Utilizing Blockchain Technologies with IoT: Review Paper

The core aim of the internet of things is providing communication capability between huge numbers of different entities “things”. The Abundance feature of connected devices to the emergence of many security challenges for IoT data, which in turn stimulate researchers to search for appropriate solutions. The Blockchain is one of the security technologies which consider as a game changer in safeguarding the internet of things data. Through its impact, it has made the addition of more devices into the Blockchain ecosystem. Boosting the security of devices used in IoT to accelerate the rate of adoption of Blockchain technology. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the current literature to determine how the management of IoT has become independent and widespread doing away with the need of having to rely on one entity in the storage of data in the new technology, Blockchain assumes the role of a database making it different from the storage methods used in the past. In addition to, the authors have organized the utilization of Blockchain in a well-defined structure. Finally, this paper concluded that by utilization of Blockchain results in improved security and distribution using devices such as sensors which are connected efficiently with the aim of coming up with a secure database which gives rise to lots of business opportunities in the future.
