A privacy-preserving Internet of Things device management scheme based on blockchain

Abstract

Blockchain as a new technique has attracted attentions from industry and academics for sharing data across organizations. Many blockchain-based data sharing applications, such as Internet of Things devices management, need privacypreserving access services over encrypted data with dual capabilities. On one hand, they need to keep the sensitive data private such that others cannot trace and infer sensitive data stored in the block. On the other hand, they need to support fine-grained access control both from time and users' attributes. However, to the best of our knowledge, no blockchain systems can support time-bound and attributes-based access with high efficiency. In this article, we propose a privacy-preserving Internet of Things devices management scheme based on blockchain, which provides efficient timebound and attribute-based access and supports key automatic revocation. The analysis and experiments show that our scheme is quite efficient and deployable.

Blockchain as a Middleware for Iot Sensing and Authentication Within Smart Cities: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Non-Repudiation: Contractual con icts and legitimacy are restricted in blockchain-supported smart networks because of the hash-based, smart contract-controlled processing, and storage of data within each block 30 . By optimizing the number of blocks within a given system and restricting outlying variants through mining-based hash-maps, Blockchain offers a non-reputed solution that is con rmative and transaction-validated 31 .…”

“…The varying contractual terms required for smart energy meters and self-driving automobiles are different, and for this reason, contractual dimensions cannot be established by the service provider 39,51 . Besides, the type of information collected by the IoT node should be considered, and while the terms of the smart contract will de ne the access to this data, consumers will also need to be able to maintain control over how and when their data is accessed and used 31,52 .…”

SH-BlockCC: A secure and efficient Internet of things smart home architecture based on cloud computing and blockchain technology

“…With the magnification of the 5G network and edge devices, the blockchain sanctions more expeditious and efficient communication without any single point of failure. 9,10 Because of decentralization nature of blockchain technology, it ascertains scalability and robustness utilizing resources of participating nodes and eliminates the many-to-one traffic. It also diminishes delay to overcome the single-point failure.…”
