Storing Blockchain Data in Public Storage

Abstract

The idea of blockchain has emerged in many applications, including IoT data processing, over the last few years. Because of the guaranteed security, the blockchain is believed to create the backbone of future technologies as a P2P network. However, applying the blockchain protocol in IoT data computing faces a severe challenge related to extensive data management. This paper presents a BlockStore, the method for storing blockchain data in single public storage while maintaining the security features. The BlockStore also resolves the access management and recovery issues among the blockchain nodes. The preliminary experiments prove that the expected research brings a considerable advantage to IoT data management using blockchain.1
