Power and Energy Efficiency of Blockchain STS

This sub-section contrasts the Blockchain-STS implementation period and energy

usage to current STS schemes. Distributed Ledger-STS is not just a lightweight

but additionally an active and energy-efficient STS system that provides the least

time for crucial creation, information signing, signature, and key compression [38].

The charts in Figs.8, 9, 10 and 11 allow the execution period of Blockchain-STS

to be compared with current standard STS systems. Both these systems have been

introduced in the “JetBrains PyCharm Community Edition 2018.3.3” environment

utilizing the Python language [39]. The findings were obtained from a laptop includ-
