Enhanced Security, Privacy, and Data Integrity in IoT Through Blockchain Integration

Harsh Yadav

Abstract


This paper explores the transformative impact of integrating blockchain technology into IoT systems, focusing on fortifying security, preserving privacy, and ensuring data integrity. Quantitative assessments revealed a 30% reduction in reported data breaches, a 95% accuracy rate in detecting tampering attempts, and a 25% decrease in exposed sensitive data instances within blockchain-integrated IoT networks. Furthermore, advancements in privacy preservation techniques demonstrated a 40% reduction in user identity exposure and a 30% increase in transaction privacy. The study also sheds light on promising scalability solutions, showcasing a 50% enhancement in transaction throughput through sharding implementation. These quantitative results validate the efficacy of blockchain integration, presenting a compelling case for its adoption in revolutionizing IoT security paradigms
