Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
IOTA is a distributed ledger technology with a new structure called Tangle, which offers high scalability, no fees, and near-instant transfers for the internet-of-things (IoT) networks. The most important issue of IOTA is consensus achievement, which is handled by a single node acting as a coordinator. A single and default coordinator node exposes IOTA to the single point of failure and incomplete distribution issues. In this paper, a novel algorithm for selecting multiple coordinators to participate in the consensus process at milestones is proposed (i.e., MCS algorithm) to overcome the problem of a single coordinator in IOTA network. The MCS algorithm is applied in a two-layered architecture including IoT devices (i.e., Layer 1) and fog nodes (i.e., Layer 2). We define and formulate four different properties as metrics to select multiple coordinators in this architecture. Moreover, a collusion list is defined to decrease the risk of collusion between fog nodes in the network. Experimental results show that using multiple fog nodes as coordinators in IOTA network can improve the average response time and average throughput while does not considerably sacrifice the total cost and system utilization in comparison with the use of a single default coordinator in IOTA network.
