Analysis of the Performance Impact in Industrial Control Process of Wastewater Systems when using Distributed Ledger Technology Sensor Authentication

Abstract

In recent years, the integration of advanced technologies in industrial control processes has gained significant attention, particularly in the domain of wastewater systems. One emerging technology with promising potential is Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), which offers secure and transparent data management through blockchain-based solutions. This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the performance impact that arises when incorporating DLT-based sensor authentication in industrial control processes of wastewater systems. The study aims to evaluate the benefits and challenges associated with this integration, providing insights into the effectiveness and efficiency of DLT-based sensor authentication in ensuring data integrity and enhancing the overall control process performance.
