Blockchain based Access Control and Data Sharing Systems for Smart Devices

Abstract

Internet-of-Things and Blockchain technology are evolving all around today's modern world to solve many problems such as security, communications, data collection and analysis, etc. However, we also have some issues, such as efficient data sharing, restriction of access, reliable authentication, etc. The proposed framework is designed to solve the problems related to security and authorization in IoT network access control. In addition, the system's aim is to accomplish security, authorizing, and encryption for information exchange through IoT networks. In this article, a novel system is introducing to provide the data sharing system that integrates blockchain based access control system for IoT devices. Here, we are creating three different smart contracts to offers an efficient access control management like contract to provide access control, contract to provide authentication, and contract to provide a judgment. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is measured against the cost consumption of smart contracts and cryptographic functions. The cost utilization comparison is carried out against certain current approaches as well as the findings clearly demonstrate that the proposed approach is cost-effective.
