Summary

• What is new: The introduction of STarEdgeChain, which integrates permissioned blockchain with edge computing and advanced cryptographic techniques for secure and private message dissemination in IoT.
• Why this is important: Security, privacy, and performance issues arising from message dissemination among smart devices in the IoT.
• What the research proposes: STarEdgeChain framework ensures targeted message delivery using a single signcrypted message instead of multiple unicasting methods.
• Results: A software prototype was developed to demonstrate the practicability of STarEdgeChain for smart devices, with publicly available code.
