N2 - The number of connected Internet of Things (IoT) devices has been rising rapidly in recent years due to the establishment of novel and more capable communication protocols. It is estimated that the adoption of 5G and beyond communication technologies will result in the number of globally connected IoT devices surpassing 30 billion by the end of 2025. This proliferation, coupled with the fact that most of these devices are being deployed in intricate and interconnected networks, amplifies the challenges associated with designing an identity and access management (IAM) system that is self-executing, globally unique, and interoperable between different devices, networks, and systems. Blockchain technology, characterized by its decentralization, immutability, and cryptographic capabilities, emerges as a promising solution to address these challenges. In this context, we propose a blockchain-based decentralized identity (DID) and trust evaluation framework for IoT devices. This framework enables globally connected devices to authenticate each other and authorize interactions in a decentralized manner. Additionally, it implements a reputation-based trust evaluation mechanism by calculating trust scores from interactions within the blockchain network.
