【Abstract】The advancement of hardware, software, and Internet infrastructure leads to the increasing quantities of smart Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Meanwhile, security issues have increasingly brought to us the concerns due to the evolving IoT scope and mass communications. Trusting service vendors depends on their devices that generate information and provide executions. Blockchain becomes an attractive choice, as evidenced by its wide adoptions. However, trusting IoT-based services becomes an important issue since the implementation of Blockchain-based IoT (BIoT) services is proprietary and independent. This paper introduces a generic architecture design that incorporates Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to establish trust of BIoT services. This can potentially solve the trust problem and based on our experiment it can be scaled well. We also demonstrate how specification languages can be useful to express requirements. It decouples users from Blockchain and thus they can specify qualities of BIoT services without deep knowledge to work with Blockchain.
