ENHANCING SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN IOT NETWORKS THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
Keywords:
Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Security, Privacy, DecentralizationAbstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized various sectors by enabling seamless communication between devices. However, the rapid growth of IoT networks has introduced significant security and privacy challenges due to the decentralized and resource-constrained nature of these devices. Blockchain technology, known for its decentralized and tamper-resistant features, offers a promising solution to address these challenges. This paper explores the integration of blockchain technology with IoT networks to enhance security and privacy. We discuss the architecture, benefits, and limitations of blockchain in IoT applications, and propose a novel framework for secure data exchange. A case study in smart home environments is presented to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed framework.
