The global rise in Internet penetration and the increased speed of the Internet have propelled the rapid development of technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT). As a result, IoT is not only transforming engineering applications by addressing challenges without human intervention but also extending its influence to everyday activities, automating and streamlining modern living. This automation not only saves significant time but also ensures accuracy, making IoT a convenient and indispensable option for various tasks, including home lighting automation. However, the widespread use of IoT introduces vulnerabilities, particularly in terms of security. Since IoT devices are network-controlled, they are susceptible to security attacks due to the convergence of communication technology, information technology, electronic sensors, and actuator technology.
This vulnerability can lead to potential security breaches, allowing unauthorized access and control over IoT-connected appliances. In response to these security concerns, there is a growing demand for robust IoT security solutions. Blockchain technology emerges as a major solution to address the security challenges associated with IoT. Blockchain is leveraged to track sensor data and prevent the duplication of malicious data. Instead of relying on a third party to establish trust, sensors can securely exchange data through a blockchain network. This decentralized and distributed approach enhances the integrity and security of IoT ecosystems. The integration of blockchain with IoT not only safeguards against security threats but also ensures the reliability and trustworthiness of the data exchanged between IoT devices.
This synergy is poised to drive the growth of the global blockchain IoT market during the forecast period. As industries and individuals increasingly recognize the critical importance of securing IoT deployments, the demand for blockchain-based solutions is expected to continue growing, fostering a secure and resilient IoT landscape. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices with existing networks often comes with significant operational costs and maintenance requirements. However, IoT devices stand out as user-friendly and budget-friendly solutions. The sensors and overall assembly of IoT devices are designed for ease of use, making them accessible and cost-effective. Additionally, IoT devices can seamlessly integrate with existing networking devices and appliances, eliminating the need for substantial upfront investments.
