Abstract

Ensuring secure and intelligent environments is essential for advancing IoT applications like digital healthcare and Industry 4.0. These environments must support ubiquitous digital services for users while meeting critical security, privacy, and low latency requirements. This paper presents a summary of the dissertation [1], focusing on three main contributions: i) a lightweight biometrics-based user authentication mechanism tailored for innovative healthcare environments without the need for gadgets, ii) a conceptual three-tier approach for secure node bootstrapping and secure user access to digital services, and iii) a Blockchain and Edge computing-based network architecture designed for IIoT applications. This architecture addresses crucial needs such as low-latency communication, trust management, and enhanced security. Performance evaluations of the proposed frameworks provide valuable insights into enabling secure hyperconnected environments for diverse applications in the future.
