| description | The growing deployment of the Internet of Things (IoT) across various sectors introduces significant security and privacy challenges. Although numerous individual solutions exist, comprehensive frameworks that effectively combine advanced technologies to address evolving threats are lacking. This paper presents the Integrated Adaptive Security Framework for IoT (IASF-IoT), which integrates artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and quantum-resistant cryptography into a unified solution tailored for IoT environments. Central to the framework is an adaptive AI-driven security orchestration mechanism, complemented by blockchain-based identity management, lightweight quantum-resistant protocols, and Digital Twins to predict and proactively mitigate threats. A theoretical performance model and large-scale simulation involving 1000 heterogeneous IoT devices were used to evaluate the framework. Results showed that IASF-IoT achieved detection accuracy between 85% and 99%, with simulated energy consumption remaining below 1.5 mAh per day and response times averaging around 2 s. These findings suggest that the framework offers strong potential for scalable, low-overhead security in resource-constrained IoT environments. |
