New Study Reveals How IOTA Technology Can Boost Security
The post New Study Reveals How IOTA Technology Can Boost Security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
A new study by the University of Mosul details how IOTA improves security for smart homes to protect Internet of Things (IoT) devices from cyberattacks. The study proposes a new lightweight authentication model based on IOTA’s Tangle for an IoT-based smart house monitoring system. We’re living in the era of the Internet of Things, with over 17 billion IoT devices today, a number that’s expected to double by the end of the decade. As the devices surge, so does the danger lurking from cyber criminals, and according to a new study, IOTA offers the best security for this sector. Today, IOTA caters to several industries, from supply chain management to tokenization, as founder Dominik Scheiner told CNF in an interview earlier this year. However, at its founding, the network mainly targeted the machine-to-machine economy enabled by the Internet of Things. And despite diversifying, it remains the best network for IoT. IOTA’s superiority was backed by a recent report by two researchers from the computer science department at the University of Mosul in Iraq. The two, Sameera Abbas Fadhel and Dr. Ahmed S. Nori, acknowledged that while blockchain offers superb data integrity and security, its “limitations in terms of scalability, throughput, and storage capacity” make blockchain “an unsuitable option for devices with limited resources in the IoT environment.” The two proposed a new lightweight authentication model for an IoT-based smart house monitoring system that’s based on the IOTA Tangle and utilizes other technologies, such as decentralized identifiers and stronghold vault technologies. 1/7.
