Blockchain Technology in Internet of Things

This book presents practical as well as conceptual insights into the latest trends, tools, techniques and methodologies of blockchains for the Internet of Things. The decentralised Internet of Things (IoT) not only reduces infrastructure costs, but also provides a standardised peer-to-peer communication model for billions of transactions. However, there are significant security challenges associated with peer-to-peer communication.

This book focuses on the integration of blockchain technology for IoT systems, exploring the methodologies behind each component of the system to bolster the data security and protect privacy. It also discusses the essential algorithms necessary for the efficient implementation of blockchain in IoT systems to provide security and privacy. With the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring data security and privacy has become a critical concern due to the significant economic value associated with IoT data.

The three-volume set LNICST 465, 466 and 467 constitutes the proceedings of the Second EAI International Conference on Application of Big Data, Blockchain, and Internet of Things for Education Informatization, BigIoT-EDU 2022, held as virtual event, in July 29–31, 2022.
