Smart Watering System Security Technologies using Blockchain

Water quality monitoring and its use in smart agriculture and other crucial domains is an important step towards a system based on risk analysis on how data is transmitted over the network. In this article, the emphasis is on the security of the transmitted data and is based on the developed project SWAM (Smart WAter Management system for better environmental sustainability). The security services used in the current paper are based on an architecture that provides a set of security guarantees capable of mitigating certain threats relevant to the water quality monitoring system used in agriculture. These services are beneficial for irrigation system operators because the devices are authenticated, then the data is sent from the station and reaches the platform and is not modified in the sense of simulating erroneous measurements. The general purpose of the article is to describe the security aspect, elements and factors of the SWAM architecture. Security is required at all IoT levels, for example, at the device level, including sensors for water quality monitoring and communication level (generally through the Gateway).
