Crypto Academy / Season 4 / Week 1 - Homework Post for [@yohan2on] Blockchain Technology and the Internet of Things (IoT)

Today I will post the homework of Professor @yohan2on through this post. This week the professor discusses with us a very important topic, which is Blockchain Technology and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Explain why the future Internet of Things depends on Blockchain.

Internet of Things (IOT):

IOT was introduced in 1999 by Kevin Ashton. Nowadays our life has become such that we can't think of anything without internet. This internet is connected with our daily work or routine. When many devices are connected to each other via the Internet and data is exchanged between these devices, this system is called IoT. These devices can be items inside our home such as: fan, washing machine, bathroom faucet, door lock, lights, etc. In a word, it is possible to cover all devices.

The difference with the mainstream Internet is that in the absence of humans, devices through this system automatically transfer and process data through the absence of humans. The role of IoT in making people's lives easier and more comfortable is incomparable.

Some electronic devices, sensors and software combine to create a networking system, and this technology works primarily through these networking systems. They basically receive information from people or any object and based on this information it processes the information from one device to another and this is how the IoT system works.

For example, I think I went to the market to buy fish, but when I went to the market, I forgot what fish I had in my fridge. In that case this IoT system can help me. The fridge through this IoT system will tell me which fish are in my fridge at the moment and if I forget that I have not locked the door of my house, then I can use this IoT system. I can lock the door.

Future of Internet of Things (IOT)

The quality of our lives is increasing very fast with the help of many intelligent devices. The amazing thing is that all our activities are going to be automated day by day just to get the result of our desire much faster.

John Chambers, CEO of Cisco, said "everything is the Internet" and many laughed at his words. But now everything is seen on the internet. This has created a strong market. The Internet of Things or IoT is based on this idea. The Internet of Things will make people's lives much easier.

For example, if I want to wake up at five in the morning, my alarm will go off at five in the morning. If I wake up at five in the morning, I have to get up and take a bath and if I want to take a bath I must keep the water hot but it takes about 30 minutes for the water to get hot. In that case but after waking up I have to wait about 30 minutes. But I don't have to wait 30 minutes through this Internet of Things. Because since I will wake up at five o'clock, the water will be automatically heated 30 minutes ago through this Internet of Things.

In this way, the Internet of Things will make the lives of ordinary people very easy, so if we have to think about life in a simple and automatic way, then we have to think about the Internet of Things, i.e. IoT, and in the future we will be more interested in IoT.

Why the future Internet of Things depends on Blockchain:

---

Scalability
All the data of IoT is stored in a central server, the number of its devices is increasing due to the popularity of IoT and its data is increasing due to the growth of this device. IoT has a centralized network, which collects data from many devices in this centralized network and works on the basis of that information and also has to do all their operations through this centralized network.

We have already seen that the scalability of blockchain has improved a lot. In that case if we can use this IoT system in blockchain technology then by using this blockchain technology we can make the IoT system more scalable and we can reduce the server load by dividing its data processing work into different nodes And through this it will increase the decentralization system. In this way, the scalability problem of Internet of Things or IoT will be solved through blockchain.

---

---

Security
The Internet of Things or IOT is of a centralized nature. This centralized network contains information on all devices and is at risk of being attacked by a hacker. It can be hacked by hackers to hack a user, which can put a user to extreme suffering.

We know that blockchain technology primarily protects data through encryption and decryption. It can provide a lot more protection to a user because any data is encrypted by the sender and decrypted by the receiver. In that case, if we use this IoT in blockchain, it will protect these things and the security problems of this IoT can be solved by using this blockchain technology.

Research and create content on the following IoT Blockchain use case.

Filament:

Filament is a Private limited Company in Nevada. It was founded on 14 December 2012 by Allison and Jeremie. It provides software and hardware protocols that connect devices to IoT and enables them to share data through blockchain networks. One of the goals of this company is to work on the Internet of Things. It focuses on making a link of the blockchain with IoT.

IoT helps solve problems with the help of filament company blockchain networking. The company uses blockchain-based hardware and software to solve problems related to IoT products, and integrates them with IoT products to find solutions to these problems.

Use case of IoT Blockchain by Filament:

---

Blocklet USB Enclave:
Filament's blockchain USB is compatible, it can be used on any USB port system. It is designed to interact locally with multiple blockchains. It provides businesses with a way to connect secure hardware to their IoT devices so that they can securely transact directly with each other. When using the Filament Block USB Device Blockchain, companies can easily keep this record to determine their industrial IoT devices, their data, their supply chain, the life cycle history of the companies.

Autonomous vehicles:
Filament Company has entered into a partnership agreement with the University of Nevada on the subject of autonomous vehicles using blockchain IoT. The Smart City project is being run primarily through the University of Nevada, with the goal of improving the safety and practical development of autonomous vehicles. Filament's use of this blockchain technology allows IoT devices to use blockchain technology to manage and connect data.

---

Scalability and Security:
The scalability and security of IoT devices is a big problem. If a user loses the ability to manage this device while using a device, but he will have a much bigger problem. In this case, the filament company works on the scalability and security of a device. It basically increases the speed of transactions and communication of IoT devices, distributed ledger technology is able to communicate faster.

Conclusion

Finally I can say that the Internet of Things or IoT is the necessary companion for our future life. With this we can easily increase our standard of living. Since we humans can forget a lot of things, with the help of this IoT we will be able to do our work very nicely and on time. Because even if I forget something, this IoT will remind me of my work, my medication, going to my office, waking me up.

Many thanks and gratitude to the dear Professor @yohan2on who has given us the gift of a Well Explained Lecture on such an important subject. I have learned a little about IoT before but today I have learned a lot about the Internet of Things from this lecture.
