- The paper provides a solution to decentralize the control plane of the network via Blockchain where IoT devices and users can interact with each other without a trusted intermediary in a secure and verifiable manner. This is significant because the systematic evaluation in the paper has provided new insights and considered a pioneering work exploring blockchain for purposes other than cryptocurrency [https://tinyurl.com/y9dx6sog]. The research is referred to in four industry patent applications by Altmetric (https://tinyurl.com/yxkf48v2) and PlumX Metrics (https://tinyurl.com/yxb66kzj) [Siemens-https://tinyurl.com/yxuj4aop, Nokia-https://tinyurl.com/y6pt38ct, Siemens-https://tinyurl.com/y2hzpkux, Zeetta Networks-https://tinyurl.com/yxn554te]. Prominent researchers [https://tinyurl.com/ybwt5flf, https://tinyurl.com/ybfgpe5a, https://tinyurl.com/yb3caeug] have taken up the work and agreed on the potential benefits.
