Abstract

The very existence of smart cities forms the stepping stone in the evolution of many technological advancements in the future era. While smart cities have already grown in their way, the tremendous amount of data generated from them paves the way for new perspectives of development. This is because security and privacy remain to be the major constraint across smart city applications. Further, smart city applications such as smart homes, smart transportation, and smart healthcare are generating a huge amount of data every day and it is often complex to collect and manage all the data together at a single location. To address these constraints, this paper presents a novel and innovative blockchain-assisted federated learning approach for secure data sharing in IoT Smart Cities. Here, we implement a federated learning approach, where the process of learning is made in a distributed fashion. The use of blockchain in turn adds more security and resilience to smart city applications. The security analysis proves that the proposed approach offers comparatively better performance and remains more resistant to various security threats and vulnerabilities.
