【Abstract】Due to the vigorous development of wireless communication technology, massive sensors have been gradually connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and generate a massive quantity of valuable IoT data from large-scale wireless sensor networks (WSNs) controlled by different owners. Massive IoT data need to be collected and circulated among multiple data owners and data users. However, existing data collection frameworks may cause heavy computational overhead or rely on trusted third parties, since sensors have constrained resources. Consequently, massive IoT data are transformed among different parties, causing severe trust and security issues. In this article, we propose a blockchain-assisted massive IoT data collection (MIDC) intelligent framework to support the security, trust and efficiency of massive data collection for large-scale heterogeneous WSNs. In particular, we propose a series of novel technologies for the framework: 1) we design a large-scale heterogeneous WSNs collaborative identity verification protocol to ensure reliable data sources; 2) we build a hierarchical massive data aggregation scheme to collect massive IoT data efficiently and securely; and 3) we depict a blockchain-based massive IoT data management method to construct trust among different parties. Extensive simulation and prototype experimental results prove the effectiveness of our framework.
