Design of IoT Blockchain Based Smart Agriculture for Enlightening Safety and Security

The Internet of Things is evolving as a complete matured technology to be used in all the Smart applications and it establishes itself in the future generations of internet. As like Internet of Things, Blockchain is the blooming technology in which each node involved in the blockchain contains the distributed ledger which enhances the security and data transparency. Illegal users are not able to perform any fault transaction in the blockchain network due to its ability of performing smart contract and consensus. The Internet of Things can be merged with the blockchain to improve the performance of the application in real time. However, managing the devices connected to the sensors in IoT environment and mining the block chain remains the technical challenge forever. With this background, we make an attempt to survey the core details of blockchain technology and its features. In this paper, we have proposed design architecture by merging IoT and BlockChain for Smart Agriculture and ended up with some new architectural framework.
