Preservation of Smart Home System Based on Blockchain

Abstract

Smart home systems are becoming more prevalent and popular in modern society, as they can provide convenience, comfort, and efficiency to the users. The proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) creates a network of interconnected devices generating va st amounts of data in real world applications like smart cities, connected appliances, and supply chain management. This growth necessitates addressing challenges related to data security, integrity, and regulatory frameworks for emerging applications and integrations. Blockchain technology offers a potential solution for securing and preserving user and data integrity in a decentralized manner. Hyperledger Fabric, a permissioned blockchain platform, stands out for its open source nature, modular architectu re, and high performance, making it a versatile tool for addressing these concerns within the smart home IoT domain. In this thesis, a blockchain enabled architecture based on Hyperledger Fabric is presented to address the data security and integrity chal lenges associated with the smart home IoT. A new architecture is introduced to enable this integration, and is developed and deployed, and its performance is analyzed in various scenarios. The evaluation results demonstrate that the proposed solutions outp erform over the existing solutions and is feasible and effective over the existing solutions.
