Abstract

The key technological developments in the current era include Blockchain and the Internet of Things in varied application fields. There’s a difference between the above two technologies but the unison of the above two has a wider and practical acceptability in today’s technological scenario. The IoT is responsible for generating a large amount of data in varied fields like healthcare, retail, real-time forecasting, and smart city development. The data is quite useful in terms of big data analytics whereas the Blockchain will promote secure transactions of data along with varied application integration. Smart city can be considered as a prime application area for IoT and there are a lot of progressions among IoT devices, sensors, and actuators. IoT devices are capable enough of communicating among themselves via the Internet using lightweight protocols which results in making them more and more user-friendly. Though the Internet connectivity of IoT devices makes them more vulnerable in regards to data scalability, consistency, and safety, blockchain confirms the integrity of data as it is able in trailing and synchronizing connected devices. As it is based on a decentralized approach, which restricts the condition of a single point of failure thereby forming a steady interoperable safe system. Internet of Things (IoT) requires various tools and techniques for the purpose of information security which necessitates the operative expansion of any IoT cantered smart city. Various security threats are always looking for any ambiguities or loopholes, which can be exploited in any network; security threats are a perilous contest, which needs some action to be taken and implemented instantaneously. The book chapter will be discussing the implications of Blockchain and IoT in a metropolitan urban scenario.
