The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing human life with the idea of interconnecting everyday used devices (Things) and making them 'smart'. By establishing a communication network between devices, the IoT system aids in automating tasks and making them efficient and powerful. The sensors and the physical world, connected over a network, involve a massive amount of data. The data collection and sharing possess a critical threat of being stolen and manipulated over the network. These inadequate data security and privacy issues in IoT systems raise concerns about maintaining authentication of IoT data. Blockchain, a tempter-resistant ledger, has emerged as a viable alternative to provide security features. Blockchain technologies with decentralized structures can help resolve IoT structure issues and protect against a single point of failure. While providing robust security features, Blockchain also bears various critical challenges in the IoT environment to adapt. This paper presents a survey on state-of-the-art Blockchain technologies focusing on IoT applications. With Blockchain protocols and data structures, the IoT applications are outlined, along with possible advancements and modifications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
