Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising, relatively new technology that develops “smart” networks with a variety of uses and applications (e.g., smart cities, smart home and autonomous cars). The diversity of protocols, technologies and devices that IoT consists of, even though they add in value and utility, they create major privacy issues that can be exploited by malicious entities to benefit from or even violate privacy of IoT users. The special features of blockchain technology, such as immutability, transparency, accessibility, autonomy and decentralisation, has led the academics and the industry to search for further uses of it, besides financial applications (e.g., Bitcoin) that was initially applied. This paper is a survey on the existing literature regarding blockchain-based privacy-preserving solutions that have been proposed specifically for the IoT to address personal data protection and preserve user privacy.
