#Blockchain@Edge: Blockchain in Edge-Cloud computing continuum

Organization
Mobile & Cloud Computing Laboratory
Abstract
In edge computing, the intelligence is embedded onto the edge devices. For large data processing capacity and in-depth analysis, generally, the data is sent to the fog environment and then the cloud servers, which is far from the sensor’s location. This thesis talks about integrating blockchain for secure processing and transmission of the data from the sensor to the cloud.


Here, the student needs to implement the existing blockchain technology at least in a lab environment that mimics the edge-cloud environment. The goal here is to store the sensor-generated data securely in fog and cloud environments using blockchain technology. The student may need to use the AWS cloud or UT’s Openstack private cloud for a cloud environment.

The student will further improve the current development by addressing two or more following research challenges:
- Deployment Automation
- Pluggable Consensus Algorithms
- Making it Truly Distributed
- Mapping More than Data Points to Hashing
