Abstract
Blockchain, as an immutable distributed ledger, can be the key to realize secure and trustworthy IoT applications. However, existing blockchains can hardly achieve high-performance and high-security for large-scale IoT applications simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a hyper blockchain architecture combining the security of public blockchains with the efficiency of private blockchains. An IoT anchoring smart contract is proposed to anchor private IoT blockchains into a public blockchain. An IoT device management smart contract is also designed to trace sensory data. A comprehensive analysis reveals that the proposed hybrid blockchain system can achieve the performance of private blockchains and resist tampering.
