What do you get if you combine two over-hyped subjects, blockchain and IOT? At the Trusted IOT Alliance founders meeting, the answer was a surprisingly level headed conversation, and demonstrations of how IOT projects are currently being secured by blockchain. Presentation outline: - What is blockchain & distributed ledger technology? Why is it useful? (no hype overview) - The work of the Trusted IOT Alliance (www.trusted-iot.org)? - Stories about how blockchain is being used

3. Blockchain
How about
Blockchain
without
the
hype?

4. “The Internet of
Things isn’t
about the
Things…
It’s about the
services.”
Stacey Higginbotham - ThingMonk 2016

5. IoT
Business
Models
Sharing Economy
Increasing utilisation of under used assets
Delegating Tasks to Machines
“Alexa order me some ukulele strings”
“Pay the generator for what you use…”
Supply Chain Efficiency
What happened to my package on route?

6. Implicit
underpinning
of trust
IoT is
inherently
distributed

7. How do I
work with
someone I
don’t fully
trust?

8. Problem 1:
Today’s trust
model is
client-server

9. A distributed
trust model?

10. Problem 2:
People keep
breaking
Things

11. Attack
prevention is
a broken
model…

12. Attack
detection &
recovery:
What
happened?
Availability
Did the logs written?
Audit & Accountability
Who did what? And when?
Integrity
Are the logs accurate?

13. What is Blockchain?

14. Blockchain:
“A slightly
broken Merkle
Tree”
Alasdair Allan - ThingMonk 2016

15. Blockchain:
A mutually
distributed
ledger

17. Blockchain
should be
hidden
infrastructure
…and boring

23. What if the data
on the ledger
was actually
