Strengthening IoT Supply Chain Integrity: A Blockchain-Based Approach to Identify Malicious Devices

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized supply chains by offering enhanced monitoring, tracking, and optimization capabilities. With the growing interconnectivity and dependence on IoT devices, it becomes imperative to identify and prevent cyber-attacks that target these IoT devices during the supply chain process. This paper proposes a novel approach that leverages blockchain technology to identify and mitigate cyber-attacks on IoT devices within the supply chain process. By leveraging blockchain’s decentralized nature and immutability, the proposed solution aims to establish a secure and transparent ecosystem, enabling stakeholders to validate the authenticity and trustworthiness of IoT devices throughout the supply chain, thus strengthening the overall integrity of the IoT supply chain network.
