A need for blockchain and IoT integration

Internet of Things (IoT) an average user today needs the Internet for different purposes searching for information getting analyzed data and connecting with friends and family the worlds happening/current news can be watched at our comfort zone this is made possible with the inception of the internet which has made communication more fast and cheap.

IoT simply deals with the use of the internet in a more advanced way here sensors, objects, and bodies can be used for translating information that is digitalized into a physical human-readable language.

With the inception of IoT, a user can stand in front of a mirror and he can be communicated with the weather forecast, temperature of the day, and also get updated with climate changes in other countries.

How it works

IoT works with a combination of important elements A sensors this is used for reading and analyzing data from the physical environment which is then transferred to the data storage facility here information gotten from the sensor is stored in either a cloud or other storage device and then the processor function to process all the information gotten from the sensor and storage facility which finally filtered into readable information that humans can understand the final stage is users interface here the human is the final product that makes use of the analyzed information.

In essence, IoT works properly with combined components sensors data storage medium processor and finally the human interface who makes use of the information.

We can also see cars are built with multiple sensors that signal the driver when there is any malfunction in the brake of any relevant part of the car the dashboard service is the final human-readable interface while storage and processors are embedded into the car as chips

Limitation

Based on research carried out IoT has had major issues with security malicious users find it easy to tap into a user's information and steal important data, security has been a challenging issue in IoT.

Blockchain

Cryptography in blockchain technology made users' privacy/security a top priority with blockchain technology users info and data are hack-proof information stored cannot be altered or reversed as well these are important use cases of blockchain technology.

With Blockchain and IoT technology integration, a more flexible and scalable experience for users using IoT for their daily activities will be secure.

Final thought

With blockchain technology effectively used in IoT users, privacy and confidence will be increased our daily home appliances, cars, mobile devices are connected to the Internet which means IoT use cases can't be overlooked in this 21 century.
