The rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices created new demands for secure data management. To address these needs, we propose LIBLO, a lightweight blockchain-based smart NFT architecture designed for decentralized environments with limited resources. Traditional models mostly depend on heavy computation techniques to ensure the data security. To avoid this, LIBLO introduces a compressed blockchain layer combined with lightweight encryption techniques. This allows secure storage, verification, and controlled access to IoT-generated data without overloading devices. In this architecture, LIBLO acts as a trusted digital framework that securely encapsulates metadata, ownership identity, and access control policies. Each transaction is verified through digital signatures and efficiently recorded on a compressed blockchain ledger. This design ensures privacy, traceability, and integrity and also contributes to energy-efficient implementation in real-time IoT scenarios. Experimental results demonstrate that the suggested LIBLO achieves high encryption strength and strong decryption accuracy of 0.96%, and low error rates of (1.1%). By simplifying cryptographic operations and reducing blockchain complexities, LIBLO presents a practical and adaptable solution for securing digital assets and IoT interactions in smart environments.
