Subject
Blockchain technology has been very popular for the management of IoT data and has been utilized in many different application areas like healthcare, logistics, transport, etc. However, it is well known that it suffers from major drawbacks like enormous storage, computation and communication costs. In order to address these issues, the Holochain technology has been proposed, which is an end-to-end open source peer-to-peer application framework. It is particularly suited for resource constrained IoT scenarios. Although first beta releases are available and several theoretical approaches have been already provided, concrete performance evaluations have not yet been provided in literature. Therefore, the purpose of this master thesis is to provide an in depth comparison between both technologies with respect to performance, security and privacy for a particular IoT based application (eg. sharing of data).
