Integration of IoT and Blockchain to in the Processes of a University Campus

Abstract

Currently, universities, as centers of research and innovation, integrate in their processes various technologies that allow improving services and processes for their members. Among the innovative technologies are the Internet of Things that, through a variety of devices, allows obtaining data from the environment and people. This information is processed in cloud computing models and Big Data architectures that obtain knowledge through data analysis. These results lead to improving processes and making better decisions that improve the services available at the university. The integration of technologies allows for the generation of a sustainable environment that seeks the cohesion of the population with the environment, in such a way that economic growth is guaranteed in balance with the environment. However, all technology needs to guarantee the security of processes and data, and for this purpose, a new technology such as blockchain is integrated, which seeks to respond to two needs, the security and agility of processes. Integrating this technology in a university requires the analysis of the blockchain components to generate a new layer that adapts to the architecture of a university campus. This ensures that the data are kept cryptographically private to avoid exposure and that the entire process is verified by multiple blocks.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Study of integration of block chain and Internet of Things (IoT): an opportunity, challenges, and applications as medical sector and healthcare

“…As it is an infectious disease, almost all the countries throughout the world have quarantine citizens for a long time. For continuous tracking of movements of peoples, state governments adopt different novel technologies, like the connection of billions of devices along with sensors over the internet are used to control (Villegas-Ch et al 2020;Zhang and Wu 2020). Since there is handling of huge data, problem such as privacy and security may arise.…”

Demystifying Blockchain Technology for Resource-Constrained IoT Devices: Parameters, Challenges and Future Perspective

“…The first level is usually either the level of perception or the physical level. The same physical layer of the IoT includes the IoT devices associated with the blockchain application [1], [18], [64], [69]. The baseline goal in both cases is to accurately perceive the environment and collect relevant data through various IoT objects.…”

Using Blockchain in the Internet of Things Coordination

“…The paper [9] presents the importance of integrating IoT and Blockchain into the processes of a university campus. They started by introducing the three general architectural models of the three concepts: the university's network architecture, IoT, and distributed blockchain.…”
