USING BLOCK CHAIN TECHNOLOGY IN IOT
Abstract
The main determination of this research project paper is to focus on the application of the block
chain technology in the IoT based devices. The different applications of the block chain
technology in the IoT based systems such as the protection of the integrity and confidentiality of
the data is mentioned in this paper. The different types of IoT based devices which are connected
with the help of a centralized or a decentralized server can be tracked or managed with the help
of the block chain technology. The processing of the transactions, co-ordination between the
devices and efficient data handling are the primary objectives of block chain technology in the
IoT based devices. Human intervention is no longer required in most of the IoT based automated
technologies which have lots of challenges associated to it; these are the main reason why block
chain technology can be useful. Those challenges and threats can be minimized with the help of
the security solutions provided by the block chain technology. The future applications of the
block chain technologies such as the use of the distributed clouds will be helping to improve the
networking system of the IoT based eco-systems. The paper will be highlighting the positive and
the negative impacts of the block chain technology in the centralized and the decentralized IoT
networks. The application of the smart contracts, importance of the bitcoins of the block chain
revolution, challenges and opportunities of the block chain technology in the IoT based devices
will be stated in this paper in an professional manner.

This resource helps in understanding the impact of the block chain technology in the
centralized and the decentralized data intensive applications. The resource is useful to
understanding the effectiveness of block chain technology in preserving the privacy of the users
of the IoT based devices. The authors of this resource focussed on the Private by design data
management which is an important aspect for maintaining the integrity of the data.
