Beyond Protocol: A New Protocol For IoT

3 min readMay 12, 2021

The topic of today is about Internet of Things (IoT), which refers to use of embedded sensors, actuators, and communication technology to track and control different objects or things connected between them through smart technology. IoT is growing fast and the expectations of worldwide regarding security and privacy are at an ATH. Then, it is clear that the future of technology is the Internet of Things (IoT), in other words, the smart communication between all things.

IoT brings a new type of issues as well as new security, safety and cyber systems. The benefits of this new disruptive technology
brings different analytics, automation and resource optimization that need to succeed in order to gain competence. However, the cyberattacks and other cybersecurity issues make IoT communication vulnerable. For this reason, all intruders need to do is convince device some change of state is acceptable.

Thus, the project I am gonna present you today is Beyond Protocol (https://docsend.com/view/upvdx52), a protocol that enables security by verifying and singing transactions as well as makes them automated all inside a trusted ledger.

Definition

Beyond Protocol (https://docsend.com/view/upvdx52) is a new blockchain project based on Ethereum Network smart contracts that brings a protocol that enables security by verifying and singing transactions as well as makes them automated all inside a trusted ledger. In example, any product manager or engineer needs to choose a broker service and a protocol to be able to launch an IoT product, so Beyond Protocol will be the protocol chosen by them. MQTT is the current most popular type of protocol, so Beyond Protocol will be based on it.

Goal

The idea of the project is to create the consensus needed to make the aforementioned change possible through a distributed ledger technology with unique fingerprints (PUF). So, the real goal of Beyond Protocol is to create a marketplace where developers and manufacturers of IoT devices can define value parameters for their transfers in order to make the transactions trustworthy in a blockchain-based trusted ledger technology.

Here you can see an example of how the protocol of Beyond works:
