Abstract: The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) in industry, as well as the massive and continuous flow of data that IoT devices produce, necessitates the use of security mechanisms to help mitigate and prevent security issues that IoT devices encounter. Another significant challenge for IoT is the very distributed architecture of IoT networks. In any IoT network, any IoT device is a vulnerability that can be used for cyberattacks such as DDoS attacks in order to block network resources. A major concern when designing IoT systems is the cloud services they use to run IoT applications. The client-server setting for cloud computing is susceptible to a single point of failure. This article examines the problems associated with cybersecurity in the field of smart connected devices and the possibilities of using a blockchain to improve security mechanisms.
