【Abstract】The Internet of Things (IoT) network is rapidly expanding due to sudden technological advancements, which enable objects to become intelligent and contribute to the network. Before permitting a newly added IoT device to communicate with the network, it is essential to provide access and authenticate the device's legitimacy by ensuring that it has not been tampered. Recently, blockchain technology has been integrated into Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) protocols to supply a more robust security mechanism for access control in IoT. The IoT and blockchain-based ABAC serve as the foundation of this survey, offering a comprehensive introduction to both topics. Additionally, several security concerns and vulnerabilities associated with Blockchain Envisioned ABAC (BE-ABAC) are presented. A Comparison with related surveys has also been made. Besides, we also present a comparative analysis based on evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS) to rank the best schemes among the suggested BE-ABAC schemes. In conclusion, we discuss some open research challenges in an IoT network that uses blockchain to manage access control.
