Abstract
The increasing deployment of real-time applications in numerous domains like finance, healthcare and IoT sector, has exposed serious security challenges that traditional solutions struggle to address. Blockchain is a highly viable alternative for securing real-time IoT applications as it is both distributed and immutable in nature. This literature review identifies contributions from the existing literature, examines the trends in applying blockchain for real-time security, and provides proposed areas of research. In this paper, we present the innovative solutions to solve significant security-related concerns by integrating blockchain with modern technologies such as AI and IoT. A system that cannot delay data security in real-time applications is needed to be implemented for data integrity, confidentiality and availability. Now blockchain, with its decentralized and immutable security architecture, is being recognized as the potential solution for the security of real-time systems. A comprehensive review of blockchain applications in real-time scenarios such as energy management, healthcare system, and Internet of Things (IoT) have been presented in this paper. The paper then covers future strategies for real-time security applications, potential enhancements, and limitations of blockchain.
