As the Internet of Things (IoT) proliferates, ensuring the security and trustworthiness of communications becomes paramount. This paper introduces a novel approach to address these concerns by leveraging. Consortium Blockchain technology. The proposed system focuses on building trust in IoT environments through a decentralized and transparent framework. We explore the integration of Consortium Blockchain as a foundational layer for secure communication within IoT ecosystems. The consortium model, involving a group of trusted entities, facilitates consensus mechanisms and smart contracts to establish and maintain a reliable reputation system. This approach mitigates traditional vulnerabilities associated with centralized systems and enhances the overall security posture of IoT networks. Key components of the proposed system include a consensus algorithm for agreement among consortium members, a transparent and immutable ledger for recording interactions, and smart contracts governing trust and reputation protocols. By utilizing blockchain technology, the system not only ensures data integrity and confidentiality but also instills confidence in the reliability of IoT devices and the information exchanged. Through simulation and analysis, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our Consortium Blockchain-based solution in enhancing the security and trustworthiness of IoT communications. The results indicate improved resistance to malicious attacks and a resilient foundation for building trust in the dynamic and interconnected world of IoT. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on securing IoT ecosystems, offering a practical and scalable solution for building trust through Consortium Blockchain technology
