Análisis de la utilización de la Tecnología Blockchain para la gestión de la información en Sistemas de Alarmas Residenciales

Abstract

This project proposes the analysis of the use of Blockchain Technology for the management of information in residential alarm systems taking into account the decentralized platform Ethereum, without the need of hiring an intermediary for the provision of this service. The theoretical phase will briefly describe the main characteristics and concepts of the Blockchain: structure, consensus algorithm, platforms and some decentralized applications through the peer-to-peer network. The evolution and growth of residential alarm systems will be analyzed. In the management analysis of the events, a comparative chart of the advantages and disadvantages of the conventional centralized alarm system and the new decentralized security system based on the Blockchain technology will be presented. The design or implementation of a prototype is not included as part of this project, instead the peer-to-peer network simulation will be shown, considering the Ethereum platform based on the standard ERC20. In the cost analysis stage, the cost of equipment, accessories, monitoring, installation and maintenance that would be necessary for the centralized and decentralized alarm system will be described. Finally, the conclusions and recommendations of this technical study will be mentioned, which intends to contribute to future research with respect to decentralized systems.
