Quantum-Resistant FOTA: End-to-End Decentralized Firmware Updates for IoT Using Blockchain and CRYSTALS-Dilithium
Abstract
This paper presents a novel, quantum-resistant (QR) firmware update architecture designed to secure the critical Firmware Over-The-Air (FOTA) process for resource-constrained IoT devices. The system achieves end-to-end decentralization and integrity by leveraging
