Abstract
The present invention addresses the issue of secure and trusted Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain networks by adopting the emerging blockchain technologies. The present invention proposes a new hybrid blockchain technology to address the trusted IoT issues such as trustless communications and decentralized applications. Besides, the present invention also disclose that the pseudonymous authentication technique can use a puzzle-solving computation to enable trustless communications for the IoT and provide the capabilities of near real-time transactions.
Claims20
A hybrid blockchain architecture, comprising:
- a hybrid blockchain physical network node;
- an Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain network that is a private blockchain network and is coupled to said hybrid blockchain node;
- and
- a communication blockchain network that is public blockchain network and is coupled to said hybrid blockchain node, wherein said communication blockchain network is selected from an internet network, wifi network, Bluetooth network and telecommunication network;
- wherein a distributed computing pool is built by said communication blockchain network and said Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain network to share a computing capability for a device;
- wherein the hybrid blockchain node broadcasts puzzles obtained for the communication blockchain network to IoT devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) blockchain network, the puzzles are generated by miners of the communication blockchain network, and IoT device of the IoT devices that submits a transaction comprising a correct solution to the puzzles within a predetermined time period is determined to be an authenticated device, and a miner that participates in authenticating the IoT device receives a reward token and records the transaction in a distributed ledger.
