A Verifiable Data Registry for Secure and Scalable Decentralised Identity Management in the IoT Context
摘要
Nowadays IoT devices have a significant role in our daily lives, from smart home appliances to smart healthcare and the industry, aiming to provide novel services. IoT networks, however, are characterized by the heterogeneity of the devices, which brings new challenges, such as managing devices’ identities. Moreover, this heterogeneity leaves open space for attackers to act, compromising the security of IoT networks. In this work we present a verifiable data registry solution for the decentralized identity management in IoT environments, employing Blockchain and gRPC technologies. The proposed solution focuses on providing both security and scalability, enhancing its applicability to the IoT context.
