Abstract

Over the last few years, IoT progressed exponentially in field of automation by providing M2M communication. With increase in popularity of IoT, number of devices connected to the internet has also increased. These devices share confidential information and are vulnerable to attacks. However, securing the IoT is challenging because of its resource-constrained and heterogeneous environment. This paper discusses about the challenges and implementation of blockchain technology in IoT which can withstand cybercrime and network flaws.
