Abstract In the given technology-driven era, smart cities are the next frontier of technology, and these smart cities aim to improve the quality of people's lives. In this article, we introduce such future Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart cities that leverage blockchain technology. Particularly, when there are multiple parties involved, blockchain helps in improving the security and transparency of the system in an efficient manner. However, if a current fee-based or first-come-first-serve-based processing is used, emergency events may get delayed and even threaten people's lives. Thus, there is a need for transaction prioritization based on the priority of information and a dynamic block creation mechanism for efficient data recording and faster event response. Also, our system focuses on the consortium blockchain maintained by a group of members working across different organizations to provide more efficiency. The leader election procedure in such a consortium blockchain becomes more important for the transaction prioritization process to take place honestly. Hence, in our proposed consensus protocol, we deploy a machine-learning (ML) algorithm to achieve efficient leader election, based on which a novel dynamic block creation algorithm is designed. Also, to ensure the honest block generation behavior of the leader, a peer-prediction-based verification mechanism is proposed. Both security analysis and simulation experiments are carried out to demonstrate the robustness, accuracy, and efficiency of our proposed scheme. © 2014 IEEE.
