Use cases, design challenges, and future directions in industrial control systems.

Application Domain Objectives/Use Cases Future Directions
Managing IoT Devices [46] Save data coming from meter and smart phone Requires large storage, not time efficient
Smart Home [47] Lightweight security, symmetric encryption employed for smart home Explore applications in other IoT Domain
Secure Energy Trading in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) [48] Maximize economic benefits of credit banks Schemes designed for extreme scenarios with excellent or poor credit values
Electric vehicles cloud and edge [49] Data contribution frequency and energy contribution are applied to achieve the proof of work Hybrid cloud computing and edge computing for center-less trust, collaborative intelligence, and spatio-temporal sensitivity
Distributed control system for edge computing [50] Higher level performing supervision and strategic decisions and lower level having direct control of devices and processes Executive level responsible for process control
BSeIn [51] Secure mutual authentication with access control for industry 4.0 Integrating intra-organizational value networks
Bubbles of trust [52] Secure virtual zones where things can identify and trust each other Cooperation between virtual zones
Blockchain meets IoT [54] scalable access management in IoT Requires adaptable technology for IoT scenarios
Device management scheme on blockchain [55], privacy preserving [56] Sharing of device information without breaching confidentiality Possibility of anonymizing the data, other challenges and solutions include fault tolerance, policy enforcement, non-reputation, trust [57]
