictable. Our approach capitalizes on the key-pair structure scheme utilized in existing blockchain systems to create a data signature, facilitating the identification of new smart contracts. We establish rules encompassing a configuration mechanism, empowering smart contracts to recognize newly-introduced agreements. Additionally, we implement an encoding system to enable the blockchain to respond to dynamic data. This we believe will provide a means for blockchain to be used well in industrial applications such as supply aircraft delivery networks and supply chain networks. To anticipate future scenarios, we devise a multi-versioning system that allows smart contracts to evolve over time. Our innovative concept is also demonstrated within a blockchain-based smart contract prediction scheme, ensuring the adaptability of blockchain-based smart contracts. This scheme comprises a smart contract tracing mechanism, an effective smart contract transitioning procedure, and a protocol for generating new smart contracting terms and conditions while preserving inherent trust within the system. Through extensive experimentation, involving opcode and smart contract ID extraction, Solidity Word2Vec model development, a blockchain-based embedding process, and smart contract versioning detection, we introduce the concept of blockchain-based predictive smart contracts.

Recently, digital twin (DT) technology (which refers to a virtual representation of a product, process, or environment) has emerged as a suitable candidate to address the security challenges faced by dynamic CPSs. DT has the capability of strengthening the security of CPSs by continuously mapping the physical to twin counterparts to detect inconsistencies. The existing DT-based security solutions are constrained by untrustworthy data dissemination as well as limited data sharing among the involved stakeholders, which, in turn, limit the ability of DTs to run accurate simulations or make valid decisions. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a modular framework called <strong>TR</strong>usted and <strong>I</strong>ntelligent cyber-<strong>P</strong>hysica<strong>L</strong> syst<strong>E</strong>m (TRIPLE), that leverages blockchain, DTs, and threat intelligence (TI) to secure CPSs. The blockchain-based DT components in the framework provide data integrity, traceability, and availability for trusted DTs. Furthermore, to accurately and comprehensively model system states, the framework envisions fusing process knowledge for modeling DTs from system specification-based and learning-based information and other sources, including infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and knowledge base (KB). The framework also integrates TI for future-proofing against emerging threats, such that threats can be detected either reactively by mapping the behavior of physical and virtual spaces or proactively by TI and threat hunting.

This ontology enables the construction of a knowledge graph that contains system engineering data to which we can apply reasoning. We also developed several tools to support system engineering during the design of workflows, their enactment, and artefact storage, considering versioning, querying and reasoning on the stored data. These tools also hide the complexity of manipulating the knowledge graph directly.
