Fabric-iot: A Blockchain-Based Access Control System in IoT
Abstrak
IoT devices have some special characteristics, such as mobility, limited performance, and distributed deployment, which makes it difficult for traditional centralized access control methods to support access control in current large-scale IoT environment. To address these challenges, this paper proposes an access control system in IoT named fabric-iot, which is based on Hyperledger Fabric blockchain framework and attributed based access control (ABAC). The system contains three kinds of smart contracts, which are Device Contract (DC), Policy Contract (PC), and Access Contract (AC). DC provides a method to store the URL of resource data produced by devices, and a method to query it. PC provides functions to manage ABAC policies for admin users. AC is the core program to implement an access control method for normal users. Combined with ABAC and blockchain technology, fabric-iot can provide decentralized, fine-grained and dynamic access control management in IoT. To verify the performance of this system, two groups of simulation experiments are designed. The results show that fabric-iot can maintain high throughput in large-scale request environment and reach consensus efficiently in a distributed system to ensure data consistency.
