A survey on blockchain based IoT forensic evidence preservation: research trends and current challenges

연구 분야: Analysis

학회: Multimedia Tools and Applications

Internet-of-Things and blockchain technology are surging technologies that enhance the digital world by reusability of current network architecture. Internet-of-Things has cooperated with the objects and things surrounding us daily, maintaining intelligent and internet-connected communication between them that captures a massive amount of physical data that integrates the digital and physical worlds. Due to concerns about the privacy and security of the Internet-of-Things, IoT devices lead to require the decentralised data storage. Hence, blockchain comes into play that provides a secure and trustworthy platform for IoT devices providing security, transparency, privacy, authentication, etc. This work investigates the mobility of blockchain with context of digital evidence preservation. Blockchain technology comes up as another level in research and technology to work with the emergence in various fields and internet-of-things forensics yet to be discovered. The motivation of this study is to particularly review research and studies in the field of blockchain-based evidence preservation in IoT forensics. A systematic research technique used to complete the review followed regulations in conducting standardized yet exploratory analyses.
