After the implementation of this standard, relevant parties will build a trusted Internet by promoting the zero-trust framework of the Internet of Things based on blockchain, and realize the application of blockchain technology in major scenes such as industrial Internet, smart home, smart health and smart city, which will help accelerate the digital transformation and high-quality innovation development of China's real economy.
Break through the key bottleneck
Smart home applications are speeding up again.
It is understood that the "Blockchain-based Zero Trust Framework Standard for the Internet of Things" is the first standard proposal put forward by the Blockchain-enabled Internet of Things Security Working Group under the Blockchain and Distributed Accounting Standards Committee of the IEEE/BDL Computer Association.
"This standard will take the lead in proposing the technical idea of using blockchain technology to build a zero-trust security system for the Internet of Things at the standard level, and provide a replicable and extensible distributed trust core technical framework for the native application of the Internet of Things, thus reducing the technical threshold and application cost of the Internet of Things security system and breaking through the key bottlenecks of technological innovation and application development in the industry." A related person from Changhong Holdings said.
The security flaw of the Internet of Things lies in the lack of mutual trust mechanism between devices. All devices need to be checked with the data of the Internet of Things Center. Once the database crashes, it will cause great damage to the whole Internet of Things. However, the distributed network structure of the blockchain enables devices to be consistent without verification with the center, so even if one or more nodes are breached, the data of the whole network system is still reliable and safe.
"The standardization of this framework will promote the healthy development of Internet of Things applications, provide a trust foundation for the Internet of Things ecology, and benefit all participants and stakeholders." Changhong said the above person.
Tang Bo, chief scientist of Changhong Information Security Laboratory, believes that the combination of blockchain and Internet of Things will give security and new vitality to the business model in the field of smart home.
In the scene of Internet of Things represented by smart home and industrial Internet, tens of billions and more IoT devices are changing the existing network structure, and the traditional border security mode is challenged. The interconnection between heterogeneous devices needs to establish a secure and reliable cooperation mechanism, so it is urgent to formulate a general framework to deal with a large number of security and trust challenges in the Internet of Things, so as to achieve end-to-end security and credibility of the Internet of Things.
"Breaking the original isolated individuals, blockchain+Internet of Things technology can realize distributed collaborative networks. Connecting various smart home manufacturers, home appliance terminal platforms and regulatory agencies in the form of blockchain nodes will realize the real Internet of Everything, solve key bottlenecks and core pain points, and also enhance the prosperity and compatibility of smart home ecology. " Hong Shibin, founder of Yuecheng Company, said.
Ding, the founder of Nail Technology, believes that "anyone, anything, and anything that wants to access the network needs to undergo strict verification, thus building a security barrier for the Internet of Things, which is very necessary in the future' Internet of Everything'. The introduction of this standard can guide the application of' zero trust principle' in the field of Internet of Things more clearly. Strengthening the feasibility and security of interconnection will help the scale of smart homes to land faster. "
"For a long time, China enterprises have been keen on product production and neglected the formulation of standards, which made China products encounter many technical barriers in global expansion. This time, Changhong and other enterprises took the lead in formulating the world's first international standard of "Blockchain+Internet of Things Security", which enhanced the ability of China enterprises to participate in global standard formulation. New technologies need relevant standards to guide the development of related eco-industries. For the industrialization and globalization of new technology, its huge commercial potential needs relevant standards to guide the development of related ecological industries. China enterprises have always been at the forefront, indicating that traditional enterprises in China have increased their awareness of standards, product technology and product barriers. " Zhou Xibing, a researcher at China Local Enterprise Soft Power Research Center, said.
Comprehensive layout of Internet of Things applications
Point out the direction for the digital transformation of enterprises
Blockchain Internet of Things is a concept promoted by ITU standards organization. At the beginning of 20 17, ITU-T established the SG20 standard group, which is responsible for the standard formulation of the Internet of Things and its application in smart cities and communities. The leading enterprises in China are China Unicom, ZTE and China Shinco.
It is the first case that home appliance enterprises take the lead.
In recent years, Changhong Holdings, based on the Internet and facing the Internet of Things, has accelerated its transformation and upgrading. On 20 18, it set up an information security lighthouse laboratory to comprehensively lay out the blockchain standards for Internet of Things applications.
Tang Bo said that the laboratory will devote itself to promoting the formulation and release of standards, bringing together relevant enterprises, industry associations, universities, scientific research institutes and service organizations in the field of blockchain Internet of Things for application research, test consultation and engineering practice, preparing to set up a working group on blockchain-enabled Internet of Things security standards, and formulating relevant standards for the integration and innovation of blockchain and Internet of Things security.
"The intelligent transformation of traditional enterprises generally faces the dilemma of high research and development costs, low production efficiency and insufficient operational capacity. At present, Changhong's transformation to the Internet of Things shows that it has made its own way in intelligent transformation. Changhong's AIoT strategy is not only promoting its own transformation, but also empowering the outside world and promoting industrial upgrading. On the whole, Changhong's transformation and upgrading has made remarkable progress: at the C end, Changhong's smart home solution has been continuously improved; At the B end, Changhong has won several industry champions, such as the Internet of Things module and rail transit power supply. " Ding, founder of Nail Technology, said.
"With the popularity of 5G, the Internet of Everything has entered the transformation track of traditional enterprises, and the construction of new business models has become the outlet for the upgrading and transformation of traditional home appliance giants. In this transformation, Changhong took advantage of its traditional manufacturing advantages and the needs of the new era. The international standard of' blockchain+Internet of Things security' formulated by Changhong will enhance Changhong's own competitive advantage. " Zhou Xibing believes.
The landing of relevant standards is also of great significance.
The vertical application of the blockchain Internet of Things involves many fields: industrial manufacturing, networked driverless cars, transportation, public technical facilities and smart cities, financial services and insurance, family and commercial real estate management, smart contracts, retail and so on.
"In the future, home appliance giants will become important supporters and even leaders in industrial manufacturing, driverless, smart cities and other fields. They are showing an irreplaceable role. " Sinosteel Economic Research Institute senior researcher nonsense.
Ding believes: "In the long run, the industries and fields that this standard can affect will be quite extensive. After all, the' Internet of Things' itself should be ubiquitous in future production and life. In the short term, the standards will mainly provide standards and directions for the development of smart home, smart wear and smart travel industries, as well as the digital transformation of manufacturing.
