Blockchain Technology for Security Issues and Challenges in IOT
Zhengping Ruan
Abstract
With the help of the Internet of Things (IoT), an evolving technology, issues may be solved in the fields of research and engineering without the involvement of a human workforce. It allows for the creation of interactions between machines and people, or smart work force. Although there may be advantages to integrating blockchain technology with IoT, doing so also creates additional difficulties, such as scalability issues when designing blockchains for IoT applications. In this chapter, we examine the main advantages, design considerations, and possible blockchain applications for the Internet of Things (IoT). A central server model is dropped and blockchain (BC) technology is added as a component of IoT to solve such security and privacy problems. This study examines how the distributed ledger-based blockchain technology affects potential security and privacy concerns related to the interplay of IoT components. Applications of BC with regard to the targeted industries and categories were obviously examined here. To comprehend the role of blockchain technology, certain issues unique to IoT and IoT with BC were also explored.
