Title
IoT Device Integration and Payment via an Autonomic Blockchain-Based Service for IoT Device Sharing
Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) incorporates billions of IoT devices (e.g., sensors, cameras, wearables, smart phones, as well as other internet-connected machines in homes, vehicles, and industrial plants), and the number of such connected IoT devices is currently growing rapidly. This paper proposes a novel Autonomic Global IoT Device Discovery and Integration Service (which we refer to as aGIDDI) that permits IoT applications to find IoT devices that are owned and managed by other parties in IoT (which we refer to as IoT device providers), integrate them, and pay for using their data observations. aGIDDI incorporates a suite of interacting sub-services supporting IoT device description, query, integration, payment (via a pay-as-you-go payment model), and access control that utilise a special-purpose blockchain to manage all information needed for IoT applications to find, pay and use the IoT devices they need. The paper describes aGIDDI's novel protocol that allows any IoT application to discover and automatically integrate and pay for IoT devices and their data that are provided by other parties. The paper also presents aGIDDI's architecture and proof-of-concept implementation, as well as an experimental evaluation of the performance and scalability of aGIDDI in variety of IoT device integration and payment scenarios.
