Abstract

The Blockchain is the world’s leading software platform for digital assets. The development of Blockchain technology is now growing very rapidly. Blockchain technology could be also deployed in the Internet of Things (IoT) Networks during their transaction processes. However, safe methods for different types of transactions still have major problems. A good trust management system (TMS) is essential for success between IoT devices and Blockchain node during transaction processes. This paper illustrates how IoT devices could be evaluated by the sink nodes acted as a blockchain nodes in order to give the contribution for cooperative evaluation in the blockchain for the integration IoT application. The cooperative evaluation method is required while executing transaction process in Blockchain network, which could validate IoT devices by these collaboration blockchain agent nodes. Finally, the scheme we proposed cooperative evaluation for private blockchain IoT application, which could give trust evaluation for IoT devices by the blockchain nodes during the blockcahin transaction processes.
