Security Analysis of Application IOTA Protocol in Distributed Systems of Renewable Energy Sources

Today, the problem of introducing renewable energy resources into traditional power supply networks is relevant. A sufficiently large number of sources [1, 2] give unfavorable projections of an increase in CO2 emissions, an increase in the rate of global warming, and a “greenhouse” effect for the next 30-50 years due to the generation of energy due to fuel combustion. Thus, in highly developed countries, this problem is given special attention, and projects are being created to introduce renewable energy resources (RVEs) into traditional power supply networks, as well as to provide additional services such as selling excess energy. In view of increasing the number of such resources and supporting their sale, an important task is also the need to create a reliable and secure distributed data processing and transmission system within it, including ensuring high data integrity. The purpose of this work is to analyze the security of the IOTA protocol with respect to ensuring integrity in a distributed system of renewable energy sources (RSVE). The IOTA protocol was created to build Machine-to-Machine communications, that is, to communicate with each other's Internet of Things devices, which already spawns the Internet of Everything and Web 3.0 technologies and Industry 4.0.
