Blockchain and IoT Integration Approaches and Applications

However, the lack of an intrinsic security measure within IoT makes it especially vulnerable to privacy and security threats.Blockchain and IoT Integrationhighlights how Blockchain, an encrypted, distributed computer filing system, can be used to help protect IoT against such privacy and security breaches.
The merger of IoT and blockchain technology is a step towards creating a verifiable, secure, and permanent method of recording data processed by "smart" machines. The text explores the platforms and applications of blockchain-enabled IoT as well as helps clarify how to strengthen the IoT security found in healthcare systems as well as private homes. Other highlights of the book include:

• Overview of the blockchain architecture
  
• Blockchain to secure IoT data
  
• Blockchain to secure drug supply chain and combat counterfeits
  
• Blockchain IoT concepts for smart grids, smart cities, and smart homes
  
• A biometric-based blockchain enabled payment system
  
• IoT for smart healthcare monitoring systems
