| Abstract | In this paper, a blockchain based scheme is proposed to provide registration, mutual authentication and data sharing in wireless sensor network. The proposed model consists of three types of nodes: coordinators, cluster heads and sensor nodes. A consortium blockchain is deployed on coordinator nodes. The smart contracts execute on coordinators to record the identities of legitimate nodes. Moreover, they authenticate nodes and facilitate in data sharing. When a sensor node communicate and accesses data of any other sensor node, both nodes mutually authenticate each other. The smart contract of data sharing is used to provide a secure communication and data exchange between sensor nodes. Moreover, the data of all the nodes is stored on the decentralized storage called interplanetary file system. The simulation results show the response time of IPFS and message size during authentication and registration. |
