Fault-Tolerance System Design in the Internet of Things Network with Blockchain Validation

Abstract

An Internet of Things (IoT) network contains huge heterogeneous sensing devices, architectures, and protocols. In this extensive IoT network, fault detection and management is a critical and time-consuming task. In this paper, a fault-tolerance system is proposed for the Internet of Things network using Blockchain integrity and security validation method, and this network will detect faults and provide solutions automatically to maintain the efficiency of the network. Fault-tolerance automation creates a significant impact in the extensive IoT network for its sustainability. The outcome presented in this paper shows that the blockchain-based network is highly fault-tolerant as compared to the centralized and cryptographic method-based network.
