Blockchain-Based Security Solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT)

EasyChair Preprint 14010

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) landscape, characterized by a vast number of interconnected devices, presents a complex and expansive attack surface for potential cyber threats. This research investigates how blockchain technology, renowned for its secure and tamper-proof attributes, can be effectively implemented to enhance the security of IoT systems. By leveraging blockchain’s decentralized and immutable ledger, the study explores solutions for ensuring secure communication, robust access control, and reliable data provenance among IoT devices. Blockchain’s ability to provide a transparent and verifiable record of transactions and interactions can significantly mitigate the risks associated with data breaches and unauthorized access. The research also examines the scalability and integration challenges of deploying blockchain in IoT environments, proposing frameworks and strategies to address these issues. Ultimately, this study aims to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of blockchain-based security solutions in safeguarding the integrity and trustworthiness of IoT ecosystems.
