Abstract

With the continuous increase in the applications of blockchain, the research and academic circles are constantly exploring and providing guidelines for the use of blockchain in new directions. The use of this technology has given new dimension in the Internet of Things (IoT) systems. In this chapter, the authors are providing an outline and structure of blockchain and its various applications in IoT. Blockchain technology helps in building trustless and efficient secure environment in IoT. Therefore, the authors think it is necessary to aim the basic shape of this technology and explain its use and applications in IoT in a concise and comprehensive way. This chapter starts with introduction of blockchain and IoT supported by its working in various applications of IoT. The authors believe that this chapter will provide a basic idea to users in understanding blockchain technology in IoT applications.
