Abstract

Internet of Things would soon become pervasive and ubiquitous due to its uses and easy to manage across various applications. Moreover, IoT has reached the extent of communicating the data from very close proximity to a distant place more than 10Kilometers. The extensive usage of the IoT devices makes the service provider overwhelming in terms of the revenue. It poses challenges to scale the technology to respond to the requests from numerous devices and instances for the actions and decisions to be taken. In addition to the IoT communication, security is a vital activity for every communication across IoT devices. In this paper, an exhaustive study has been conducted on the significance of IoT communication and the challenges involved and the span of security across various layers of the IoT. Furthermore, the survey on Blockchain and the possible integration for IoT communication has been discussed. Finally, the study expresses different integration challenges existing in the present times, which further helps to explore the blockchain adaptability for IoT security
