Overview of related references from the literature.
| Paper Ref. | Description |
|---|---|
| Wang et al. [7] | The authors reported significant interoperability and information security challenges impacting the IoT and IIoT. They proposed to converge BCT to overcome the difficulties identified. |
| Müller and Voigt [8] | A case study revealed that insufficient data quality, security, and inconsistent standards are significant challenges against the successful implementation of supply chain use cases for the industry 4.0 capabilities. |
| Panarello et al. [9] | The authors studied IoT and smart manufacturing from the information security perspective and suggested adopting BCT to improve data confidentiality, integrity, availability, ensure source authentication and guarantee non-repudiation. |
| Mohamed and Al-Jaroodi[10] | The authors highlighted lack of contract automation, inadequate agreement traceability, and insufficient data security as the major factors hampering the innovation in the manufacturing value chain and proposed BCT's unique capabilities to address them. |
| Al-Jaroodi and Mohamed [11] | The authors executed a comprehensive survey to determine BCT utilization in a wide range of business areas. They highlighted the BCT benefits in cost reduction, better visibility on value chains, higher energy efficiency, and better machine utilization. |
| Dai et al. [12] | The authors complemented IoT with BCT to enhance data interoperability, information security, system autonomy, data traceability, and infrastructure reliability. |
| Fernandez-Carames and Fraga-Lamas [13] | The authors focused on practical applications of BCT to smart factories and highlighted significant advantages of adopting BCT in data interoperability, systems scalability, and information security domains. |
| Alladi et al. [14] | The authors reviewed a wide range of blockchain applications from the industry 4.0 and IIoT standpoints. The results indicate increased systems availability and enhanced resiliency against malicious activities. |
