Blockchain-Assisted Secure Intra/Inter-Domain Authorization and Authentication for Internet of Things
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Multidomain Internet of Things (IoT) is faced with serious domain interoperability (DI) and compatibility issues since different intradomain authorization and authentication (A&A) mechanisms are deployed without the consideration of interdomain A&A. This article proposes a blockchain-assisted scheme to achieve flexible intra- and inter-domain A&A simultaneously and seamlessly. Specifically, we first design a contract-based mutual access control agreement on top of a consortium blockchain, where domain managers can manage their access permission without any trusted parties. Based on the agreement, a secure and privacy-preserving authentication protocol is further proposed by tailoring one-out-of-many proof techniques, which enables IoT devices to anonymously access authorized IoT domains. We additionally design a voting-based protocol by using a threshold-based cryptosystem. The protocol allows domain managers to transparently audit resource access with the assistance of the blockchain. Detailed security analysis demonstrates that the proposed scheme achieves the security properties, such as DI, privacy protection, and accountability. Finally, we develop two proof-of-concept prototypes in a physical testbed and virtual machine, respectively, based on an open-source blockchain platform to show our scheme’s efficiency in terms of computation and communication overhead.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
