Abstract
In today’s world, there will probably be an enormous rise in the volume of data sensed by sensors on the Internet of Things-enabled Wireless Sensor Network (IWSN). The sensed data from sensor nodes is gathered and transmitted to the sink. These sensor nodes suffer from several consequences including security, transparency, trust, and immutability. Furthermore, other technical impairments like computation, storage of sensed data, privacy, and energy conservation enhance the issues of the IWSN. To overcome this, a novel Blockchain Interplanetary File Access Control System (BIFACS) has been proposed to manage intelligent autonomous access control for IWSN. Efficient data security and data transmission can be achieved in the proposed scheme by using the BIFACS algorithms. Further, the proposed scenario is implemented in the Solidity programming language and deployed on the local Ethereum. The efficacy of the proposed system has been analyzed based on computing, storage, and network performance.
