Abstract
Due to improvements in information & communication technology & growth of sensor technologies, Internet of Things is now widely used in smart homes for optimal resource management&ubiquitous sensing. In smart homes, many IoT devices are linked together via gateways.Importance of gateways in smart homes cannot be overstated, but their centralised nature exposes them tovariety of security threats, including integrity, certification, & availability. In this paper, we propose blockchain-based smart home gateway network to address these security vulnerabilities. This network guards against likely smart home gateway attacks. In smart home setting with limited resources, devices such as sensors & actuators are connected& communicated indispersed manner. One ofproblems in this sector is data storage& safe transmission sinceinformation is sensitive& contains lot of personal information fromhome network. Authors of this study have created3-tier architecture IoT-Fog-Cloud for safe & efficient data processing. Data may be analysed & monitored in real time with fog computing. Identity is one of thread models for IoT-based smart homes. Finally, this article focuses on Blockchain Technology, which has potential to overcome IoT application security problems. We built suggested network using Ethereum blockchain technology & tested it against industry standards for security, such as security response time& accuracy. We also propose some possible solutions to these security & privacy problems in IoT based on blockchain to illustrate how blockchain helps to IoT.
