Abstract
The broad adoption of the Internet of Things during the last decade has widened the application horizons of distributed sensor networks, ranging from smart home appliances to automation, including remote sensing. Typically, these distributed systems are composed of several nodes attached to sensing devices linked by a heterogeneous communication network. The unreliable nature of these systems (e.g., devices might run out of energy or communications might become unavailable) drives practitioners to implement heavyweight fault tolerance mechanisms to identify those untrustworthy nodes that are misbehaving erratically and, thus, ensure that the sensed data from the IoT domain are correct. The overhead in the communication network degrades the overall system, especially in scenarios with limited available bandwidth that are exposed to severely harsh conditions. Quantum Internet might be a…
