Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the recent innovations in Information Technology, which intends to interconnect the physical and digital worlds. It introduces a vision of smartness by enabling communication between objects and humans through the Internet. IoT has diverse applications in almost all sectors like Smart Health, Smart Transportation, and Smart Cities, etc. In healthcare applications, IoT eases communication between doctors and patients as the latter can be diagnosed remotely in emergency scenarios through body sensor networks and wearable sensors. However, using IoT in healthcare systems can lead to violation of the privacy of patients. Thus, security should be taken into consideration. Blockchain is one of the trending research topics nowadays and can be applied to the majority of IoT scenarios. Few major reasons for using the Blockchain in healthcare systems are its prominent features, i.e., Decentralization, Immutability, Security and Privacy, and Transparency. This paper’s main objective was to enhance the functionality of healthcare systems using emerging and innovative computer technologies like IoT and Blockchain. So, initially, a brief introduction to the basic concepts of IoT and Blockchain is provided. After this, the applicability of IoT and Blockchain in the medical sector is explored in three major areas—drug traceability, remote patient-monitoring, and medical record management. At last, the challenges of deploying IoT and Blockchain in healthcare systems are discussed.

Main Challenge

Nowhere do the technology advancements bring improvements than in the healthcare sector, constantly creating new healthcare applications and systems which completely revolutionize the healthcare domain. The appearance of Internet of Things (IoT) based healthcare systems has immensely improved quality and delivery of care, and significantly reduced the costs. At the same time, these systems generate the enormous amount of health-associated data which has to be properly gathered, analyzed and shared. The smart devices, as the components of IoT-driven healthcare systems, are not able to deal with IoT-produced data, neither data posting to the Cloud is the appropriate solution. To overcome smart devices’ and Cloud’s limitations the new paradigm, known as Fog computing, has appeared, where an additional layer processes the data and sends the results to the Cloud. Despite numerous benefits Fog computing brings into IoT-based environments, the privacy and security issues remain the main challenge for its implementation. The reasons for integrating the IoT-based healthcare system and Fog computing, benefits and challenges, as well as the proposition of simple low-cost system are presented in this paper.

In establishing a healthy environment for connectivity devices, it is essential to ensure that privacy and security of connectivity devices are well protected. The modern world lives on data, information, and connectivity. Various kinds of sensors and edge devices stream large volumes of data to the cloud platform for storing, processing, and deriving insights. An internet of things (IoT) system poses certain difficulties in discretely identifying, remotely configuring, and controlling the devices, and in the safe transmission of data. Mutual authentication of devices and networks is crucial to initiate secure communication. It is important to keep the data in a secure manner during transmission and in store. Remotely operated devices help to monitor, control, and manage the IoT system efficiently. This chapter presents a review of the approaches and methodologies employed for certificate provisioning, device onboarding, monitoring, managing, and configuring of IoT systems. It also examines the real time challenges and limitations in and future scope for IoT systems.

Internet of Things network today naturally is one of the huge quantities of devices from sensors linked through the communication framework to give value added service to the society and mankind. That allows equipment to be connected at anytime with anything rather using network and service. By 2020 there will be 50 to 100 billion devices connected to Internet and will generate heavy data that is to be analyzed for knowledge mining is a forecast. The data collected from individual devices of IoT is not going to give sufficient information to perform any type of analysis like disaster management, sentiment analysis, and smart cities and on surveillance. Privacy and Security related research increasing from last few years. IoT generated data is very huge, and the existing mechanisms like k- anonymity, l-diversity and differential privacy were not able to address these personal privacy issues because the Internet of Things Era is more vulnerable than the Internet Era [10][20]. To solve the personal privacy related problems researchers and IT professionals have to pay more attention to derive policies and to address the key issues of personal privacy preservation, so the utility and trade off will be increased to the Internet of Things applications. Personal Privacy Preserving Data Publication (PPPDP) is the area where the problems are identified and fixed in this IoT Era to ensure better personal privacy.

The Internet Of Things

The Internet of Things is a rapidly growing paradigm for smart cities that provides a way of communication, identification, and sensing capabilities among physically distributed devices. With the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoTs), user dependence on smart systems and services, such as smart appliances, smartphone, security, and healthcare applications, has been increased. This demands secure authentication mechanisms to preserve the users’ privacy when interacting with smart devices. This paper proposes a heterogeneous framework “ADLAuth” for passive and implicit authentication of the user using either a smartphone’s built-in sensor or wearable sensors by analyzing the physical activity patterns of the users. Multiclass machine learning algorithms are applied to users’ identity verification. Analyses are performed on three different datasets of heterogeneous sensors for a diverse number of activities. A series of experiments have been performed to test the effectiveness of the proposed framework. The results demonstrate the better performance of the proposed scheme compared to existing work for user authentication.

In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey for the artificial intelligence and spectrum management, which are used for cache-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) in smart cities. In smart cities, there emerge a lot of new applications such as data collection and communication, environment monitoring, and real-time processing, which cannot be supported by the conventional wireless transmission techniques. Hence, some new wireless transmission techniques should be developed to support the emerging applications in smart cities. In this survey, we focus on the artificial intelligence, spectrum management, and caching techniques, where the interference arises due to the limited spectrum resources. In particular, we first review the current research status of these new techniques and, then, give some challenges on the system design. We further provide several feasible solutions on these challenges, in order to implement the IoT networks in smart cities. Finally, we conclude the work in the part of conclusions and give some discussions on the future works.
