IoT Geography Chain: Blockchain-Based Solution for Logistics Ecosystem

Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging rapidly, thus opening the ear of connectedness and improving business worldwide. IoT devices tend to communicate without human intervention and thus could be more vulnerable to attacks, especially in logistics where it is difficult to reassure the path adopted by the transport services. End-to-end trust is difficult to build, and most of the times IoT requires human intervention to proceed the logistics operations. Our study proposes a solution with blockchain and smart contract to work with GPS data to build trusted paths and premises. Such trusted paths and premises can trigger smart contract automatically to reduce the human intervention in logistics process. For evaluation of our study, we demonstrate the path creation process with graph, smart contract triggering system, and data check-up to authorize IoT devices to proceed with communications. Our proposed method creates secured path and premises for logistic IoT which lead to build end-to-end trust and automated triggering system for smart contract.
