| Sumario: | Since its inception in 2008, blockchain technology has attracted great interest in various fields in recent years. The initial application was in the field of cryptocurrencies, supporting Bitcoin. This fact in itself was a revolution in economics since technology made it possible to dispense with intermediaries (that is, banks and financial entities) in economic transactions, saving costs and avoiding a centralized control of the information registered in the blockchain. Later, the technology has evolved to include the possibility of registering business logic (that is, computer code) in the blockchain through smart contracts. This, together with the development of platforms that allow the implementation of blockchains with controlled access, has opened the door to a myriad of applications beyond cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT), where everyday objects are connected to the Internet, generating huge amounts of data to process (usually in what is known as computing in the fog), is a field of research and innovation that has also generated great interest from industry and academia in recent years. IoT technologies are a perfect complement to connect the real world to the information stored on the blockchain. This work will briefly introduce blockchain and the Internet of Things and review some applications that combine both themes. We will end with a short introduction to the line of research on blockchain in IoT environments that we carry out at the Albacete Computer Research Institute (I3A) of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. |
