Main contribution

The solution avoids complex consensus algorithms and heavy cryptographic operations, introduces a logical LoRaWAN P2P topology and evaluates the feasibility of maintaining traceability with low network overhead.

Link with BoND1

The publication reinforces BoND1 security and trust line in non-cellular IoT networks. The combination of LoRaWAN, traceability and low consumption connects with B6G scenarios where devices have limited resources but still need integrity guarantees.
