摘要

本作品介绍了一种基于区块链的安全医疗处方管理系统,该系统与动态物联网(IoT)框架无缝集成。值得注意的是,这种整合在资源受限的物联网设备领域构成了一个关键挑战:能耗。选择合适的区块链共识机制是克服这一障碍的关键。因此,本文对两种不同共识机制的能耗进行了全面比较:工作证明(PoW)和基于法定人数的拜占庭容错(QBFT)。此外,还在多个网络和各种参数之间对最节能的算法进行了评估。这种方法可确保获得可靠且具有统计意义的数据,从而就系统在真实世界场景中的性能得出有意义的结论。实验结果表明,与 PoW 相比,QBFT 共识机制的能耗平均降低了 5%。这一发现凸显了 QBFT 在应对资源受限的物联网设备所带来的能耗挑战方面的显著优势。除了在隐私和区块时间效率方面的固有优势外,Quorum 区块链还因其较低的能耗而成为物联网应用中更具可持续性的选择。

Towards an Optimized Blockchain-Based Secure Medical Prescription-Management System
This work introduces a blockchain-based secure medical prescription-management system seamlessly integrated with a dynamic Internet of Things (IoT) framework. Notably, this integration constitutes a pivotal challenge in the arena of resource-constrained IoT devices: energy consumption. The choice of a suitable blockchain consensus mechanism emerges as the linchpin in surmounting this hurdle. Thus, this paper conducts a comprehensive comparison of energy consumption between two distinct consensus mechanisms: Proof of Work (PoW) and Quorum-based Byzantine fault tolerance (QBFT). Furthermore, an assessment of the most energy-efficient algorithm is performed across multiple networks and various parameters. This approach ensures the acquisition of reliable and statistically significant data, enabling meaningful conclusions to be drawn about the system’s performance in real-world scenarios. The experimental results show that, compared to the PoW, the QBFT consensus mechanism reduced the energy consumption by an average of 5%. This finding underscores the significant advantage of QBFT in addressing the energy consumption challenges posed by resource-constrained IoT devices. In addition to its inherent benefits of privacy and block time efficiency, the Quorum blockchain emerges as a more sustainable choice for IoT applications due to its lower power consumption.
