摘要

This paper proposes an architecture and a protocol suite for a permissioned blockchain for a local loT network.The architecture is based on a sealed Sequencer and a Fog Server running (post-quantum) Guy Fawkes protocols.The blocks of the blockchain are stored in networked Content Addressable Storage alongside any user data and validity proofs.We maintain that a typical IoT device can,despite its resource limitations,use our blockchain protocols directly,without a trusted intermediary.This includes posting and monitoring transactions as well as off-chain (post-quantum) emergency communications without an explicit public key.
