Analyze Compatibility Issues in Integrating Heterogeneous Devices with Blockchain Systems
Keywords:
Internet of things (IoT), Blockchain (BC), Blockchain with IoT.Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects interconnected over the internet to gather data and facilitate intelligent decision-making. It is a swiftly expanding domain globally, accompanied by accelerated advancements in research sectors. It facilitates worldwide access, monitoring, and control of these devices. The absence of internal security controls jeopardizes IoT, and its rampant use has led to several security and privacy issues. The deficiencies of IoT may be addressed with the integration of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is a secure, decentralized database management solution that organizes data into blocks. This paper presents a concise overview of the integration of blockchain and IoT. This article's primary contributions are: (i) the benefits of combining both technologies, (ii) the obstacles to their integration, (iii) the use of blockchain and IoT in the education sector, and (iv) prospective advancements of IoT with blockchain.
