Design of platforms based on blockchain technology applied to different use cases

Abstract

[EN]The developments of my PhD in this past year are shown in this article. It is studied thoroughly the possibilities and limits of the blockchain protocols when used in IoT platforms. It is commented how the scalability limits of blockchain technology affects the performance of the systems that make use of it. Also, a review of the state of the art has been carried out, pointing out how some solutions make use of a centralization process to improve response time and security of the blockchain. As future remarks, it should be studying the possibility of creating a public blockchain network with the IoT devices of the platform.
