Patent attributes
A blockchain-enhanced open Internet of Things (IoT) access architecture includes an access point, a number of IoT devices, a hash access mechanism, a blockchain mining network, and a blockchain enabling mechanism that manages network access of the IoT device. The blockchain-enhanced open IoT access architecture provided in the present invention provides a secure, reliable, fair, and short-packet access service for a plurality of devices in an IoT network by using features of a blockchain such as distributed storage, tamper-proofing, and traceability, thereby promoting the trust and cooperation between the devices and ensuring the security and efficiency of the network in the large-scale untrustworthy IoT network. The blockchain-enhanced open IoT access architecture in the present invention can provide secure and reliable IoT access with low latency and a high value in practice.
