Secure Data Storage and Sharing for IoT Devices

Abstract

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the need for secure data storage and sharing has become a pressing concern. With millions of devices generating vast amounts of data, the risk of data breaches, hacking, and unauthorized access is increasingly high. This paper proposes a novel approach to secure data storage and sharing for IoT devices, utilizing blockchain technology and edge computing. The proposed system utilizes a decentralized architecture, where IoT devices are equipped with blockchain-enabled nodes that store and manage their own data. Edge computing is employed to process and analyze data in real-time, reducing the need for centralized servers and minimizing latency. The blockchain-based architecture ensures that data is secure, tamper-proof, and transparent, with immutable records and consensus-based validation. The proposed system has significant implications for various industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. By providing a secure and transparent platform for data storage and sharing, this technology can revolutionize the way IoT devices interact with each other and with humans.
