Discussion on Post-quantum Distributed Ledger for IoT

This portion of the chapter explains in detail our introduced Distributed Ledger-STS.

The introduced Distributed Ledger includes several activities. An event contains the

subsequent information objects: execution time, sensors (Internet-of-Things Infor-

mations), docking key(prnkey), digital signatures(σ), and the transaction’s successor

ID (succID). We will use trx i(n) to describe the transaction I data item (0 to 4). Suc-

cID and docking key are both the public keys provided by our intended STS system

(Sect.4). The initial event (i.e., the creation of genesis block) is a succID. The owner

creates the event of genesis. Different events receive the ID of their antecedent,
