Abstract

The fusion of blockchain and WSNs in IoT is promising because of improved trustworthiness, decentralisation, and fault tolerance. Numerous solutions however do not cope adequately with both fault tolerance, real time behavior and scalability within dynamic network environments. To this end, in this study, a lightweight and energy-efficient blockchain-protected communication protocol for the multihop IoT-WSN structures in a dynamic environment is introduced. The protocol takes advantage of a decentralized consensus mechanism suitable for low-latency communication, fault discovery, and automatic recovery, so as to guarantee operation continuance even under node crash/fail-Stop or mobility. Extensive simulation and real-world testbed results illustrate the framework’s efficiency, delay, throughput, data security, and overhead. This paradigm fills the existing chasm of secure, scalable and fault-tolerant communication for the future digital era IoT applications.
