Abstract
One of the key challenges of IOT world is security. In this article, my attempt is to critically
view the use of blockchain technology to secure IOT. Blockchain is used for smart home so that
the security can be enhanced. Blockchain enriches the security level.In this technology,the
existing database can only be expanded and the previous record can not be changed.Local
blockchain is a secure and private blockchain that is mined and stored by one device which is
always in online. The local blockchain is only maintained by it’s owner.To increase the security
level and to secure the data from sharing external environment, the blockchain technology is
used.
