摘要

The Internet of Things (IoT) faces increasing security challenges, as traditional encryption-based methods often fail to prevent cyberattacks while maintaining reliable and cost-effective communication. To overcome these issues, this work introduces a security model that enhances existing frameworks by identifying and analyzing malicious data flows, significantly improving IoT network protection. The proposed approach connects blockchain-based Software-Defined Network (SDN) controllers with SDN switches and IoT applications, creating a highly secure and energy-efficient communication system. This framework detects potential threats, minimizes security risks, and improves overall network performance. To support real-time monitoring, two types of messages are introduced: non-contemporary beacons, which inform SDN controllers about network events through blockchain-SDN switches, and encoded statistical beacons, which provide detailed insights for further security analysis. The proposed method demonstrates substantial improvements over existing technologies, including a 76% reduction in network overhead, 82% lower latency, 73% stronger resistance to malicious data flows, 54% higher throughput, 32% less bandwidth usage, 65% faster algorithm execution, and 41% lower memory consumption. These results highlight the effectiveness of the model in providing faster, safer, and more efficient IoT communication.
