【Abstract】Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely used in various fields of our daily life in the past years. Obviously, in the future, the significance of its security will be more evident and enormous. However, there are still many security issues in the IoT, which makes it vulnerable to be attacked easily by some potential factors. Targeting at these issue, in this paper, we propose a secure access management scheme in IoT based on blockchain. Firstly, in our work, by using the Decisional Learning with Error (DLWE) problem, we propose a secure Key-policy Attribute-based Encryption (KP-ABE) scheme, it can implement fine-grained access control in IoT. Secondly, we use blockchain to solve the authentication and access management challenges. In addition, the smart contract in blockchain can process transactions automatically, which greatly reduces the management cost and running time for this scheme. Last but not the least, we further analyze the security of our proposed scheme. The result shows that our scheme can resist some common attacks in IoT, and it is more secure and efficient.
