Securing Peer-to-Peer Identities in IoT Systems Using Blockchain and Multi-Agent Systems with an Outlook on M2M Payment Applications

This book presents a proof of concept architecture to detect and prevent Sybil attacks in automated Machine-to-Machine networks. Designed in regards to low-powered Internet of Things devices, the proposed layered defence balances security with computational feasibility, using Distributed Ledger Technology and Multi-Agent Systems. The thesis begins with the theoretical background of the used techno...
