【Abstract】DoS, GH, Sybil, Masquerading, Spoofing, Man in the Middle, etc. constantly attack IoT networks. Internal or external attacks reduce end-to-end delay, throughput, energy use, and other metrics. To counter these attacks, researchers have proposed a number of security & privacy mechanisms with varying computational complexity and security levels. Immutability, traceability, transparency, and distributed nature make blockchain-based models secure. QoS depends on blockchain length, so these models aren't scalable. Researchers say sidechaining improves QoS while remaining secure. Splitting or merging complex sidechains requires machine learning. Low-power IoT networks can't use models. This text suggests a lightweight MGWO Model that helps establish initial routes by choosing high-trust nodes, reducing sidechaining power consumption, and incorporating fault-aware trust establishment. MGWO Model determines blockchain piece count for high QoS. MGWO Model uses Q-Learning to detect network faults. Fault identification is controlled by a stochastically modelled and activated Intrinsic Genetic Algorithm (IGA). Q-Learning, MGWO, and IGA can mitigate Sybil, Masquerading, Grey Hole, DDoS, and MITM attacks. Even when attacked, the proposed model maintains high QoS, improving real-time deployment efficiency. The proposed model improves energy efficiency by 15.9%, throughput by 10.6%, communication speed by 8.3%, and packet delivery by 0.8% for different network scenarios.
