Abstract

The exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced unprecedented convenience and interconnectivity, but also significant security vulnerabilities. Traditional security architectures are increasingly inadequate for the decentralized and resource-constrained nature of IoT networks. This article explores the integration of blockchain technology as a robust solution for enhancing IoT security. We discuss the architecture, potential applications, and current limitations of blockchain-based security frameworks in the IoT ecosystem. Real-world use cases in smart cities, healthcare, and industrial IoT are also presented.

Keywords
