Blockchain based protocols can be utilized to solve difficult problems in the IoT and Embedded spaces. In this BoF we will discuss how to use this technology to establish a decentralized root of trust, that allows device control, ownership, and secure data transfer for devices with constrained footprints. In addition to blockchain, we will delve into new distributed ledger technology, and zero-knowledge proofs which allow one party (the prover) to prove to another (the verifier) that a statement is true, without revealing any information beyond the validity of the statement itself. This is important for anonymous machine to machine transactions to occur with very little compute resources.
