Constructing Next-Generation IoT Security: Embedded Smart Contracts and Multilayer Security Protection

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, interconnectivity between devices has become increasingly widespread. However, traditional IoT security measures struggle to cope with increasingly complex security threats and cannot fully exploit the advantages of interconnectivity due to the limited computational resources of the devices. To address this, we propose a blockchain-based IoT security framework comprising wallet component, smart contract component, multilayer security component, and common component. This framework, designed for resource-constrained environments and embedded into cellular communication modules, enables multiend offloading of computational tasks and secure transmission for IoT devices. Experimental results show that the data processing capability of the decentralized network architecture based on this framework is improved by 115.06% compared to traditional methods, enhances the security and autonomy of IoT devices, and significantly strengthens the degree of IoT decentralization. This provides a valuable reference for designing next-generation IoT security architectures.

Abstract

With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, interconnectivity between devices has become increasingly widespread. However, traditional IoT security measures struggle to cope with increasingly complex security threats and cannot fully exploit the advantages of interconnectivity due to the limited computational resources of the devices. To address this, we propose a blockchain-based IoT security framework comprising wallet component, smart contract component, multilayer security component, and common component. This framework, designed for resource-constrained environments and embedded into cellular communication modules, enables multiend offloading of computational tasks and secure transmission for IoT devices. Experimental results show that the data processing capability of the decentralized network architecture based on this framework is improved by 115.06% compared to traditional methods, enhances the security and autonomy of IoT devices, and significantly strengthens the degree of IoT decentralization. This provides a valuable reference for designing next-generation IoT security architectures.
