Hardjono, Thomas, Smith, Ned.  2016.  Cloud-Based Commissioning of Constrained Devices Using Permissioned Blockchains. Proceedings of the 2Nd ACM International Workshop on IoT Privacy, Trust, and Security. :29–36.

In this paper we describe a privacy-preserving method for commissioning an IoT device into a cloud ecosystem. The commissioning consists of the device proving its manufacturing provenance in an anonymous fashion without reliance on a trusted third party, and for the device to be anonymously registered through the use of a blockchain system. We introduce the ChainAnchor architecture that provides device commissioning in a privacy-preserving fashion. The goal of ChainAnchor is (i) to support anonymous device commissioning, (ii) to support device-owners being remunerated for selling their device sensor-data to service providers, and (iii) to incentivize device-owners and service providers to share sensor-data in a privacy-preserving manner.
