Abstract

The widespread adoption of data-driven applications in critical infrastructures has arisen with security and privacy concerns. Blockchain has received considerable attention to protect critical infrastructures (e.g., healthcare and transportation) that could be subjected to intentional and unintentional cyberattacks. Blockchain patterns as reusable solutions have been used in critical infrastructure software to fulfill security requirements while delivering reliable and trusted services to citizens. Thus, this work provides a comprehensive review of blockchain patterns to examine how they can steer the advancement of critical infrastructures. Through a critical analysis of existing blockchain pattern literature, we identify realistic limitations, lessons learned and open research issues entirely dedicated to advancing blockchain-based antifragile critical infrastructures.
