Discussion materials for the Internet of Things and Blockchain
1 like1,611 views
The document discusses the application of blockchain technology in Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities, posing questions about its systematic integration and potential value in various contexts. It highlights the need for secure solutions, such as utilizing permission-based blockchain to prevent data tampering in IoT services and to manage UAV compliance data. Several pilot projects in Canadian cities are mentioned, focusing on expanding sensor networks and crowd sensing systems.
Discussion materials for the Internet of Things and Blockchain
- 1. Discussions on the Internet of Things, Smart Cities and Blockchain 2.1 m/sec, heading east 1.8 m/sec, heading east RH: 85 % Temp: 18 Celsius @sensorup Dr. Steve Liang, P.Eng. Associate Professor, University of Calgary Founder and CEO, SensorUp Inc. steve.liang@sensorup.com @steveliang
- 2. Question • Is there a systematic way to apply blockchain to certain applications? or to evaluate blockchain for certain applications?
- 3. IoT information for blockchain? • Device ID • Device metadata • Observations collected by devices • Intended applications • Users of the observations
- 4. Let’s try… a technology push method… Let’s review some IoT solutions, and see how can we fit blockchain into them? Is blockchain going to offer value? or even disrupt the existing approaches? (I know pull is always better than push…but this might provide us a different view on blockchain for IoT.)
- 5. Department of Homeland Security Next Generation First Responder
- 6. Common Operating Picture (COP) https://goo.gl/kjd8HL
- 7. Question: how can blockchain be applied to the next generation first responders?
- 8. Idea: using permission-based blockchain as a secure distributed web service catalog to prevent data tampering (in this case the endpoints of IoT data services) and man-in-the-middle attack.
- 10. Expanding to 500 sensors across 10 Canadian cities •Jul 08 - St. Albert •Sep - Winnipeg •Sep - Ottawa •Oct, Edmonton •Oct/Nov, Toronto
- 11. Question: how can blockchain be applied to large-scale crowd sensing systems?
- 12. Idea: using blockchain to store IoT observation data and metadata to ensure data are not tampered.
- 13. CloudUAV
- 15. Question: UAV Compliance is one of the most pressing issue. How can we apply blockchain here?
- 16. Idea: using blockchain to manage UAV flight mission data (e.g., flight plan, flight path, telemetry data) to ensure compliance.
