Securing Smart Homes with Blockchain-Enabled Systems

Abstract

Growing Internet Of Things (IoT) boosts rapid development Of smart home technologies.. Yet it brings new security challenges.. Centralized architectures frequently used in smart home networks are particularly at risk through gateways. .Such networks are exposed to numerous security threats. These include unauthorized access, data tampering And single points of failure. In this study we suggest decentralized blockchain-based system to reinforce security in smart home environments .Through integration of blockchain technology we seek to handle problems like data integrity. Also authentication and availability. Adopting Our proposed architecture plays upon use Of Ethereum blockchain.. It utilizes smart contracts to manage and secure interactions Between devices in the household.. Furthermore employing SHA-256 hashing guarantees privacy to sensitive data exchanged between devices. .It also makes the transmitted data tamper-proof. We perform real-time validation of data over distributed ledgers. This considerably diminishes chance of cyber-attacks .Our strategy is Scalable and Safe for management of Smart homes.
