The proposed system combines the MQTT protocol for efficient communication between resource-constrained IoT devices and a blockchain-based mechanism to ensure the immutability, verifiability, and authenticity of the collected data. A practical use case is demonstrated involving waste container monitoring, where IoT sensors transmit environmental and geolocation data. These data are stored in a Data Lake and cryptographically signed using Merkle trees before being anchored in a blockchain through smart contracts. The experimental results validate the feasibility of the approach and highlight its benefits in terms of transparency, auditability, and operational efficiency.
