Self-Sovereign Identity Based on Blockchain – Implementation in IoT

Over the past years, Internet of Things (IoT) has been gradually making up essential parts of our life whether as autonomous vehicles, smart homes or other forms. The main job of IoT devices is data collection. Data collection can be considered as the building block of IoT. In the current IoT architecture, the data collected is processed by a cloud-based IoT platform. However, in several cases, the data collected may contain personal information and insights. This leads to the growing concern around privacy and security in IoT. The purpose of this project is to provide comprehensive analysis of designing an owner-based IoT system. This can be achieved through the emerging concept of Self-Sovereign Identity, along with blockchain.
