Implementation of IoT Security System by Incorporating Block Chain Technology

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) allows both physical and virtual objects to communicate with each other over a network. The services provided with IoT helps in easing the day-to-day activities. IoT has numerous advantages like scalability and ease of access but the drawback of the IoT system is that a centralized cloud is required for data storage and ensure the security and privacy of the users. In order to eliminate the drawback of IoT, recent studies have highlighted the integration of IoT systems with the distributed ledger technologies like Blockchain. The Blockchain technology would provide military grade security to the data. This article presents a comprehensive literature review for the Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain protocols.
