Security and Privacy Enhancing in Blockchain-based IoT Environments via Anonym Auditing

The integration of blockchain technology in Internet of Things (IoT) environments is a revolutionary step towards ensuring robust security and enhanced privacy. This paper explore the unique challenges and solutions associated with securing blockchain-based IoT systems, with a specific focus on anonymous auditing to reinforce privacy and security. We propose a novel framework that combines the decentralized nature of blockchain with advanced security protocols tailored for IoT contexts. Central to our approach is the implementation of anonymization techniques in auditing processes, ensuring user privacy while maintaining the integrity and transparency of blockchain transactions. We outline the architecture of blockchain in IoT environments, emphasizing the workflow and specific security mechanisms employed. Additionally, we introduce a security protocol that integrates privacy-enhancing tools and anonymous auditing methods, including the use of advanced cryptographic techniques for anonymity. This study also includes a comparative analysis of our proposed framework against existing models in the domain. Our work aims to provide a comprehensive blueprint for enhancing security and privacy in blockchain-based IoT environments, paving the way for more secure and private digital ecosystems.
