Blockchain and IoT for Personal and Physical Security

Abstract

The Internet of Things connects intelligent physical objects (things) and people. IoT enables every “Thing” to connect and interact, creating and transferring massive amounts of data. Because IoT de-vices handle so much data, it became necessary to incorporate Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, and Information Modelling. The significant rise in IoT is creating a surge in ICT business. By 2020, 95% of new goods will include IoT at their heart. As can be seen, IoT items will be more pre-sent, raising concerns about their visibility on the internet and legal access to resources. Innovating apps that improve a person's physical and personal life are enabled by IoT, but people's lack of security and susceptibility may lead to serious concerns like home security being penetrated and centralized organisations employing sensitive data being hacked. Blockchain technology is getting widespread interest and investigation because to its remarkable solutions to the challenges connected with the traditional centralized IoT architecture. Because there are so many IoT devices on the mar-ket for enhancing physical and mental health, and overall quality of life, a distributed trust platform that ensures scalability, privacy, and reliability is required. Integration of IoT and BC is a complex task. This research paper's goal is to create an IOT and Blockchain Application Environment that will improve a person's personal and physical existence. Thus, our main emphasis will be on developing a secure and safe Smart Home. Our suggested design uses a hierarchical and distributed blockchain platform to preserve security and privacy while meeting IoT needs. Thus, we have linked home automation with physical health, assuring safety, convenience, and health.
