Abstract: The technology behind the Bitcoin crypto-currency system is Blockchain (BC), is

considered to be both powerful, attractive and critical for ensuring enhanced security and privacy

for applications in many other domains - including in the Internet of Things (IoT) eco- system.But in some implementations, it is not traceable. It is currently being conducted in both

academics and industry applying the Blockchain technology in applications. We can give

Ensuring for BC security by maintaining a digital ledger of transactions in Proof-of-Work

(PoW), a cryptographic puzzle plays a vital rôle.so that it is to be incorruptible. Furthermore, BC

uses a changeable Public Key (PK) to record the users’ identity, which provides an extra layer of

privacy, so that BC provides more security. BC has been implemented Not only in

cryptocurrency but also used in systems such as in: distributed storage systems, proof-of- location, healthcare, decentralized, voting, banking, business etc. Recent research articles and

applications were surveyed to assess the implementation of BC for enhanced security, to identify

associated challenges and to propose solutions for BC enabled enhanced security systems.

Key Words: BC-BlockChain, IOT-Internet of Things, PoW-Proof of Work

I. I. Introduction:

BlockChain:

BlockChain is originally block chain, i.e

growing list of records called blocks. All

these are linked using cryptography and

each block maintains previous block as a

timestamp and a transaction data. Fig 1: BlockChain Application

History of Blockchain:

Before 1979, it was never used in

cryptocurrency. But now it is beginning as a

concept in computer science particularly

cryptography and data structures.

Initially the blockchain was the hash tree,

also known as a Merkle tree. It was patented

by Ralph Merkle in 1979, and functioned by

verifying, securing and handling data

between computer systems. In peer-to-peer

network systems, validation of data

was important to make sure nothing was

altered or changed during transfer. Here we

can ensure that false data was not sent. And

it is also used to maintain and prove the

integrity of data being shared in between

computers.

II. Blockchain Working:

Blockchain works based on following

features

1. It maintains all data in the form of

Record used for exchanging— this record

is called as a “ledger” in the cryptocurrency

world and each data exchange is a

“transaction“. In ledger, “Block” is used for

storing all verified transactions.

2. BlockChain uses a distributed system

to verify each transaction —in a peer-to- peer network of nodes

, once signed and verified, the new

transactions are added to the blockchain

and it can’t be changed.

Here we are using 2 cryptographic keys,

we get a unique identity. Those keys are

the Private Key and Public Key, and

together they are combined to give us a

digital signature. Public key is used how

others are able to identify us. Private key

used for digitally sign and authorize

different actions on behalf of this digital

identity when used with our public key.

Now a day’s Blockchain technology is used

in multiple areas. The primary use of

blockchains today is distributed

ledger for cryptocurrencies, most

notably bitcoin. Without blockchain digital

currencies can’t be exist.

Blockchain technology is also used

for –

● Reduce the cost

● Trusted transaction

● No third party involvement

● Real time tracking, security

● No single point of failure

● Accuracy

● Decentralization

● Efficiency

● Privacy

● Security

● Transparency

● File Storage

● Registering Information

● Personal Identity

● Governance

● Tracking Distribution

● Stock Trading

● Blockchain Sharing

● Ethical Consumerism

● Basic Transactions

● Banking etc.

The Pillars of Blockchain Technology

There are 3 main pillars of BlockChain

technology, those are:

1. Decentralization

2. Transparency

3. Immutability

1: Decentralization

Mostly we are using centralized services. So

that can interact with any other entity to get

the information.

Mostly we are using centralized system in

banks. They store all your money, and can

pay someone is by going through the bank.

The traditional client-server model is a

perfect example of this centralized service:
