Identity Authentication System Network for Internet of Things and Blockchain-enabled Trading Platforms in Renewable Energy Generating Units

Abstract

This article presents a Blockchain-based spotless, efficient clean, and green energy trading platform for environmentally friendly energy-generating units. A system that provides a constant information-obtaining framework for exchanging information and surveillance of these renewal energy-generating units and the energy uses of these units, the health of units, and performance. It typically works in a troublesome climate, and its security has forever been challenging. Node identification proof and authentication is a significant security worry for distributed IoT frameworks; blockchain technology with decentralization highlights another era of arrangements. Data/ Information is gathered and pre-processed utilizing the "Raspberry Pi” microcontroller Board linked alongside field sensors framing an "Edge Node (EN)", which comprises an inbuilt Wi-Fi unit, a generated terminal voltage sensor, generated as well as load current sensors, an external real-time clock circuit, and other environmental surveillance sensor units for fundamental support of the generating unit. These IoT-based "Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)" nodes are separated into "Edge Node (EN)", "Fog Node (FN)", and "Cloudlet Server (CS)", as indicated by their capacities and work conveyances which are framed into various leveled network. In this model, nodes’ identity and mutual authentication across multiple communication scenarios are realized through, a private Blockchain developed among the terminal nodes, an EN, forming a complete Blockchain-based wireless sensor network (BWSN).
