Abstract

The coronavirus, formerly known as COVID-19, has caused massive global disasters. As a precaution, most governments imposed quarantine periods ranging from months to years and postponed significant financial obligations. Furthermore, governments around the world have used cutting-edge technologies to track citizens’ activity. Thousands of sensors were connected to IoT (Internet of Things) devices to monitor the catastrophic eruption with billions of connected devices that use these novel tools and apps, privacy and security issues regarding data transmission and memory space abound. In this study, we suggest a blockchain-based methodology for safeguarding data in the billions of devices and sensors connected over the internet. Various trial secrecy and safety qualities are based on cutting-edge cryptography. To evaluate the proposed model, we recommend using an application of the system, a Raspberry Pi single-board computer in an IoT system, a laptop, a computer, cell phones and the Ethereum smart contract platform. The models ability to ensure safety, effectiveness and a suitable budget is proved by the Gowalla dataset results.
