Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) data and devices face significant security concerns. It is well-known that IoT security standards and frameworks have yet to be established due to variations with IoT developers and manufacturers agreeing on fundamental design methods to address IoT security and its limited computational resources. This research aims to determine how security standards and frameworks can be better implemented to enhance IoT security. Specifically, this research investigates whether implementing an encryption scheme such as attribute-based encryption (ABE) along with blockchain, a distributed ledger technology (DLT), strengthens the security of IoT data and devices. In this context, an encryption scheme is applied at the IoT gateway on sensor data while implementing blockchain for non-repudiation of data as it traverses the network infrastructure. Finally, we present a performance analysis to assess our proposed solution and validate the performance of ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) based on the number of attributes used in the access policy.
