Introduction

ThemisuseofblockchainwithinthedomainofIoT,cyber-physicalsystem(CPS),and

future Information and Communication Technology (ICT) foundation in common

has the potential to empower different capabilities and use-cases in those frame-

works. From a security viewpoint, blockchain innovation can set up conveyed secu-

rity in different to centralized designs [1]. Within the moment put, blockchain’s solid

assurance against information altering makes a difference to avoid a rebel gadget

from disturbing communications including domestic, production line, or transporta-

tion frameworks by infusing or transferring malignant data. Additionally, since

blockchain is built for decentralized control, different checking and choice plans

based on blockchains ought to be more versatile than customary ones [1, 2]. Later

progresses in electronic and remote communication have changed the IoT through

the advancement of scaled-down gadgets that can utilize and oversee the collection

and trade of information. These focal points have empowered the advancement of

little, cost-effective, and more controlled multi-functional detecting stages compe-

tent for checking and communicating different data in different segments, such as

vehicular, health care, industry, and numerous more [3].

The IoT approach is presently combined with inventive calculation to extricate

a bit of profitable data that can be valuable by other physical gadgets making a

CPS. The CPS comprises of physical portion and cyber-part associated through a

communication organize. This framework is profoundly significant to the industry

and other areas like restorative and health care. CPS is presently being connected

through an assortment of businesses; Blockchain has got tremendous attention as

it implies to supply security, secrecy, auditability, and belief. Be that as it may, the

existing blockchain-based arrangements endure some challenges and in this way are

not specifically pertinent in CPS [4].

Because of recent research interests on the importance of blockchain in CPS

and IoT applications, this chapter provides a brief concept about blockchain use in

IoT-based CPS systems. The chapter is organized as follows; Sect. 2 presents the

revolution of CPS in addition to brief history. In Sect. 3, the chapter reviews the

idea of CPS multi-paradigm modeling and characterizations. In Sect. 4, the chapter

provides a methodology of designing the CPS base on the system of systems and the

use of CPS in IoT in Sect. 5. Moreover, the chapter also reviews the blockchain use

in CPS and the framework of blockchain in IoT/CPS in Sects. 6 and 7, respectively.

In Sect. 8, the chapter provides different applications related to blockchain IoT-based

CPS. The challenges of blockchain IoT integration to CPS are reviewed in Sect. 9, in

addition to the effective adoptions’ barriers of blockchain IoT-based CPS in Sect. 10.

Finally, chapter conclusion is given in Sect. 11.
