Exploring the Joint Potential of Blockchain and AI for Securing Internet of Things

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we interact with the physical world. The rapid growth of IoT devices has led to a pressing need for robust security measures. Two promising approaches that can enhance IoT security are blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). Blockchain can offer a decentralized and tamper-proof framework, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of IoT data. AI can analyze large volumes of real-time data and detect anomalies in response to security threats in the IoT ecosystem. This paper explores the potential of these technologies and how they complement each other to provide a secured IoT system. Our main argument is that combining blockchain with AI can provide a robust solution for securing IoT networks and safeguarding the privacy of IoT users. This survey paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential of these technologies for securing IoT networks and discuss the challenges and opportunities associated with their integration. It also provides a discussion on the current state of research on this topic and presents future research directions in this area.
