IoT Security Using Blockchain

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become increasingly significant in our daily lives since it facilitates business and smart development. In IoT systems, privacy and security are undermined by the absence of mechanisms that regulate access and protect data. Many studies have been done to find the best ways to improve privacy and security. One of these is using blockchain in the IoT. The chapter aims to acquaint the reader with the latest developments in IoT security using blockchain technology. This chapter presents an overview of this crucial technology and discusses its security aspects in the IoT. It also discusses its business and social impacts. This study examines the challenges and opportunities in IoT security as well as how integration with blockchain can help address some of them.
