                               IEEE Internet of Things Journal

                                         Special Issue on

                     Smart Blockchain for IoT Trust, Security and Privacy

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aims and Scope
The fast development of the Internet of Things (IoT) involves enormous
evolutions of IoT empowered smart systems and applications, using diverse
networks, remote sensors and endpoint appliances. However, these IoT smart
devices may easily receive massive cyber-attacks, facing threats related to
trust, security and privacy (TSP) of the IoT data. The blockchain
technology, representing a decentralized, distributed, shared, and
immutable database ledger that stores registry of assets, provides a
potential solution for the IoT TSP, especially when dealing with
large-scale of heterogeneous data that are collected via smart
sensors/devices, distributed via communication networks and usually
processed in real-time. Over the past few years, smart blockchain
technology has emerged as an area of incredible impact, potential, and
growth, with both the powers from AI and blockchain, ensuring a secure
environment for IoT data communication, computation and storage, for
addressing the IoT TSP issues in both academic and industrial fields.

Smart blockchain extends traditional blockchain technologies with
cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI), offering high-level economy,
adaptivity and autonomy to a blockchain system. Compared with traditional
blockchain techniques, smart blockchain brings extra features to blockchain
systems through data mining, pattern recognition, machine learning and deep
learning on the top of existing blockchain technologies, which show a great
potential to benefit the modern IoT systems. Recently, tremendous efforts
have been made to explore smart blockchain technologies for solving IoT TSP
issues, related to different application fields including cyber security,
smart city, smart grid, wireless sensor networks, mobile communications,
crowdsourcing/crowdsensing, cyber-physical-social systems, and so on.
However, there are still open research problems and challenges for smart
blockchain empowered TSP of IoT:1) What are the key requirements of TSP in
smart blockchain solutions toward modern IoT systems? 2) What are the key
algorithms in smart blockchain platforms for IoT TSP? And 3) How to realize
key applications of smart blockchain with TSP concerns in diversified IoT
environments?

Topics may include (but are not limited to):

• Smart blockchain theories and algorithms for IoT trust, security and
privacy
• Trustworthy IoT data management with smart blockchain
• AI-based data analytics for blockchain intelligence
• Machine/deep learning for blockchain intelligence
• Secure IoT system design based on smart blockchain
• Trust, security and privacy of smart blockchain
• Decentralized and collaborative learning for IoT
• Decentralized computing for IoT trust, security and privacy
• End-edge-cloud computing enabled by smart blockchain in IoT
• Big data analytics based on blockchain in IoT systems
• Performance optimization of blockchains in IoT
• Blockchain related applications for intelligent IoT trust, security and
privacy
