    摘要: A processor-implemented method imposes trust at the edge of a blockchain. A hardware interrogator in a terminal interrogates an Internet of Things Smart Device (IoTSD). The IoTSD is an off-line device that is associated with a physical product. The IoTSD includes a cryptographic processor and one or more state sensors that monitor a state of the physical product. The hardware interrogator detects an event that is described by an encrypted entry in the IoTSD. The terminal transmits, to a blockchain, a transaction that describes the event that is detected by the hardware interrogator, such that the blockchain adds the transaction to a blockchain that is dedicated to the physical product, and the blockchain establishes a state of the physical product.

    摘要: An example operation may include one or more of receiving, by a first node, from a second node at least one document describing an action performed on assets of an asset supply-chain at a location of the second node, executing, by the first node, a smart contract to translate the at least one document into a standardized form of entry and exit events and to define containment relationship of the assets, and computing metrics on the asset supply-chain based on the standardized form and the containment relationship.
