Summary:
|
There are many Internet of things (IoT) platforms to process and manage same IoT data in different stages and in different areas. In traditional solutions, each of the IoT platforms usually stores its activity logs for processing and managing IoT data (IoT DPM) into its storage separately. Those activity logs are separated and managed by the IoT platforms respectively. Therefore, the accessibility and trustworthiness of those activity logs are not guaranteed. In this case, it is uneasy to trace activities about IoT DPM in full lifecycle for the activity logs are stored and managed by different IoT platforms.
In order to trace activities about IoT DPM, different IoT platforms may use same activity log storage and related functionalities. Activity logs management (ALM) enabled by blockchain technologies provides functionalities to manage activity logs for IoT DPM in full lifecycle across IoT platforms. Different IoT platforms can save activity logs of IoT DPM into the trustworthy shared storages via the ALM for IoT DPM individually. And then when they read activity logs of IoT DPM via the ALM, they can get all the relevant activity logs of IoT DPM in full lifecycle from the trustworthy shared storages via the ALM for IoT DPM, if authorized. The ALM and the trustworthy shared storages are based on blockchain technologies and can keep the activity logs un-tampered. The ALM can facilitate the IoT platforms to store and trace activity logs of IoT DPM in full lifecycle transparently and trustworthily.
This Recommendation presents a blockchain-based activity logs management for IoT data processing and management, and specifies its characteristics, functional requirements and architecture.
