Abstract

The dispersed Internet of Things (IoT) poses several security and privacy challenges due to its architecture and fast, massive growth. The management of access is now a top priority. Centralized solutions to this problem frequently depend on a third party, have availability and scalability limitations, and may even be a performance barrier. In this study, a unique method is proposed for coordinating the provision of decentralised, lightweight, secure access management for an IoT system, making use of a multi-agent system and a blockchain. This suggested method's principal objective is to build Blockchain Managers (BCMs) to protect IoT access management by promoting secure interoperability amongst neighbourhood IoT gadgets. The technology also allows for secure communications between cloud servers, fog nodes, and Internet of Things devices.
