Description
Summary:<p dir="ltr">The blueprint of the proposed Decentralized Smart City of Things (DSCoT) has been presented with smart contracts development and deployment for robust security of resources in the context of cyber-physical systems (CPS) for smart cities. Since non-fungibility provided by the ERC721 standard for the cyber-physical systems (CPSs) components such as the admin, user, and IoT-enabled smart device/s in literature is explicitly missing, the proposed DSCoT devised the functionality of identification and authentication of the assets. The proposed identification and authentication mechanism in cyber-physical systems (CPSs) employs smart contracts to generate an authentication access code based on extended non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which are used to authorize access to the corresponding assets. The evaluation and development of the extended NFT protocol for cyber-physical systems have been presented with the public and private blockchain deployments for evaluation comparison. The comparison demonstrated up to 96.69% promising results in terms of execution cost, efficiency, and time complexity compared to other proposed NFT-based solutions.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: IEEE Open Journal of the Computer Society<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.en" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a>  <br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ojcs.2024.3378424" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ojcs.2024.3378424</a></p>
