Abstract


The Internet of Things (IoT) connects and improves crucial global technologies like sensor nodes. The Internet is evolving from a human-centric network to one that enables inanimate things to wirelessly communicate with one another. The lifespan of an IoT network may be affected by the energy requirements of its routing protocol. Data is transmitted through the internet, and it may compromise the security of the data. An attacker can access the data and modify the data in order to break the security of the network. Although various solutions are available, such as cryptography and steganography-based approaches, none provide secure data transmission in large-scale networks with low energy consumption. Blockchain technology plays a vital role in the prevention of network malware. In this paper, an attempt has been made to propose a credit-based mechanism for secure data transmission in an efficient manner with low energy consumption. In order to achieve optimal results, the proposed framework uses blockchain for data security and credit distribution to avoid delays. The proposed framework has been simulated using the Contiki Cooja (CC) simulator. The efficiency of the proposed framework is measured by comparing its performance with state-of-the-art techniques.
