Abstract

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) is being integrated into education to enhance device interactions and academic service exchanges. However, traditional SIoT relationships do not fully align with the academic environment, where interactions should be role-based. Additionally, effective access control is necessary, but conventional XACML frameworks struggle to represent key social factors like relationship type and interaction frequency. To address this, we propose an Educational Social Internet of Things (Educational SIoT) platform using a blockchain-based approach. This platform introduces education-specific social relationships and extends XACML policies to incorporate social constraints, priority- based decision algorithms, and delegation mechanisms. Performance evaluations show that access requests are processed in 0.22 ms, while delegation requests take 0.32 ms. Additionally, the platform ensures security against threats such as man-in-the-middle and replay attacks.
