Abstract
The Internet of Things has emerged as an area of incredible potential and growth, complemented by the advent of smart devices with increased computational power. However, these complex systems have large attack surfaces making them susceptible to various security attacks. Most common among these are data forgery and identity theft. Further, once the IoT is compromised, the smart devices may be controlled remotely by the attacker and used as botnets in Distributed Denial of Service attacks. The size and scale of the complex system result in technical challenges in management, synchronization, and security. In this paper, a blockchain model is proposed and implemented to secure the IoT system. Using Ethereum, a private blockchain model is developed, verified its functionality in a simulated IoT environment, and analyzed the performance of the model. Further, a web-based interface to the IoT system is developed to demonstrate the working of the blockchain.
