SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BLOCKCHAIN-BASED DEVICE AUTHENTICATION BASED ON A CRYPTOGRAPHIC CHALLENGE

Abstract:

A system for blockchain-based authentication comprises an interface and a processor configured to (i) receive, by a first device, a command from a second device, where the first device is associated with a first trust certificate, (ii) receive a second trust certificate from the second device, (iii) communicate a cryptographic challenge using a public key of the second device to the second device, (iv) receive a response to the cryptographic challenge from the second device, (v) check whether the response matches with a predetermined correct response or not, and (vi) authenticate the second device and execute the commend received from the second device only if the response matches with the predetermined correct response.
