Secure Libri GmbH Secure IoT Data Management and Blockchain-Based Smart Home Automation

The rapid growth of connected devices has transformed residential environments into increasingly interconnected digital systems. Secure IoT Data Management and Blockchain-Based Smart Home Automation provides a focused technical examination of Internet of Things (IoT) data management, blockchain technology, smart home automation, device communication, cybersecurity, and distributed systems. The book brings together concepts from computer science, networking, information security, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and automation to examine security-conscious approaches to connected residential environments.The book introduces the architecture and fundamental principles of IoT-enabled smart homes, where sensors, controllers, appliances, and other connected devices communicate to exchange information and support automated functions. Such environments can generate continuous streams of data concerning device status, environmental conditions, user interactions, and system activity. Managing this information efficiently while maintaining appropriate security and integrity is an important consideration in smart home system design.A central focus is placed on IoT data management. Connected devices may operate with limited processing capacity, memory, energy, and communication resources, creating specific requirements for data collection, storage, transmission, access, and processing. The book examines general approaches to organizing IoT-generated information and considers the importance of data integrity, authentication, confidentiality, authorization, and secure communication.
