Proof of Authentication: IoT-Friendly Blockchains
Deepak Puthal, Saraju P. Mohanty · IEEE Potentials · 2018
This article introduces the concept of proof of authentication (PoAh) for the lightweight implementation of blockchains in the Internet of Things (IoT). The PoAh can replace existing consensus algorithms, such as proof of work (PoW), proof of stake (PoS), and proof of activity (PoA), for resource- and energy-constrained infrastructures, such as the IoT.
