Abstract

This paper proposes an extensible Blockchain-Based Industrial Anomaly Detection (BIAD) system for industrial scenarios. This approach is to use Blockchain to prevent a set of attacks at semi-real time by comparing logs. Besides, this solution regards attacker firmware modifications following the same comparison principle within the same infrastructure.
