This project looks how blockchain, the technology behind decentralised systems such as Bitcoin, can be exploited to make the Infrastructure of Internet of Things (IoT) more resilient. This project will use blockchain to connect and coordinate IoT devices, enabling them to share their data with guarantees that their integrity will be preserved and privacy protected.
Target Outcomes:
- Requirement and risk analysis on blockchain-empowered infrastructure for IoT, with main focus on the smart-energy sector
- Architectural design of the blockchain infrastructure for IoT
- Infrastructure prototype for smart-energy IoT devices
- Recommendations on exploiting blockchain for IoT
