scope:

This standard defines a blockchain-based Zero-Trust framework addressing common security and trust issues in the Internet of Things. The framework provides an enforcement model constructed using a suite of blockchain-enabled logical security and trust service components in IoT systems. The standard defines an implementation model for use on device, edge and cloud components along with an enforcement process and descriptions of typical deployment variations of the framework to provide systematic confidentiality, integrity, availability, and usability.

Purpose

This standard provides a reference framework to enforce and implement Zero-Trust access control for IoT systems using blockchain. It specifies a systematic mechanism of blockchain-enabled authentication, authorization, and data resource sharing in IoT systems to facilitate trusted, secure, and usable connectivity among people, things, and applications.
