An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Cornell University Library
Contributors: Please consider adding entries to this annotated bibliography (AB) as you read and research articles. This AB will serve as a reference for papers and presentations we collaborate on together and as individuals. APA style.

This paper starts off with one of the better high-level overviews of blockchain technology that I have read. The authors provide a great explanation of the basics around networking, protocols, smart contracts, and more. Following this overview, they discuss the benefits and challenges of using blockchain alongside IoT technology. A few real-world examples are discussed such as Slock.it, a company that allows users to control access to a smart lock by paying in Ether. The last section of the paper discusses some important deployment considerations that any administers of a blockchain network should consider.

The ideas are interesting and some introduction is provided regarding the GS1 protocol and tokenization using ERC-721 Non-Fungible Tokens on the Ethereum network.

This document discusses the use of an identity management system (IDMS) and utilizing a smart contract on a blockchain. The purpose is to eliminate the use of third-party authentication to reduce cost to the user and to enhance the security. It allows for a user to have a single login authentication source for multiple uses. Sections of the document break down the IDMS contract and how it is to be utilized with the contract.
It is mentioned several times throughout the document that this is a conceptual design but use strong references to back up the theory on how this can be used. By referencing whitepapers and Sovrin.org, the authors provide a strong sense of reliability on the information that is provided. The source seems to be neutral with only leaning towards the idea that the information being used for access should be controlled and owned by the user and not by the third-party companies, however, this is due more to the topic than the authors’ writing style.
