Blockchain and IoT Integration: Approaches and Applications

As technology continues to advance and the interconnection of various devices makes our lives easier, it also puts us at further risk of privacy and security threats. Phones can connect to household devices to help set alarms, turn on or off the lights, and even preheat ovens. The Internet of Things (Io T) is this symbiotic interplay of smart devices that collect data and make intelligent decisions. However, the lack of an intrinsic security measure within Io T makes it especially vulnerable to privacy and security threats. Blockchain and Io T Integration highlights how Blockchain, an encrypted, distributed computer filing system, can be used to help protect Io T against such privacy and security breaches. The merger of Io T and blockchain technology is a step towards creating a verifiable, secure, and permanent method of recording data processed by"smart"� machines. The text explores the platforms and applications of blockchain-enabled Io T as well as helps clarify how to strengthen the Io T security found in healthcare systems as well as private homes. Other highlights of the book include: Overview of the blockchain architecture Blockchain to secure Io T data Blockchain to secure drug supply chain and combat counterfeits Blockchain Io T concepts for smart grids, smart cities, and smart homes A biometric-based blockchain enabled payment system Io T for smart healthcare monitoring systems Additional ISBNs9781032114866, 9781003094210Blockchain and Io T Integration: Approaches and Applications 1st Edition is written by Kavita Saini and published by Auerbach Publications (T&F).
