The integration of blockchain technology and Internet of Things (IoT) computing has emerged as a promising approach for secure and decentralized data management. Here we explore integrating the blockchain with IoT computing to enhance data security, integrity, and privacy. By leveraging the immutability, transparency, and distributed consensus of blockchain, the study aims to investigate how this integration can overcome the limitations of traditional centralized data management approaches in the IoT ecosystem. The chapter conducts a comprehensive literature review to identify the key advantages and challenges associated with integrating blockchain and IoT computing. It examines real-world use cases, implementation strategies, and the security and privacy considerations involved in the integration. Through this exploration, we uncover these two techniques to foster a new era of data management that prioritizes security, transparency, and autonomy.
