Description
Summary:Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing are increasingly integrated, in the sense that data collected from IoT devices (generally with limited computational and storage resources) are being sent to the cloud for processing, etc., in order to inform decision making and facilitate other operational and business activities. However, the cloud may not be a fully trusted entity, like leaking user data or compromising user privacy. Thus, we propose a privacy-preserving and user-controlled data sharing architecture with fine-grained access control, based on the blockchain model and attribute-based cryptosystem. Also, the consensus algorithm in our system is the Byzantine fault tolerance mechanism, rather than Proof of Work.
