Abstract

With the advent of IoT, Internet dominance has been extended far and wide, resulting in management of billions of smart devices online. However, all the management frameworks in IoT developed so far are based on centralized models, which have their own set of issues like single point of failure and security constraints. To encounter major issues like this, Blockchain provides an effective alternative to encounter the issues of security and privacy. Blockchain is being a distributed and decentralized ledger framework, when used with IoT helps to encounter a lot of security related constraints. In this paper, a detailed study related to Blockchain has been conducted and how well it works in collaboration with IoT to overcome all the major security and privacy issues in an IoT ecosystem. Many other applications of Blockchain in an IoT environment were also studied, with the intention of exploring all the potential benefits it can provide while working with IoT.
