Abstract
In recent years, blockchain technology has gained prominence beyond cryptocurrencies, finding applications in smart grids and the Internet of Things (IoT). With advancements in AI and next-generation networks, IoT device applications have expanded, requiring high computational resources and reliable data transmission. This study explores the use of 5G/6G communication networks and network slicing to enhance IoT-enabled environments. We propose a model integrating blockchain-based context-aware user authentication, handover, and secure network slicing to manage load and secure data forwarding in 6G networks. Performance evaluations show that our model outperforms existing blockchain-based techniques. The proposed model improves latency by approximately 17.33% compared to the existing model.
