“…The two main categories of existing implementations of blockchain oracles are centralized oracles (Oracle) and distributed oracles (Chainlink). Centralized oracles rely on Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) [ 9 ], and their trust models mainly involve voting strategies and reputation-based strategies. These voting strategies determine outcomes based on participants’ interests, while reputation-based strategies depend on the accuracy and integrity of reputation and data authenticity proof mechanisms [ 10 ].…”

In the realm of IoT sensor data security, particularly in areas like agricultural product traceability, the challenges of ensuring product origin and quality are paramount. This research presents a novel blockchain oracle solution integrating an enhanced MTAS signature algorithm derived from the Schnorr signature algorithm. The key improvement lies in the automatic adaptation of flexible threshold values based on the current scenario, catering to diverse security and efficiency requirements. Utilizing the continuously increasing block height of the blockchain as a pivotal blinding parameter, our approach strengthens signature verifiability and security. By combining the block height with signature parameters, we devise a distinctive signing scheme reliant on a globally immutable timestamp. Additionally, this study introduces a reliable oracle reputation mechanism for monitoring and assessing oracle node performance, maintaining both local and global reputations. This mechanism leverages smart contracts to evaluate each oracle’s historical service, penalizing or removing nodes engaged in inappropriate behaviors. Experimental results highlight the innovative contributions of our approach to enhancing on-chain efficiency and fortifying security during the on-chain process, offering promising advancements for secure and efficient IoT sensor data transmission.

“…Blockchain has also been used for user registration, certificate issuance, key management, smart contracts, and InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) cloud server integration [17]. The combination has the potential to improve security, enhance interoperability, and provide decentralized and fine-grained authorized access to the sensor internet [13]. One study proposed a fogging-based multi-level blockchain authentication framework [18] to leverage such a combination.…”

“…Several underlying problems have been identified in the reviewed papers as outlined in Table 6 and illustrated in Figure 6. In general, authentication processes in IoT are challenged by the need for security in information sharing and data transmission [6,28,68], wireless communication [49,51,56,57,62], proximity-based authentication [36], false-positive identification [13], or service operations [38]. Another similar aspect is the ability to resist/detection of evolving cyberattacks [14,15,28,37,41,47,52,53,57,65,66,68], leading to the adoption of fog computing that compliments the needs of IoT [40,72].…”
