Increasing privacy and security by integrating a Blockchain Secure Interface into an IoT Device Security Gateway Architecture

Internet of Things and Blockchain are considered two major technologies. Lower latency and a higher linked system number provide greater flexibility for remote execution of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It is no secret that IoT devices often have insufficient computing capacity (both in ter...
