An IoT and blockchain based logistics application of UAV

With the increasing number of online consumers, the relationship between the Internet of things and the Internet is becoming closer. Logistics transportation plays an important role in the whole online shopping. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) transportation in air transportation has led traditional logistics to the era of intelligent logistics. The application of UAV in the business logistics industry has become a formal issue. However, there are some security issues in today's UAV logistics, such as transaction disputes between sender and receiver about lost packages or wrong delivery. This paper focuses on the application of blockchain and smart contract mechanism to solve the shortcomings of the current UAV application in the e-commerce field and propose solutions. The proposed scheme achieves the following e-commerce requirements: mutual authentication of identity, non-repudiation of delivery and arrival, and other major blockchain-based security requirements. Once the dispute occurs, we also proposed an arbitrative mechanism to classify the responsibility.
