Security and Privacy Enhancement in 6G IoT Devices Using Blockchain

In the modern era, the usefulness of sixth-generation (6G) based devices and other devices of the Internet of Things will greatly increase. In distant and sensitive places, aerial surveying is the main application for these instruments. It is concerning that, as technology has advanced, problems with information control and stalking have gotten worse. The approach to enhance the security and privacy of device data based on a 6G network is presented in this study using Blockchain Technology (BCT). An Internet of Things (IoT) application is implemented in a virtual 6G device monitoring system to assess the suggested design. Penta-tope-based Elliptic curve cryptography and SHA are used to secure data storage privacy for the technical information regarding device instructions, authentication, integrity, and 6G device reactions. This information is saved in a cloud platform. Afterward, the information is kept on a public blockchain powered by Ethereum to facilitate smooth BCT transactions. The Ganache platform for BCT, which guarantees data security and privacy, is used by this system. Furthermore, an Ethaline Meta mask wallet is needed to conduct BCT transactions. Thus, the suggested methodology aids in safeguarding data against ciphertext attacks, plaintext attacks, and stalkers. The outcomes validate the proposed approach's security and efficiency compared to the state-of-the-art.
