Abstract:
Systems and methods receive a first indication that an Internet of Things (IoT) device is attempting to access a home network; determine that the IoT device is a trusted device; store an identifier associated with the IoT device to a blockchain in response to determining that the IoT device is a trusted device; receive a second indication that an event has occurred with respect to the IoT device; determine whether the event is a major event; and verify the identifier associated with the IoT device by storing an identity and information associated with the event to the blockchain in response to determining that the event is a major event.
