Introduction to machine learning, blockchain technologies, and Big Data analytics for IoTs: concepts, open issues, and critical challenges

Abstract

Today a plethora of applications are trying to shift toward using the Internet of Things (IoT) or Internet Connected Things. IoTs can be used in many applications such as Healthcare, Agriculture, Transportation, and Logistics. These devices can help healthcare professionals take care of patients in real time. However, there are several issues around smart devices such as security, privacy, and trust. Blockchain is the most secured technology today. It is a novel concept to provide a decentralized and distributed structure and is based on a distributed ledger concept. This chapter discusses IoT and its uses in smart AI-based applications with the integration of blockchain.
