隨著數位轉型時代的到來，物聯網應用的蓬勃發展帶動了眾多周邊產業的興起，舉凡智慧家居、智慧城市、智慧醫療等。如何確保所使用的物聯網裝置是否安全，在實務上被寄予高度重視。過去幾年，針對軟體漏洞發生了幾起大規模的DDoS攻擊，並在短時間內造成嚴重傷害，因此，我們需要一套有效的軟體更新解決方案。

本論文提出一個基於區塊鏈技術與MQTT協定之軟體更新框架，其適用於閘道器對外通訊並對內管理多項物聯網裝置的場景。MQTT伺服器被安裝於相應的節點，以自動、即時地進行軟體更新的推送。區塊鏈記錄了裝置製造商發布的軟體更新相關記錄，使裝置擁有者得以驗證所收到的更新其來源與完整性。另外，智慧合約被用來記錄裝置擁有者的購買行為、提供MQTT伺服器與相關金鑰的查詢、提供裝置的軟體訂閱服務等。

本文實作了框架原型並進行相關實驗。結果顯示，本文所提出的框架得以有效、安全、及時地將軟體更新推送至閘道器。另外，與傳統的方案相比，所提出的框架在結合了區塊鏈技術與MQTT協定後，可成為一種針對軟體更新更有效的解決方案。

With the debut of digital transformation epoch, the vigorous development of IoT applications has led to the rise of many peripheral industries like smart homes, smart cities, smart healthcare, etc. The practical issue of how to ensure the security of deployed IoT devices is highly valued. Over the past few years, several large-scale DDoS attacks have exploited software vulnerabilities on IoT devices, and cause severe damage in a short time. Therefore, an effective software update solution on IoT devices is in demand.

In this thesis, a software update framework based on blockchain technology and MQTT protocol is proposed. It is suitable for scenarios that gateways are used to communicate externally and manage multiple IoT devices internally. MQTT servers are installed in corresponding blockchain nodes to support automatic real-time software update delivery. Blockchain technology is used to store software update release records by manufacturers so that users can use records to verify the source and integrity of received software updates. Other than that, smart contracts are adopted to store users' purchasing record, provide inquiries for users about MQTT servers and related keys, and provide subscription services for users about dedicated IoT devices, etc.

A framework prototype is constructed and experiments are conducted. Based on the experimental results, the proposed framework can effectively and securely deliver software updates to targeted gateways in real-time scale. In addition, the results also show that the proposed framework combining existing blockchain and MQTT technologies may be a more efficient way for software updates than traditional solutions.
