Cisco will protect a blockchain system for tracking of IoT devices
Technological conglomerate Cisco Systems I have offered a blockchain the system of tracking of Internet of Things devices (IoT).
In the request published by Control according to patents and trademarks of the USA (USPTO) on Thursday, the technological giant described a blockchain the platform which can identify different attached devices, keep track of their activity and evaluate how reliable the device in case of connection to a network is.
It is reported also that the system can register and estimate automatically new devices in process of their appearance at networks, comparing their productivity to the devices which are already in a blockchain.
The request belongs to "networks with low energy consumption and losses" (LLN) on which intellectual systems which, for example, can consist of sensors, etc. usually work. Because of features of such networks, the devices connected to them can be subject to problems with safety.
LLN can be connected by a huge number of routers — "from several tens to millions" — it is said in the request. The quantity of the LLN networks also grows as different sensors and devices become "more and more connected" to the Internet.
The offered system is directed to improving of process of monitoring of devices that, according to authors of the concept, is "key" for the Internet of things:
"In particular, in the context of IoT and similar networks identification and control of devices are the key moment for providing the viable complex decision. Depending on concrete option of use of "thing" can be required to register or confirm authenticity of her data for various services which can use various procedures of service".
Automation of systems with use of a blockchain is only one of the proposed solutions of Cisco for effective adding of devices in different networks.
In April Cisco was one of several companies which declared the IoT protocol which registers devices with use of the interface compatible to a blockchain or API.
