【Abstract】Wireless Sensor Internet of Things (WSIoTs) face various challenges such as unreliable data communication, less cost efficiency, security issues and high energy consumption due to their deployment in hostile and unattended environments. Moreover, the node's rapid energy dissipation due to the void holes and imbalanced network deployment has a bad impact on the network performance. To overcome the aforementioned issues, a blockchain based trust model for WSIoTs is proposed in this paper. Moreover, the Dijkstra algorithm is used to propose a routing protocol for performing efficient communication between network nodes while simultaneously avoiding void holes between ordinary sensor nodes and a sink node. Furthermore, to provide transparency in the network, all the transactions performed by the nodes are recorded in the blockchain in an immutable manner. Moreover, the Proof of Authority (PoA) consensus algorithm is used to validate and add the transactions in the blocks. Besides, a distributed platform, known as interplanetary file system, is used in WSIoTs for reliable and cost-effective storage. The simulation results show that PoA performs 13% better than proof of work consensus algorithm. The proposed routing protocol and trust model are validated in terms of gas consumption, throughput, nodes' status and energy consumption.
