Synopsis:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging technology that integrates technologies and aspects coming from varied approaches. Pervasive computing, ubiquitous computing, communication technologies, sensing technologies, Internet Protocol and embedded devices are integrated together to form a system where the digital and real worlds collaborate. Huge number of interconnected devices and enormous data opens new opportunities to create services capable of bringing tangible benefits to the economy, environment, society and individual citizens. Owing to the massiveness of IoT and inadequate data security, the impact of security breaches may turn out to be humongous leading to severe impacts. In addition to connecting devices, IoT also connects people and other entities thereby making every IoT component vulnerable to huge range of attacks. Further, the radical digitization of industry coupled with the explosion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has set up a paradigm shift for industrial and manufacturing companies. Blockchain, a tamper resistant and distributed ledger that maintains consistent data records at different locations has the capability to address the IoT security concerns. Owing to the fault tolerance capabilities, decentralized architecture and cryptographic security benefits such as authentication, data integrity, pseudonymous identities, security analysts and researchers consider blockchain to resolve privacy and security issues of IoT. Apart from providing data security solution to IoT, blockchain also encounters numerous inherent IoT challenges such as limited computing power, massive number of devices, error prone radio links and low communication bandwidth. Blockchain is also used in identity management, voting, healthcare, government records and supply chain. Blockchain finds application in various economy sectors to build trust and has been applied successfully to digital cryptocurrencies. Hence blockchain technology is today’s world is becoming an emerging and disruptive future technology providing numerous opportunities to various industries.
The emerging and promising state-of-the-art of ubiquitous computing, future IoT and blockchain technology motivated us to propose this book which will focus on various aspects of IoT and blockchain systems like trust management, identity management, security threats, access control and privacy. The book aims to report advances in the field of IoT, ubiquitous computing and blockchain that includes the applications, concepts and theory. Moreover, the book aims to highlight the inherent blockchain possibilities for various economy sectors and the additional value that blockchain can provide for the future of these sectors.
Objectives, Impact, and Value:
1. To provide insights of the IoT generated security issues
2. To develop understanding of the role of blockchain in terms of IoT security issues
3. To realize the technology of blockchain management
4. To develop understanding of the existing security solutions, their limitations and future directions.
