Cryptography and Blockchain Solutions for Security Protection of Internet of Things Applications
Kamalendu Pal · Advances in information security, privacy, and ethics book series · 2022
In recent decades, the industrial applications of the internet of things (IoT) have been attracting massive motivation for research and improvement of industrial operations. The IoT technology integrates various smart objects (or things) to form a network, share data among the connected objects, store data, and process data to support business applications. It is challenging to find a univocal architecture as a reference for different business applications, which can relate to many sensors, intelligence devices, networks, and protocols for operations. Moreover, some of the IoT infrastructural components are a shortage of computational processing power, locally saving ability, and data communication capacity, and these components are very vulnerable to privacy and security attacks. This chapter presents an overview of different IoT-based architectures and security-related issues. Finally, the chapter discusses the challenges of cryptography and blockchain-based solutions after reviewing the threats of IoT-based industry-specific business cases.
