Abstract
The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets has directly revolutionized industries through allowing exchanging of data in real-time. However, centralized system become insecure, difficulty to scale, and wasted energy. The blockchain provides a possible solution as a decentralized and tamper-proof platform, but it tends to be costly and slow, and thus is not applicable in resource-limited environments such as power-constrained IoT. This paper proposes a hybrid blockchain-IoT architecture to provide more secure, scaleable and efficient systems. Public block chain widely used for distributed trust governance and private chain widely called for localized data execution of the language. Energy consumption is reduced with a low delay performance, through the deployment of proof of authority (PoA) consensus, to meet IoT applications. Also, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) is used for decentralized storage, to maintain integrity of data and consist of on-chain space overhead. Smart contracts automate device authentication and access policy, further enhancing security and efficiency. The proposed framework is tested using the BoT-IoT dataset and compared to IoTChain, Trusted IoT Alliance, and Blockchain-Based Smart Home Systems.
