A Blockchain based access control for IoT

Traditional access control models rely on a central entity. This may cause single point of failure, ethical and privacy problems when applied in the Internet of Things (IoT). A distributed access control can overcome the single point failure problem of centralized access models. In this paper, we propose a distributed and trustworthy access control solution for the IoT by applying the smart contract-enabled blockchain.
