IoT and Blockchain Integration Challenges

By 2025, more than 96% of products will have Internet of Things (IoT) components at their core, the rapid spread of IoT inspires the development of novel applications for the end user, illustrating just how dominant this technology will become. However, if proper safety measures are not taken, serious issues may arise, such as the victimization of innocent people in crimes like burglary caused by the unauthorized disabling of a smart system. Blockchain, a distributed ledger system, is rapidly becoming a match in the field of data transfer with security. The Internet of Things (IoT) network will get the benefit from blockchain technology, which makes IoT possible to build trust in distributed networks without the need for a governing body to intervene. In this article, we focus on the most significant challenges that have still to be solved in order to achieve integration in between IoT and the Blockchain.
