Blockchain Security for NB-IoT in Food Supply Chain Logistics

Abstract

The food industry offers diverse supply chains with multiple locations for manufacturers, dealers, and customers. The techniques of distribution and transaction used in online food trade are currently unclear. This problem, along with participants' unwillingness to offer information and lack of confidence, presents significant issues for the global food supply chain industry. The goal of this project is to build a blockchain-based Food Supply Chain (FSC) architecture that will enable the tracking of food from the farm to the customer transparently and safely. The suggested method encourages openness and wellinformed decision-making by tracking participant interactions, triggering events, and logging transactions using Ethereum smart contracts. Smart contracts also control how vendors and customers communicate, for example, by keeping track of and alerting customers about the condition of Internet of Things (IoT) containers used in food supply chains. To improve transparency and immutability, the suggested framework might be expanded to include other supply chain industries in the future.
