Blockchain<\/strong><\/a> and the Internet of Things <\/strong><\/a>are two of the most talked-about and leading technologies<\/strong><\/a>. They are influencing businesses around the world. Domains like E-commerce, Retail, Manufacturing, and Healthcare. They are continuously working and identifying new developments under these technologies<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data and transaction security is a major concern for any business and puts up as one of the most serious questions in the IoT sector. In this article, We will discuss the use of Blockchain Technologies<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>to secure the <\/strong>Internet of Things<\/strong><\/a> in a critical way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We bring you a brief introduction to Blockchain, followed by an explanation. How blockchain can be used to improve the security of IoT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Internet<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain<\/a> is a distributed database technology<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>that is very hard to tamper with ledger records. It allows storage of all the transactions in permanent databases and the distribution of each record across several participant nodes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The security comes from the use of strong public-key cryptography, strong cryptographic hash, and complete decentralization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technology’s main concept is blocked. They are a set of minor transactions that have occurred within the system. Each new block stores the link of the previous transaction by including an SHA-256 hash of the previous transaction.  As a result,  it creates a \u2018<\/strong>chain\u2018 <\/strong>of blocks and hence the name. Blocks are computationally challenging to create, requiring several specialized processors and a considerable amount of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it is difficult to generate a block and tampering one block requires tampering with the previous block. Then following the chain to fully change. Blockchain technology is called tamper-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
