Blockchain and Machine Learning for Iot Security

The Internet of Things (IoT) involves physical devices, cars, household appliances, and any other physical appliance equipped with sensors, software, and network connections to gather and communicate data. Nowadays, this technology is embedded in everything from simple smart devices, to wearable equipment, to complex industrial machinery and transportation infrastructures. On the other hand, IoT equipment has been designed without considering security issues. Consequently, there are many challenges in terms of protection against IoT threats, which can lead to distressing situations. In fact, unlike other technological solutions, there are few standards and guidelines governing the protection of IoT technology. Moreover, few users are aware of the risks associated with IoT systems.

Hence, Blockchain and Machine Learning for IoT Security discusses various recent techniques and solutions related to IoT deployment, especially security and privacy. This book addresses a variety of subjects, including a comprehensive overview of the IoT, and covers in detail the security challenges at each layer by considering how both the architecture and underlying technologies are employed. As acknowledged experts in the field, the authors provide remediation solutions for impaired security, as well as mitigation methods, and offer both prevention and improvement suggestions.

Key Features:

• Offers a unique perspective on IoT security by introducing Machine Learning and Blockchain solutions
• Presents a well-rounded overview of the most recent advances in IoT security and privacy
• Discusses practical solutions and real-world cases for IoT solutions in various areas
• Provides solutions for securing IoT against various threats
• Discusses Blockchain technology as a solution for IoT

This book is designed to provide all the necessary knowledge for young researchers, academics, and industry professionals who want to understand the advantages of artificial intelligence technology, machine learning, data analysis methodology, and Blockchain for securing IoT technologies.
