Abstract
This paper presents an IoT-Blockchain platform to ensure reliable sensor data management in IoT systems. By integrating blockchain technology, the solution enhances data security, transparency, and decentralization, addressing vulnerabilities inherent in centralized architectures. Blockchain’s immutability and decentralized nature enable secure data sharing, foster stakeholder trust, and automate processes via smart contracts. The study evaluates key performance metrics, such as device registration time, sensing data storage efficiency, and query execution speed, demonstrating the platform’s superiority over existing blockchain systems. Results highlight its robustness in real-time data handling, scalability, and auditability. The proposed framework showcases the transformative potential of combining IoT and blockchain, offering a trustworthy infrastructure for applications like smart cities, supply chains, and industrial automation. Ultimately, this work underscores how decentralized architectures can revolutionize IoT data management, ensuring integrity while optimizing operational efficiency. The research underscores blockchain’s role in overcoming IoT security challenges while enabling next-generation decentralized and auditable data ecosystems.
