Abstract

The integration of IoT into smart cities exposes serious cyber security risks, which old centralized designs would fail to combat. In this paper, the model suggests a unified system that would use AI and block chain technology to protect smart city IoT systems. A lightweight hybrid CNN-LSTM model is used to detect anomalies in real-time at the edge nodes and federated learning with differential privacy can be used to train collaboratively without exposing raw data. Permissioned block chain layer provides tamper-proof records and decentralized management of trust. A query fragment caching algorithm is a resource-optimal query strategy to block chain queries. CIC-IDS2017 and BoT-IoT datasets analysis show 98.6% detection, 97.5% F1-score, 134.6 ms latency, and 2,615 transactions-per-second, and 41% less energy usage than un cached block chain access. The framework is more effective than the current methods in all measures.
