Automatic Smart Contract generation for Internet of Media Things

Abstract

Formally known as ISO/IEC 23093, Internet of Media Things (IoMT) is an emerging paradigm ensuring interoperability among media-centric applications and services designed and deployed for the interpretation, representation or analysis of multimedia content collected by media devices such as cameras or microphones. Under this framework, the present paper establishes the proof of concept for the automation of IoMT specified Smart Contract generation. The advanced modus operandi enables media devices and their content to be seamlessly protected against payment counterfeiting, malicious control, access, interception and/or redirection. To this aim, a comprehensive architectural and experimental framework is conceived, designed, and demonstrated. While the methodological approach is blockchain agnostic, the experimental results are obtained on a 3-node, EEA (Enterprise Ethereum Alliance)-compliant private blockchain.
