Abstract
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) and blockchain technologies offers promising solutions for ensuring robust data security and efficient traffic management in contemporary urban environments. This book chapter explores the synergy between IoT and blockchain applications, presenting novel approaches to address the evolving challenges of data integrity, privacy, and traffic congestion. Through the convergence of these technologies, innovative mechanisms for securely collecting, transmitting, and storing data from IoT devices are introduced, fostering trust and transparency in data transactions. Additionally, leveraging blockchain's decentralized ledger, smart contracts, and cryptographic principles, the chapter elaborates on how immutable records can streamline traffic management systems, enabling real-time monitoring, optimization, and enforcement of traffic regulations. This chapter elucidates the potential of IoT and blockchain integration to revolutionize data security and traffic management paradigms, paving the way for smarter, safer, and more sustainable urban ecosystems.
Keywords: Blockchain, Data security, IoT, Traffic management.
