The Internet of Things (IoT) industry is growing very fast to transform factories, homes, farms and practically everything else to make them efficient and intelligent. IoT is applied in different resilient scenarios and applications. IoT faces lots of challenges due to lack of computational power, battery and storage resources. Fortunately, the rise of blockchain technology facilitates IoT in many security solutions. Using blockchain, communication between IoT and emerging computing technologies is made efficient. In this work, we propose a secure service provisioning scheme with a fair payment system for Lightweight Clients (LCs) based on blockchain. Furthermore, an incentive mechanism based on reputation is proposed. We use consortium blockchain with the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism. Furthermore, we use Smart Contracts (SCs) to validate the services provided by the Service Providers (SPs) to the LCs, transfer cryptocurrency to the SPs and maintain the reputation of the SPs. Moreover, the Keccak256 hashing algorithm is used for converting the data of arbitrary size to the hash of fixed size. AES128 encryption technique is used to encrypt service codes before sending to the LCs. The simulation results show that the LCs receive validated services from the SPs at an affordable cost. The results also depict that the participation rate of SPs is increased because of the incentive mechanism.

Blockchain se ha convertido en una tecnología disruptiva que tiene la capacidad de transformar la industria agroalimentaria, puesto que promete resolver muchos problemas relacionados con la falta de confianza en la trazabilidad y el producto que adquieren los consumidores. Sin embargo, las partes implicadas en la cadena de suministro de productos agroalimentarios son numerosas y están físicamente dispersas, lo que dificulta el manejo de datos e información. Como resultado, el proceso de producción no es transparente y la confianza es difícil de construir.Para ser más exitosas en la economía globalizada actual, las cooperativas deben focalizarse en ofrecer mayor transparencia. Este documento propone un sistema de trazabilidad para una cooperativa agrícola basado en la tecnología blockchain, para resolver la crisis de confianza en la cadena de suministro de los productos agroalimentarios. La aplicación de técnicas de blockchain a la trazabilidad del producto agrario no solo amplía el dominio de la aplicación de la tecnología blockchain, sino que también apoya la generación de confianza entre los diferentes agentes de la cadena. Se exploran las posibles implicaciones del blockchain para los alimentos frescos mediante el desarrollo de una prueba de concepto (PoC) en el ámbito de la trazabilidad agroalimentaria, incorporando, además, la tecnología de los contratos inteligentes. Los hallazgos de la investigación contribuyen a una mejor comprensión de la tecnología blockchain para las diversas partes interesadas en la cadena de alimentos frescos, especialmente para las cooperativas, siendo una oportunidad para la mejora de la reputación y competitividad en una economía altamente globalizada.

This paper introduces a fully decentralized low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) infrastructure for the Internet of things (IoT) using the LoRa protocol. While global LPWANs typically require roaming agreements between network providers and a trusted third party for server resolution, we propose a trustless model where the network servers are resolved using a blockchain application. Since LoRaWAN relies on symmetric cryptography, we also propose a new security model that adds non-repudiation using digital signatures. This paves the way for linking devices to decentralized applications. We finally analyze the impact of this new model on message size and energy requirements. KEYWORDS blockchain, distributed systems, Internet of Things, LoRaWAN INTRODUCTIONLow power communication is a major milestone for the Internet of Things (IoT). Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN) technologies seek to provide a large coverage area and a long battery life at the cost of reduced bandwidth compared to legacy cellular networks. LTE network carriers are actively upgrading to newer standards such as NB-IoT or LTE-M to fill this gap. However, this type of service is restricted to telecom operators buying expensive licences in order to use cellular frequencies. A promising alternative is LPWAN running on unlicensed frequency bands. This is characterized by long-range sub-gigahertz radio links and star topologies. 1 In addition to services offered by network providers, unlicensed bands enable individuals and organizations to run their own network without a third party. This creates a rich ecosystem where organizations can build conglomerates of networks in order to reach a wider potentially global coverage. Similarly, it is possible to crowd-source parts of the network such as radio gateways, transceivers that sit between end-devices and a wide area network. An example of such a network isThe Things Network (TTN), 2 a global LoRaWAN data network that leverages radio gateways provided by its community. In TTN, gateways belong to users while network backend servers are managed by TTN itself. We push the crowd-sourced idea further by trying to build a global and fully decentralized IoT network. Among the advantages of a decentralized network are a high resilience against many threats and improved scalability.We propose a solution based on the LoRaWAN protocol and build a prototype of a decentralized IoT network using a blockchain-connected packet forwarding application and off-the-shelf hardware. There have been previous attempts to conceptualize such a decentralized network, 3 but to the best of our knowledge, we released the first practical implementation of such a system using LoRaWAN. 4 Bezahaf et al then proposed an alternative LoRa scheme that solves the fair exchange problem, 5 which is complementary to our previous work. Blockchain technology is a key element of the system, since it makes it possible to build a shared globally synchronized key-value store of network ''join'' servers without the involvement of a trusted party. These ...
