Abstract
According to an example aspect, there is provided a method comprising: generating a smart contract with information of a number of targeted devices to perform an update, providing the smart contract for a distributed ledger for the number of targeted devices, receiving an indication to the distributed ledger on readiness to perform the update by the number of targeted devices, and receiving another indication to the distributed ledger on the performance of the update by the number of targeted devices.
Claims19
An apparatus comprising at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- generate a smart contract with information of a number of targeted devices to perform an update,
- provide the smart contract for a distributed ledger,
- detect an indication to the distributed ledger on readiness to perform the update by the number of targeted devices, and
- detect another indication to the distributed ledger on performance of the update by the number of targeted devices,
- wherein the smart contract comprises timing information indicative of a time or time period at which to activate a radio for listening to smart contract updates.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor;
- and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
- receive a smart contract in a distributed ledger with information of a number of targeted devices to perform an update;
- verify that the smart contract is signed by a trusted party;
- receive the update from an update provider;
- send an indication of readiness to perform the update for the distributed ledger;
- detect an indication to the distributed ledger about readiness to perform the update by the number of targeted devices;
- and
- perform the update in response to the detected indication,
- wherein the smart contract comprises timing information indicative of a time or time period at which to activate a radio for listening to smart contract updates.
