Examining the Implications of Blockchain Integration in IoT Environments
Main Article Content
Abstract
A dramatic shift in the present network architecture exemplifies how two of the most promising new technologies, blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT), are already reshaping our digital future. The Internet of Things (IoT) has given our everyday items intelligence, allowing them to interact with us and each other in new ways. This has led to the accumulation of vast amounts of data, which can be analyzed and used to make intelligent decisions. It has changed the very nature of how we see the physical world and brought our ideal of the seamless merger of the digital and physical realms to fruition. But the problem with existing Internet of Things solutions is that they need a third party with control over everything—like a cloud server. The most important consequences of the most difficult Internet of Things (IoT) situations, as shown by recent studies, when it comes to connecting and interacting online, are covered in this study. An unexpected initial step in the design process is to propose a decentralized system, similar to a distributed or P2P (peer-to-peer) network, which poses a much greater threat to data privacy and security because of the enormous amounts of sensitive information that would be generated. This case illustrates how the blockchain may provide a reliable and decentralized/P2P architecture for exchanging information and accomplishing goals such as immutability of data, auditability, resilience, security, privacy, and access. By combining blockchain with IoT, we can address each technology's limitations and reap the full advantages of both. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Bitcoin are also covered in detail in this study. We walk you through every aspect of the two systems, from the fundamentals of blockchain technology to the inner workings of the blockchain-based Internet of Things (BIoT), and even show you some BIoT apps and how they compare to the others.
