A Systematic Mapping Study on Blockchain Technology for Digital Protection of Communication with Industrial Control
share
In the next few years, Blockchain will play a central role in IoT as a technology. It enables the traceability of processes between multiple parties independent of a central instance. Blockchain allows to make the processes more transparent, cheaper, and safer. This research paper was conducted as systematic literature search. Our aim is to understand current state of implementation in context of Blockchain Technology for digital protection of communication in industrial cyber-physical systems. We have extracted 28 primary papers from scientific databases and classified into different categories using visualizations. The results show that the focus in around 14% papers is on solution proposal and implementation of use cases "Secure transfer of order data" using Ethereum Blockchain, 7% papers applying Hyperledger Fabric and Multichain. The majority of research (around 43%) is focusing on solution development for supply chain and process traceability.
