Abstract

The Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is hugely taking a big interest in worldwide in terms of security and private grants. Despite the increase of massive data transmission, a lot of challenges discovered in this technology, the data, and the critical information become vulnerable to a lot of malicious behaviors. In this paper, we proposed a new scheme to develop a dynamical framework to secure cluster-header decision-based blockchain in WSN that aims to facilitate the transactions and efficient to build a low-cost system. However, it applies the concept of Ethereum’s smart contracts to verify and check the confidentiality of each node in a decentralized architecture way. Otherwise, the implementation of the framework is deployed on the ganache environment using solidity as a programming language to write smart contracts to reach and resolve both the flexibility and efficiency of proof of work for each node. Consequently, the implementation results of the proposed scenarios confirm that this study achieves integrity, agreement, validity, availability, and termination which make the whole system a promising solution by decreasing building cost and improving the architecture effectiveness and trustworthiness.
