arXiv:2606. 05701v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing adoption of distributed infrastructure systems, cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and edge-based architectures has significantly expanded the cybersecurity attack surface and introduced increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
The paper reviews four studies that combine blockchain and AI to secure data sharing, model integrity, and autonomous decision-making in distributed systems. It highlights how blockchain’s immutability, decentralized consensus, and verifiable provenance can address trust gaps in training data, real‑time monitoring, and automated code remediation. The authors propose a layered architecture integrating hardened models, blockchain‑anchored provenance, AI anomaly detection, and smart‑contract‑governed multi‑agent remediation, and outline open challenges in scalability, privacy‑transparency trade‑offs, and governance.
arXiv:2606. 08173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In sixth-generation (6G) networks, billions of cyber-physical systems (CPSs) - autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial robots, and remote-surgical equipment - will run over ultra-reliable low-latency slices, collapsing the gap between a remote breach and physical harm to milliseconds, a budget perimeter firewalls and centralised security operations centres cannot meet.
