“…Performance parameters like scalability, energy consumption, confirmed transaction per second (CTPS), real-time applicability are necessary while assessing a DLT platform (Akhtar & Rizvi, 2020a;Akhtar & Rizvi, 2020b). Scalability is defined as a system's nature to handle high request of transaction and changes.…”

Background Consumer electronics or daily use home appliances are the basic necessity of every household. With the adoption of IoT in consumer electronics, this industry is set to rise exponentially. In recent times, the demand for consumer electronics rises amidst the pandemic due to a paradigm shift from in-office culture to work from home. Despite intelligent IoT devices, smart home configuration, and appliances at our disposal, the rudimentary client-server architecture fails to provide facilities like full access control of data and devices, transparency, secured communication, and synchronization between multiple devices, etc. to the users. Methods To overcome these limitations, Blockchain technology has been adopted in recent years, however, it has its own set of limitations in its widespread implementation. Hence, we propose a methodology using the IOTA platform, a distributed ledger technology (DLT) for secured communication between consumer electronics devices and appliances. Results The implementation provides access control, interoperability, data storage, and management with an exploratory insight towards a decentralized micro-payment use-case between Electric cars and charging stations.

“…To mitigate such issues of trust and transparency in distributed networks, solutions like distribute ledger technology (DLT) (including blockchain in particular) combined with IoT can help the network to increase traceability and overall reliability. Also, in the present IoT implementation the data is highly unreliable and most of the time data integrity is not ensured [ 5 , 6 ]. In present-day critical applications like healthcare, military operations, weather forecasting, etc., data reliability is of prime importance since they work based on data-driven decision making.…”

“…IoT applications come with lot of features like being omnipresent and pervasive. However, the IoT ecosystem is vulnerable due to a number of factors [ 5 ]. Major problems seen in IoT implementations are: Highly centralized systems : Being centralized might not be an issue in today’s internet world but being the single point of failure increases the probability of concerns.…”

A potential rise in interest in the Internet of Things in the upcoming years is expected in the fields of healthcare, supply chain, logistics, industries, smart cities, smart homes, cyber physical systems, etc. This paper discloses the fusion of the Internet of Things (IoT) with the so-called “distributed ledger technology” (DLT). IoT sensors like temperature sensors, motion sensors, GPS or connected devices convey the activity of the environment. Sensor information acquired by such IoT devices are then stored in a blockchain. Data on a blockchain remains immutable however its scalability still remains a challenging issue and thus represents a hindrance for its mass adoption in the IoT. Here a communication system based on IOTA and DLT is discussed with a systematic architecture for IoT devices and a future machine-to-machine (M2M) economy. The data communication between IoT devices is analyzed using multiple use cases such as sending DHT-11 sensor data to the IOTA tangle. The value communication is analyzed using a novel “micro-payment enabled over the top” (MP-OTT) streaming platform that is based on the “pay-as-you-go” and “consumption based” models to showcase IOTA value transactions. In this paper, we propose an enhancement to the classical “masked authenticated message” (MAM) communication protocol and two architectures called dual signature masked authenticated message (DSMAM) and index-based address value transaction (IBAVT). Further, we provided an empirical analysis and discussion of the proposed techniques. The implemented solution provides better address management with secured sharing and communication of IoT data, complete access control over the ownership of data and high scalability in terms of number of transactions that can be handled.
