Towards a secured smart IoT using light weight blockchain: An aim to secure Pharmacy Products
Blockchain has proven a very developed and secured technology. It ensures
data integrity with authentic connected nodes. Now-a-days, blockchain with IoT
is a great combination for secured and smart end to end product delivery. This
observation has motivated the research to develop a conceptual model to provide
a secure pharmaceutical product delivery by developing a IoT integrated with
lightweight blockchain. The undeveloped and most of the developing countries
are facing problems such as drug counterfeits, shortages, opiates and tracking
them became difficult because of less transparency. Also, nature sensitive
medicines need to be stored under controlled temperature known as cold-chain
shipping. The storage of these information in the recent software is done in
the centralized databases that is prone to data manipulations and hacks. Due to
less production drugs needed to be imported with maintaining drug supply chain
regulations by law. This paper proposes a lightweight blockchain model for
pharmaceutical industries by using IoT. This model ensures traceability of
drugs within a very simple way which is less complex compared to the existing
ones.Comment: 9 pages 3 figure
