Abstract

The rapidly expanding Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, characterised by interconnected devices and continuous data exchange, faces significant security challenges. Traditional security measures often fall short in mitigating the intricate risks associated with these extensive networks. This article investigates the potential of blockchain technology, renowned for its security and transparency, to fortify the IoT landscape. Through a comprehensive analysis of blockchain’s core benefits, we demonstrate its capacity to enhance data security, ensure robust authentication and authorisation, deliver unparalleled transparency, and foster distributed trust. These features not only contribute to a more secure and resilient IoT environment but also embody hikmah (wisdom) by offering substantial benefits to the ummah. The decentralised nature of blockchain resonates with the principles of equity and justice, providing a secure and reliable technological framework that supports communal welfare and safeguards data integrity.
