Abstract
Recently, the internet of things (IoT) has gained popularity as an enabling technology for wireless connectivity of mobile and/or stationary devices providing useful services for the general public in a collaborative manner. Mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs) are regarded as a legacy enabling technology for various IoT applications. Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) and flying ad-hoc networks (FANETs) are specific extensions of MANETs that are drivers of IoT applications. However, IoT is prone to diverse attacks, being branded as the weakest link in the networking chain requiring effective solutions for achieving an acceptable level of security. Blockchain (BC) technology has been identified as an efficient method to remedy IoT security concerns. Therefore, this chapter classifies the attacks targeting IoT, VANETs, and FANETs systems based on their vulnerabilities. This chapter explores a selection of blockchain-based solutions for securing IoT, VANETs, and FANETs and presents open research directions compiled out of the presented solutions as useful guidelines for the readers.

The security and privacy construct mainly describes the perceived credibility (Wang et al., 2003 AU124: The in-text citation "Wang et al., 2003" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ), which is defined as the degree of belief and trust in internet-based products and services to transmit sensitive information (Salisbury et al., 2001 AU125: The in-text citation "Salisbury et al., 2001" is not in the reference list. Please correct the citation, add the reference to the list, or delete the citation. ). In the setting of GB technology, perceived security and privacy is the degree to which a bank customer believes that the GB technology services will be free of security and privacy threats.
