Blockchain-Based Solutions for Secure Data Sharing in IoT Environments

Abstract

Blockchain-based solutions have emerged as promising frameworks for ensuring secure data sharing in Internet of Things (IoT) environments. This abstract explores the application of blockchain technology to address the challenges associated with data privacy, integrity, and trust in IoT ecosystems. By leveraging the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain, data sharing processes can be securely facilitated among diverse IoT devices and platforms. This abstract discusses the key components of blockchain-based solutions for secure data sharing in IoT, including smart contracts, consensus mechanisms, and cryptographic techniques.  Furthermore, it highlights the potential benefits such as enhanced data transparency, auditability, and accountability, while mitigating the risks of data manipulation, unauthorized access, and single points of failure. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing research and case studies, this abstract provides insights into the current state-of-the-art, challenges, and future directions in the adoption of blockchain technology for secure data sharing in IoT environments.
