Abstract
The adaptation of IoT-based technology in agriculture is increasing rapidly in recent times. IoT devices are of great assistance to farmers in monitoring dairy farms, greenhouses, and other agricultural facilities. The most crucial component of an IoT device is ensuring data security and privacy. Data leakage can have significant negative consequences as it may result in financial loss for farmers. It is important to prioritize data security to protect the interests of farmers and ensure the success of their agricultural endeavors. Blockchain technology can be a solution to secure data transactions in the network layer. With the concept of private and public key pairs, data hashing, and decentralized systems; important and sensitive data will be secured. In this study, we discuss the structure of a three-layer architecture for green IoT technology and identify the privacy issues presented in each layer. Then we propose a solution by implementing a secure Ethereum-based blockchain system for data transactions at the network layer.
