Adaptation of Blockchain Architecture to the Internet of Things and Performance Analysis

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) security and privacy criteria are seen as an important challenge due to IoT architecture. In this study, the security of the IoT system that is created with devices integrated into the embedded system by means of various sensors has been ensured by using a single cryptographic structure. The data transmitted between the nodes in the IoT structure is transmitted to the central node using the Blockchain data structure. The transmitted data is verified at central nodes and the energies consumed between nodes during the transmission phase is detected. An infrastructure has been developed for how blockchain technology can be used in the IoT structure. In this study, an experimental environment was developed and comparative analysis were made in terms of energy consumption and data transfer rates.
