Satellite-Aided Consensus Protocol for Scalable Blockchains [PDF]
In this work, we propose a satellite-aided permissionless consensus protocol for scalable space–terrestrial blockchains. We design its working principle and workflow by taking full advantage of satellites for extensive coverage and ubiquitous ...

The Criteria for Adapting a Blockchain Consensus Algorithm to IoT Networks
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of smart objects connected via the Internet, where each object is identified by a unique, accessible, and programmable address, while Blockchain is a technology for storing and transmitting information based on a

Behavior Prediction Based Trust Evaluation for Adaptive Consensus of Quadrotors
Without proper treatment, a malfunctional quadrotor may bring severe consequences, e.g., becoming out of control, to the whole swarm. To tackle this problem, we develop a trust evaluations based consensus protocol.
