Anti-Tamper Protection for Internet of Things System Using Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Automated and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) devices are increasing daily. As the number of IoT devices grows, the volume of data generated by them will also grow. Managing these rapidly expanding IoT devices and enormous data efficiently to be available to all authorized users without compromising its integrity will become essential in the near future. On the other side, many information security incidents have been recorded, increasing the requirement for countermeasures. While safeguards against hostile third parties have been commonplace until now, operators and parties have seen an increase in demand for data falsification detection and blocking. Blockchain technology is well-known for its privacy, immutability, and decentralized nature. Single-board computers are becoming more powerful while also becoming more affordable as IoT platforms. These single-board computers are gaining traction in the automation industry. This study focuses on a paradigm of IoT-Blockchain integration where the blockchain node runs autonomously on the IoT platform itself. It enables the system to conduct machine-to-machine transactions without the intervention of a person and to exert direct access control over IoT devices. This paper assumed that the readers are familiar with Hyperledger Fabric basic operations and focus on the practical approach of integration. A basic introduction is provided for the newbie on the blockchain.

Blockchain-Based Secure and Efficient Secret Image Sharing With Outsourcing Computation in Wireless Networks

“…Compared with the traditional secret sharing schemes without blockchain [41], [53]- [57]], our scheme has the following unique advantages in terms of the security performance. (1) Anti-tampering ability to verify the validity of the data [58]- [60], (2) the transparency of allowing nodes in the network to obtain information [61], [62], and (3) the interactivity of multi-party security cooperation without a third-party organization [63]- [65]. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel secure and efficient SIS scheme based on the blockchain.…”
