Global companies including Bosch, Ryan Orr and Cisco have formed the Trusted IoT Alliance, an open-source working group that aims to create a "blockchain-enabled, trusted IoT" ecosystem. The alliance has already published a common API for registering IoT-enabled devices, or "things", to the Enterprise Ethereum and Hyperledger blockchains, while the decentralised network will eventually hold cryptographic registration, thing identities and metadata. "At this early stage we think it's vitally important to establish an inclusive framework that ensures openness, trust, and interoperability," said Gemalto, CEO of alliance member Chronicled.
