IoT and Blockchain Technology

32. 32
The Problem With Business Networks Built on
Traditional Databases
Transactions
Can be suppressed: Participants have to trust
database owners
Can be deleted: Database admin is all powerful
Cannot be modified: Database admin is all powerful
Security
Risk is concentrated on each database owner
Crash fault tolerant: If you are lucky
Visibility
Local only - at the individual database level
Costs
Integration Costs - Expensive security and integration
costs across many technologies

33. 33
How Blockchain Solves This
Transactions
Cannot be suppressed: All participants see all
transactions and add them to their own copy of the
ledger
Cannot be deleted: Ledger is append only
Cannot be modified: Ledger is immutable –
everybody can check
Security
Distribution of risk:
Byzantine fault tolerant: Resistant to number of
malicious participants
Visibility
Global - at the fabric level
Costs
Integration Costs – Standardized secure technology
and lower integration costs in a single technology

34. 34
IoT View: Operations and Maintenance Networks
Business / MRO Networks benefit from
connectivity
• Connected Manufacturers, Assemblers,
Maintainers, OEMs, Operators, and
Regulators
• Cross geography & regulatory boundaries
Trust is generated by the transparent and
auditable flow of information
Collaboration is central to this process:
• Public transactions, visible to all
• Private transactions between individual
parties

35. 35
What?
• Enable physical objects (e.g. shipping containers, manufacturing parts, etc.) to participate in
secure blockchain transactions.
How?
• Route messages from any Watson IoT Platform connected device to blockchain transactions.
• Devices can send sensor data and the identity of the object as determined from barcodes,
RFIDs, embedded devices, etc.
• Works with existing devices - does not require blockchain code to run on devices.
• Watson IoT Platform maps a device’s data format to that required by the blockchain contract.
Blockchain contract does not have to know about the types of devices sending data or
understand their data format.

Blockchain in a nutshell
Records all transactions
Each participants build his own
copy
Append only
Immutable and cannot be
changed
THE shared system of record
Smart Contract
ConsensusPrivacy and
Confidentiality
Shared Ledger
Ledger is shared, but
participants require privacy
Participants need:
Transactions to be private
Identity not linked to a
transaction
Transactions need to be
authenticated
Cryptography central to these
processes
Transaction validation &
commitment
Different to Bitcoin
Byzantine Fault Tolerant
Scalable
“pluggable” consensus for
different use cases
Business rules implied by the
contract
Embedded in the Blockchain
Executed with the transaction
Verifiable, signed
Encoded in programming
language

Why?
• Very often, physical objects are used or
maintained by multiple parties
• Multiple parties need to agree on acceptable
usage
• Disputes between parties require some record
of what occurred in order to resolve disputes
• Physical objects of all sorts are used:
equipment, vehicles, buildings, transmission
lines (water, gas, electricity)
• Effects of the environment may also factor into
agreements between parties
• When the objects themselves can report on
their status, this can assist in processing
agreements between parties
Blockchain and IoT
What?
• Enable physical objects (e.g. shipping containers,
manufacturing parts, etc.) to participate in secure
blockchain transactions.
How?
• Route messages from any Watson IoT Platform
connected device to blockchain transactions.
• Devices can send sensor data and the identity of
the object as determined from barcodes, RFIDs,
embedded devices, etc.
• Works with existing devices - does not require
blockchain code to run on devices.
• Watson IoT Platform maps a device’s data format
to that required by the blockchain contract.
Blockchain contract does not have to know about
the types of devices sending data or understand
their data format.

Example Use Cases

41. 41
Use Case: Trade, Logistics, Shipping
What?
• Currently Freight logistics involve many different parties: manufactures, forwarders, shippers,
custom agents, insurers.
• Most of these parties use different systems to track shipments
• Many interested and dependent parties, with contrasting/conflicting goals e.g.
Manufacturer/shipper/insurer
How?
• Use IoT enabled blockchain as a shared ledger to record shipping containers as they move through
system
• Automatically update the “smart contract” and blockchain through the IoT Foundation.
• Exploit the “IoT Enabled International Trade on Blockchain” research JP
Benefits
• Greater transparency and of shipment progress improves efficiency
• Greater trust since all transactions are indelibly recorded
• Greater accuracy and lower cost, through IoT participation.
• Ability to optimize and automate business processes through IoT.
• Future vision allows for ‘freight autonomy’

Use Case: Asset Management - Warranty
What?
• Knowing that a vehicle has been maintained according to the required schedule is
difficult today. E.g. maintenance records, work performed, vehicle use, damage
• Many interested and dependent parties, with contrasting/conflicting goals e.g.
Manufacturer/owner/insurer
How?
• Use IoT blockchain as a shared ledger of vehicle history, from usage, maintenance,
warranty work, replacement parts
Benefits
• Greater transparency of true history: Proof of good parts, completed maintenance and
certifications, clean documents.
• Greater confidence and safety because replacement part provenance and all service is
indelibly recorded.
• Safety Certifications and Auditability
• Greater trust since no single authority "owns” the whole story
• New business opportunities for insurers, lenders, warranty services

48. 48
Use Case: Asset Management - Parts
Tracking/History
What?
• Provenance of each component part in complex system
hard to track
• Manufacturer, production date, batch and even the
manufacturing machine program.
How?
• Blockchain holds complete provenance details of each
component part
• Accessible by each manufacturer in the production
process, the aircraft owners, maintainers and government
regulators.
Benefits
• trust increased no authority "owns” provenance
• improvement in system utilization
• recalls "specific" rather than cross fleet

49. 49
Use Case: Regulatory Compliance
What?
• Knowing that a piece of equipment (e.g. engine, measuring system, instrument) has been used per the specifications or
in accordance with regulations for the equipment. e.g. work performed, amount of use, type of use, mis-handling events,
etc.
• Many interested and dependent parties, with contrasting/conflicting goals e.g.
Manufacturer/owner/regulator/inspector/insurer
• Processes, such as the manufacturing or transport of drugs, have regulatory requirements for tracking history and
maintaining those records for years and providing to regulatory agencies as well.
How?
• Use IoT blockchain as a shared ledger of equipment/process history, from usage, maintenance, warranty work,
replacement parts, out-of-tolerance or regulation situations.
Benefits
• Greater transparency of true history: indelible log of equipment sensor readings, or situations logged by the device and
reported, process events and history
• Safety Certifications and Auditability
• Greater trust since no single authority "owns” the whole story – or said another way – many parties all keep the same
record of events/data
• New business opportunities for insurers, regulators, etc.
