Towards the Integration of Blockchain and IoT for Security Challenges in IoT

Abstract

Internet of things (IoT) technology plays a vital role in the current technologies because IoT develops a network by integrating different kinds of objects and sensors to create the communication among objects directly without human interaction. With the presence of internet of things technology in our daily comes smart thinking and various advantages. At the same time, secure systems have been a most important concern for the protection of information systems and networks. However, adopting traditional security management systems in the internet of things leads several issues due to the limited privacy and policies like privacy standards, protocol stacks, and authentication rules. Usually, IoT devices has limited network capacities, storage, and computing processors. So they are having more chances to attacks. Data security, privacy, and reliability are three main challenges in the IoT security domain. To address the solutions for the above issues, IoT technology has to provide advanced privacy and policies in this large incoming data source. Blockchain is one of the trending technologies in the privacy management to provide the security. So this chapter is focused on the blockchain technologies which can be able to solve several IoT security issues. This review mainly focused on the state-of-the-art IoT security issues and vulnerabilities by existing review works in the IoT security domains. The taxonomy is presented about security issues in the view of communication, architecture, and applications. Also presented are the challenges of IoT security management systems. The main aim of this chapter is to describe the importance of blockchain technology in IoT security systems. Finally, it highlights the future directions of blockchain technology roles in IoT systems, which can be helpful for further improvements.

Analysis of IoT Security Challenges and Its Solutions Using Artificial Intelligence

“…Data collection for IoT security is difficult. When working with IoT data, it is critical to understand the data collection process [ 62 ]. Statistics that are inaccurate or incomplete, outliers, and other flaws may jeopardize the security of the aging process or insufficient IoT devices [ 122 ].…”

“…An IoT device is a piece of hardware with a sensor that can send information to a remote location over the Internet. A complicated system must be built with the least amount of time, money, and effort possible because there are so many sensors involved in its operation [ 61 ]. Patient information is sensitive and valuable, making data security crucial in industries such as healthcare.…”

“…Patient information is sensitive and valuable, making data security crucial in industries such as healthcare. Numerous IoT applications must make intelligent decisions in real time based on the preferences of the user [ 62 ].…”

Risk and threat mitigation techniques in internet of things (IoT) environments: a survey

“…Before a device joins a system Device self-protection and selfdefence Hromada et al, 2023;Kamalov et al, 2023;Kumar et al, 2023;Stergiou et al, 2023). They introduce different classifications of IoT security challenges from varying perspectives.…”

E-Government Privacy and Security Challenges in the Context of Internet of Things

“…E-government refers to a variety of factors, including the use of the Internet and equipment like computers, to make government work easier while providing services to residents [33]. Adopting an e-government model can give several benefits to various stakeholders while also improving the functionality of services [34]. Within a perfectly working general pattern, people can use government services directly without going through several providers [35].…”
