Summary: The Internet of things (IoT) devices are vulnerable to attacks due to lack of trust and coordination mechanisms. Blockchain provides low-cost credible communication for IoT nodes. However, traditional digital signature algorithms are not secure enough against quantum computing attacks. Therefore, we propose a quantum-assisted blockchain of things (QBoT) based on quantum signature to protect IoT systems and ensure secure communication between nodes.

Summary: Smart fire detection and insurance systems have attracted significant attention, but there is a lack of literature on automatic fire brigade services and instant claims settlement to prevent insurance frauds. In this study, a trusted fire brigade service and insurance claim framework called FLAME is proposed, utilizing blockchain technology. A system model, sensing network, connectivity model, and smart contracts are presented to explain the architecture and functionality of FLAME. The prototype implemented on hyperledger besu blockchain shows better latency and throughput compared to existing models.

Summary: The Internet of Things (IoT) relies on secure and reliable data communication based on public-key cryptosystems, but the emergence of quantum computers poses a risk to the security of existing cryptographic primitives. Therefore, the transition to quantum-safe primitives is essential to ensure data security. Postquantum signatures like hash-based signature (HBS) schemes are investigated for IoT security in the quantum era, emphasizing on construction parameters, strengths, and weaknesses. This article also outlines the challenges and recommendations for IoT ecosystem in preparation for the quantum world.
