Blockchain as a solution for security attacks in named data networking of things

In the world of technology, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a network to link entire things, that is, people, devices, and systems, with each other through an approach of common networking. This technology constructed a way, where many of the routine devices or things are interrelated and easily communicated with, their surroundings to gather or transfer the information over the network without the need of any human-to-system communication or human-to-human communication. It is born with features such as dynamics, scalability, and heterogeneity, and only that network solution can adapt to it which has strategy to incorporate its features. And here comes data centric interaction paradigm, it applies an approach of data naming to comprise the dynamics, scalability, and heterogeneity features to adapt to IoT and composes NDN of things, that is, Named Data Networking of Things (NDNoT). This paradigm also familiarizes the readers with the various kinds of security irruptions that occur in the network, and blockchain acts as a solution for those security attacks in NDNoT. The technology of blockchain is born with a cryptocurrency known as Bitcoin. It is an undoubtedly amazing and innovative invention in the world of technology. The cryptographic algorithms used by blockchains would make consumer data more private. So the technology of blockchain could perhaps be the silver bullet required by the industry of Internet of Things.
