A rise in the use of blockchain systems implies an increase in smart contract usage. Blockchain systems can easily be found these days, most notably in cryptocurrencies and financial management. Furthermore, the Internet of Things (IoT) is being developed with blockchain, since blockchain ensures trust in IoT data and adds great flexibility. However, as with any other system, an increase in usage means the security of the blockchain system is becoming a more important aspect and an interesting area of research. Additionally, several pieces of research suggest that the smart contract is the most vulnerable component of the blockchain. In this paper, a simple prototype for a blockchain-based image encryption scheme for the Internet of Things will be implemented. This prototype will be implemented using Hyperledger Fabric Smart Contract and Self-Encryption scheme. Results will pro- pose that the encryption method implemented in the smart contract is secure enough against any other malicious users.
