Abstract

The integration of blockchain technology with IoT architectures holds immense potential for advancing application design and enhancing security properties. However, the resource constraints typically present in IoT devices pose a challenge. This paper explores the feasibility of running a lightweight Bitcoin wallet on IoT devices and identifies the minimum requirements for their successful operation. A review of the literature is used to identify existing integration architectures and derive the wallet needs. The study evaluates performance metrics such as execution time, memory usage, network data transmission, and power consumption to determine the feasibility of deploying these architectures.

期刊介绍： Computer and Communications networks are key infrastructures of the information society with high socio-economic value as they contribute to the correct operations of many critical services (from healthcare to finance and transportation). Internet is the core of today''s computer-communication infrastructures. This has transformed the Internet, from a robust network for data transfer between computers, to a global, content-rich, communication and information system where contents are increasingly generated by the users, and distributed according to human social relations. Next-generation network technologies, architectures and protocols are therefore required to overcome the limitations of the legacy Internet and add new capabilities and services. The future Internet should be ubiquitous, secure, resilient, and closer to human communication paradigms. Computer Communications is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles (both theory and practice) and survey papers covering all aspects of future computer communication networks (on all layers, except the physical layer), with a special attention to the evolution of the Internet architecture, protocols, services, and applications.
