Block chain, a promising technology is emerging as a boon for many sectors. IoT, at the same time has brought about a tide of innovation with its wide range of applications. However, the problem with IoT is ensuring the security of the sensor based data storage. The possible and feasible solution for this problem can be formulated using Block chain. Block chain has begun to have a significant influence in the Internet of Things by enhancing security, empowering the incorporation of an increasing number of devices into the ecosystem. The improvements in IoT gadget security encourage quicker appropriation of this progressive advancement, and will open up an extensive variety of potential outcomes for endeavors in the days to come. Hereby we aim to propose a new IoT server platform by introducing a block chain. This system can be a radical departure from traditional processes of storing data and it can also remove the bottlenecks associated with the traditional cloud based data storing systems. It aims at retrieving sensitive data from the IoT devices and securely storing as well as maintaining it in the block chain and controlling the access to this data.
