【Abstract】Data credibility plays a key role in facilitating evidence-based decision making in organizations and governments (e.g., policy making). One of the key data sources is the Internet of Things (IoT) devices and systems, say within a fog environment. However, the increasing complexity and interconnectivity of such IoT and fog environments can result in security vulnerabilities (e.g., due to implementation errors or flaws in the underpinning devices or systems), which can be exploited to compromise the credibility of the data. Therefore, in this article, we propose a secure Blockchain-based scheme to guarantee the credibility of nodes and data and ensure data transmission security in the fog environment. We then demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme using experiments.
