The impact of Block chain-Based System on Goods Tracking and management in Industrial Environment

Abstract

In the domain of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the
demand for robust and secure methods for goods tracking and
management has become growingly critical. Conventional
methods face significant challenges, including authentication,
computational overhead, cyber security, and data integrity. To
address these issues, this paper proposes a block-chain based
system for goods management and tracking with enhanced
authentication mechanism by leveraging the decentralized
nature of block-chain technology and integrating Elliptic Curve
Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) with Elliptic Curve
Cryptography-Zero Knowledge Proof (ECC-ZKP). The
proposed solution aims to ensure the authenticity and the
integrity for all the transaction while providing high level
privacy-preserving verification without revealing information.
The research in this paper demonstrates that the proposed
block-chain-based system significantly enhances security
performance, key management and operational efficiency,
addressing the existing challenges in IIoT goods tracking and
management, providing a resilient framework for more secure
industrial operations in managing goods.
