ABSTRACT
This Chapter covers three interdisciplinary, observable, and rapidly developing areas of research, namely the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the blockchain (BC) technologies (BCT), and cybersecurity management for the IoT. The chapter is organized as follows: after a short introduction, the IoT technologies are discussed, including the IoT concept and definitions, generalized IoT architecture and reference model proposed, and the IoT standardization issues. The second part of the Chapter is devoted to the BCT and their application areas, as well as to a BC glossary worked by the authors and the list of standards for the BCT. On this basis, two main directions of applying the BCT to the IoT are represented, namely for designing BC-based secure IoT infrastructure and BC-based system for managing cybersecurity in the IoT. Final discussion and future research areas conclude the Chapter.
