Blockchain of Things: Research Challenges and Applications
In recent years, Internet of Things (IoT) has reshaped the whole tech-industry to a smart industry with capability of intelligent decision making. However, security, privacy, and interoperability of the connected devices are still the challenges faced by the IoT industry. Blockchain capabilities can help in addressing these challenges. The convergence of blockchain and Internet of Things named as Blockchain of things (BCoT) is a major technical breakthrough that provides basic services with additional functionalities, benefits, and implementations in terms of secure, seamless and autonomous computing environment. Amalgamation of Blockchain and IoT provides benefits in terms of improved and efficient qualities such as interoperability, reliability, scalability, privacy, and security of IoT.
The main objective of this book is to avail academicians, researchers, and practitioners a common platform for understanding current state of art development in techniques/technologies from Blockchain and its integration with IoT. All the aspects such as theoretical and practical contributions, simulated works, review, and case studies will be available to the reader which will provide them with a comprehensive guideline to extend the state-of-the-art by developing novel methods for providing solutions for the Blockchain of things.
