Abstract

With the booming development of the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, millions of data are generated every day. How to use and manage these data safely and efficiently has become a hot issue of concern to people. Due to the accumulation of IoT data, the isolated data island phenomenon makes it difficult to connect and interact with each data owner, and the security and privacy of IoT data also become a challenge. Blockchain is a decentralized database technology that uses distributed accounting to ensure reliable data transmission and access, along with smart contracts that can be executed automatically to program and manipulate data. At the same time, blockchain techniques have stronger security and privacy, which can better meet the needs of users. In this paper, we analyze the current management mode and challenges of IoT data and propose an IoT data platform based on blockchain. The proposed platform takes into account important factors including IoT data traceability, IoT data trusted transactions, etc. Our IoT data platform achieves the trusted management and transaction of IoT data. We also propose follow-up optimization solutions to expand the application scope of our platform and achieve more efficient management of IoT data.
