Research work

Security architecture

Methodology

Research gap

Proposed approach

Sivaraman et al. [22]

Centralized

Manage and verify the certified devices using the Internet Service Provider

Does not provide security to internal internet environment due to lack of user’s data for analysis

Employ blockchain to manage and verify the certified devices

Copos et al. [23]

Centralized

Check the flow of confidential data using Wireshark for devices

Provide a software specific solution

Does not use any software like Wireshark

Lee et al. [24]

Centralized

Manages firmware updates of embedded devices using blockchain

Does not provide security solution to a small smart home wherein small number of embedded devices are connected to each other

Provide a scalable solution using blockchain

Bull et al. [25]

Centralized

Employ centralized control and configuration using SDN to provide flexible and secure communication

Can be result in the problem of a single point of failure

Support a decentralized solution using blockchain
