Authentication of Mobile IoT Devices using HyperLedger Fabric Blockchain

Abstract

The Internet of Things is a rapidly evolving field which gives rise to new needs related to devices management and security. In addition to being intelligent, devices become more and more mobile, and mobility could lead to security and performance issues if not correctly managed. In this paper, we propose an IoT authentication system considering mobile devices and using the Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain as a broker. Our system is scalable, and proproses two ways of managing device mobility. To demonstrate the reliability of our approachs, we provide a proof-of-concept based on a scenario example and an evaluation of the performance obtained.
