What we know
The authors propose TAB-DEN, a framework for IoT healthcare systems that combines a permissioned blockchain with Proof of Authority consensus for decentralized authentication, a hierarchical edge architecture of primary and secondary edge servers that compute trust scores in real time and redirect traffic according to trustworthiness, and deception-based edge nodes acting as honeypot-like environments to attract, isolate and profile attackers. The stated aim is to provide scalable and quantum-resistant security, recording intrusion events through a lattice-based post-quantum signature scheme so that attack records are immutable and verifiable on the distributed ledger.
