Design principle DP1: Source-to-sink certification

Sensor data are certified on the basis of source-to-sink protection.

Source paper

This design principle is proposed by Blockchain for the IoT: Privacy-Preserving Protection of Sensor Data (Mathieu Chanson, Andreas Bogner, Dominik Bilgeri, Elgar Fleisch, Felix Wortmann, 2019).

2 Design Features

design-knowledge/blockchain-iot-sensor-data-df1

DF1 - Data collection unit

The sensing/data-collection component that collects the raw sensor data at the source.

blockchain-iot-sensor-datadata-certificationdesign-featuredesign-theory+2
design-knowledge/blockchain-iot-sensor-data-df3

DF3 - Near-sensor preprocessing and hashing

Preprocess the data and record the blockchain transaction as a hash as close as possible to the sensing unit, preventing manipulation from that point on.

Blockchain for the IoT: Privacy-Preserving Protection of Sensor Data

The paper proposes a design theory (requirements, principles, and features) for a blockchain-based sensor data protection system that certifies IoT data, ensuring tamper-resistant, privacy-preserving, scalable and efficient data gathering, processing and exchange, demonstrated with the CertifiCar instantiation.
