Hyper Metamorphism: Hyper Secure and Trustworthy 5G Networks using Blockchain with IoT
Farooque Hassan Kumbhar, Syed Taha Ali · 2023
5G wireless networks, Internet of Things (IoT), Blockchain and autonomous communications are transforming from being the tech buzzwords towards a hyper-connected, high-quality life and business applications. Integration of the research trends into a problem-solving, working, impact-full application requires efficient systems. With swift 5G wireless networks, the autonomous device communications share local and global resources with each other. However, autonomous sharing requires a certain level of trust management among devices. Social Internet of Things (SIoT) envisions a decentralized approach to quantify device trust, stored in the devices. In this article, we present and propose a hybrid network where the trust value must be globalized by utilizing the blockchain. We discuss a hyper-connected, co-existing paradigm of autonomous trust management locally and globally. Each device can calculate, manage and share trust values under a tightly scrutinized and secure system. Our physical experiments deduce that higher reward (ether value) from 5.3×10−5to 216.3×10−5reduces transaction time from 25 to 5 seconds.The increase in simultaneous requests also plays a role in increasing latency from 250 to 275 ms for 1 to 10 requests. However, the cost of the proposed solution is the transaction latency increases of approximately 2s.
