Study on Blockchain-Integrated IoT

Abstract

The continuous development of interconnected devices is reconstructing livelihood and with the emergence of advanced technology yields growth in the usage of IoT devices. Though it is revolutionary and brings convenience, it faces different security challenges. The transition from traditional to smart in varieties of sectors makes the use of IoT technologies to become an integral part of lives which obviously requires a protection shield that can be offered by Blockchain. Blockchain's protected decentralization overcomes different hazards the IoT structure is facing. In this chapter, the authors have represented a detailed study on IoT, its layer and applications, a comparative analysis of different security threats, how an association with blockchain would mitigate different shortcomings of present IoT architecture, and the issues that exist in Blockchain-associated IoT.
