Literature Survey

Agenda

1.  Iden2fica2on of en22es applying blockchain in the IoT.

2.  How do those en22es aim to disrupt the industry?

3.  Comparison and analysis of the en22es. 4.  Conclusions and thoughts.

1.  Iden2fica2on of en22es applying blockchain in the IoT

1)  IBM and Samsung ➔ ADEPT

2)  Guard2me and Intrinsic-‐ID ➔ Alliance on IoT (KSI and PUF)

3)  Slock.it and RWE ➔ BlockCharge

4)  Chronicled.com

5)  … many others not covered here ...

2.  How do those en22es aim to disrupt the industry? (1/9)

IBM and Samsung ➔ ADEPT (1/3) •  The IoT is a network of devices that can

communicate with each other over the internet;

•  Smart IoT devices: can also configure and maintain themselves (e.g. smart fridge, smart thermostat, smart washer);

•  Goal of ADEPT project: Decentralize the IoT in order to address typical IoT problems of cost, scalability, longevity, privacy and security;


IBM and Samsung ➔ ADEPT (2/3) •  Problem solved by ADEPT (a proof of concept):

Implementa2on of a decentralized blockchain based open source framework for smart devices by using Ethereum smart contracts;

•  “Demonstra+on of how, using ADEPT, an ordinary washing machine can become a semiautonomous device capable of managing its own consumables supply, performing selfservice and maintenance, and even nego+a+ng with other peer devices both in the home and outside to op+mize its environment”;

2.  How do those en22es aim to disrupt the industry? (3/9) IBM and Samsung ➔ ADEPT (3/3) •  Open source technologies used:

–  P2P Encrypted Messaging: TeleHash –  Distributed File Sharing: BitTorrent –  Decentralized Programming Language for Blockchain (for device communica+on & coordina+on): Ethereum

•  Disrup+ve for the industry, because: •  It is a proof of concept, showing a real

implementa+on; •  It addresses those typical IoT problems; •  Open-‐source, so easier adop+on by industry.

2.  How do those en22es aim to disrupt the industry? (4/9) Guard2me/Intrinsic-‐ID ➔ Alliance on IoT (KSI and PUF) •  Problem solved by KSI and PUF for IoT:

Technologies currently used to secure networks are s2ll based on legacy security techniques such as Firewalls, PKI, IDS/IPS systems and an2-‐virus sobware;

•  Solu2on: A combina2on of SRAM PUF technologies

and KSI Blockchains provides highly scalable data integrity and authen2ca2on down to the chip level;

•  Disrup2ve because they stop firefigh2ng security

breaches with legacy security techniques.


Slock.it/RWE è BlockCharge (1/3) •  Slock.it: Blockchain technical integrator -‐ Start Up; •  RWE: major u2lity company in Germany (+10 million

subscribers); •  BlockCharge: working prototype EV charging pole

with smart contracts:

Slock.it/RWE è BlockCharge (2/3) Problems addressed: •  Physical Infrastructure: make sharing possible and

makes the entry in the market easier; •  Autonomous billing: smart contract based billing; •  Mobile App based authen2ca2on and billing; •  App -‐> Charging pole -‐> Ethereum blockchain; •  Incen2vise the development of energy alterna2ves.

2.  How do those en22es aim to disrupt the industry? (7/9) Slock.it/RWE è BlockCharge (3/3) Limita2ons and challenges: •  Mix of issues between the real world and the

“blockchain” world: •  Charging pole availability (expensive); •  User adop2on -‐ onboarding (takes 2me); •  Usability -‐ transac2on 2me? Scalability? •  Public chain or private chain?

Proof of concept has the backing of a major industry player and the same model can be deployed for shared public infrastructure.


Chronicled (1/2): •  San Francisco startup “developing

sobware at the intersec2on of blockchain technology, IoT, and user engagement”; • Product-‐chipping (NFC/BLE) on the Ethereum blockchain for the luxury and fashion industry.

2.  How do those en22es aim to disrupt the industry? (9/9) Chronicled (2/2) Problems addressed and challenges: •  Authen2city and traceability of consumer products •  Asset / Supply chain management •  Simple applica2on: product registra2on on a

blockchain

Solves a problem but does it solve a real problem? Hype?

3. Comparison and analysis of the en22es.

•  IBM is a visionary: creator of a blockchain based proof of concept and influen2al leader in the technology and IT industry;

•  Samsung is user of this blockchain based proof of concept for real life use cases;

•  Slock.it is finding new ways to bridge real life use-‐cases with blockchain;

•  RWE is using blockchain to explore new ways to use its infrastructure;

•  Chronicled is bringing the proper2es of the blockchain to consumer products.

4. Conclusions and thoughts. •  Lot of trac2on of the IOT + Blockchain spectrum; •  Mul2tude of projects / alliances / models /

partnerships; •  More and more use-‐cases, PoCs, etcetera.

•  Challenges: scalability and performance? User adop2on?

•  Lot of hype but general direc2on towards decentralized blockchain-‐based systems;

•  Blockchain and IoT models support each other.

Thank you for your aeen2on!
