Design of a Secure Energy Trading Model Based on a Blockchain

This study proposes a Secure Energy Trading Model design based on a Blockchain is an attempt to overcome the weak security and instability of the current energy trading system. The focal point of the design lies in the user-security features of the model, such as user authentication and identification, and the blockchain that every transaction goes through. The user-security feature provides a safer system for peer-to-peer energy trade, and the blockchain technology ensures the reliability of the trading system. Furthermore, the Secure Energy Trading Model supports a decentralized data control mechanism as a future measure for handling vast amounts of data created by IoT.
