DPKI: A Blockchain-Based Decentralized Public Key Infrastructure System

摘要: As the technology of Internet-of-Things advances, potential benefit compromising such a network increases as well. Conventional security stacks already deployed in proven scenarios, public key infrastructure on world wide web, have been applied to context Internet-of-Things, however they fail address certain issues that are prevalent these networks, foremost being secure methodology verifying identities devices without central point failure or lack proper scalability. This paper describes novel system discerns itself from conventional implementations by establishing distributed rather than monolithic one. enables one horizontally scale solution, there is no reliance authority. Instead, blockchain and utilized record-keeping device tandem with smart contracts interface underlying storage. solution solves failure, overall resilience component can be arbitrarily enhanced support wider array functionality introducing new within itself.
