A survey on blockchain security for cloud and IoT environment
Keywords:
Blockchain technology, Cloud Data Security, Fog computing, Internet of ThingsAbstract
In traditional Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems, fog devices transmit data from sensors to a centralized cloud server. Issues with security and upkeep while updating firmware for millions of smart devices, single points of failure, as well as third-party Cloud server administration, the difficulty of frequently updating the firmware on millions of smart devices presents security and maintenance issues as well as a bottleneck in information flows, all raise privacy concerns. Blockchain technology eliminates the need for trusted third parties while also preventing single points of failure and other issues. As a result, academics are looking into the usage of blockchain in the IoT space. The most recent state-of-the-art developments in blockchain for IoT, blockchain for Cloud, blockchain for eHealth, smart cities, transportation, and other programmes are examined in this article.
