Special Section: AI-Driven Security Solutions for the Internet of Everything AI-Enabled BlockchainBased Access Control for Malicious Attacks Detection and Mitigation in IoE Basudeb Bera and Ashok Kumar Das International Institute of Information Technology Mohammad S. Obaidat University of Sharjah Pandi Vijayakumar University College of Engineering Tindivanam Kuei-Fang Hsiao University of Sharjah YoungHo Park Kyungpook National University Abstract-In Internet of Everything (IoE), malicious attacks detection and mitigation are important issues. These issues can be resolved through an access control framework where two entities first authenticate each other prior to establishing any secret key for their secure communication. The sensing data of various smart devices in an IoE environment are processed securely at the nearby fog servers and at the same time legitimate users can also access the real-time data directly from designated smart devices through access control mechanism. We first discuss various attack trends in an IoE environment. After that, we discuss evolution of the blockchain technology in the IoE. An artificial intelligence based blockchain-envisioned access control framework for malicious attacks detection and mitigation has been suggested to secure the IoE Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MCE.2020.3040541 Date ofpublication 25 November 2020; date ofcurrent version 5 August 2021. 82 2162-2248 ß 2020 IEEE Published by the IEEE Consumer Technology Society IEEE Consumer Electronics Magazine
