A Survey of Blockchain for the Mitigation of DDoS Attacks in IoT Networks

Abstract

With the rise of social media and high technology utilisation by different age groups, the digital structure arrangement has also changed from being simple node links to the interconnected complex networks. A digital mesh has been introduced with multiple consumers, interconnected webs, cloud storage, ubiquitous applications, and large data sets. These vast sets of networks can be connected to billions of things from devices to sensors and people to autonomous agents as per the requirements providing various services and information. Blockchain technology has automated payments by encouraging cryptocurrencies and introducing a shared and distributed ledger where data, logs, and transactions can be held in a decentralised manner with a more trusted and secure platform. This paper briefs the basic idea that digital mesh is leading the technology rise and how various applications, devices, services, and objects integrate artificial intelligence in them to automate and process the traditional human activities. Further, an overview of some basic features of blockchain is presented along with benefits of its integration with artificial intelligence.
