| Resumen |
The success of Blockchain in the field of cryptocurrencies opens the possibility of leveraging the main advantages of this technology in other areas such as financial services, public services, social services, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Using these features helps preserve various security services such as decentralization, integrity, and pseudo-anonymity, and even allows for complete traceability of all transactions. Exploiting these features offered by Blockchain in the IoT network generates high expectations regarding computing power, storage, and decentralized, tamper-resistant transactions. However, most existing consensus protocols were created to be executed by nodes with high computing and storage capacity, characteristics that the devices that make up an IoT network do not have. Although new protocols have emerged that require less computing power or storage, none are tailored to be executed by nodes with limited resources. Based on the above, this article presents the cryptographic consensus protocols that could be used in the IoT network. © 2025 Instituto Politecnico Nacional. All rights reserved. |
