Abstract:

With the increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, ensuring their security and privacy has become crucial. Due to its decentralized and immutable nature, blockchain technology has emerged as a potential solution for effective device management. This study proposes a trust-based framework for managing IoT devices using blockchain techniques. The framework utilizes a blockchain-based decentralized trust model and employs a consensus mechanism to ensure system integrity and security. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach are demonstrated through simulation experiments. The framework achieves a trust score accuracy of over 90%, 30% higher than the best-performing approach in previous studies. The consensus mechanism implemented in the framework also reduces the probability of a security breach by 50% compared to the most secure system in prior research. This study shows that the proposed trust-based framework is a promising solution for managing IoT devices using blockchain technology, offering significant improvements over existing approaches.

Keywords:

Blockchain technology, Consensus mechanism, Decentralized trust model, Internet of Things (IoT), Trust-based framework.
