Blockchain Technology for Secure and Trustworthy IoT Networks

EasyChair Preprint 14098

Abstract

This research investigates the transformative potential of blockchain technology in enhancing the security and trustworthiness of Internet of Things (IoT) networks. With the proliferation of IoT devices, ensuring secure communication, data integrity, and trust among devices and users has become a critical challenge. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized, immutable, and transparent nature, offers a promising solution to these issues. The study explores various blockchain architectures and consensus mechanisms tailored for IoT environments, focusing on their ability to provide secure communication, robust access control, and reliable data provenance. Additionally, it examines the integration of blockchain with IoT devices, highlighting the challenges of scalability, energy efficiency, and real-time processing. Through comprehensive analysis and experimentation, the research aims to demonstrate how blockchain can be effectively utilized to build secure, scalable, and trustworthy IoT networks, paving the way for more resilient and autonomous IoT ecosystems.
