What was the paper about?
The authors have attempted to explore the scope of the Blockchain technologies with the Internet of Things (IoT). In this paper, there are three major sections of the association of the two technologies that are covered. The first is the benefits that the Blockchain technology can offer to the IoT systems and applications. The next is the drawbacks and challenges that may come up with the integration of the two so that considerations may be taken by the implementation team and the technology experts. The last is the future directions that can emerge as the trends in the days to come. The authors have described IoT as the emerging technology that has begun to capture the markets and offers smart and connected applications to the users. The Blockchain technology is defined as the distributed public ledger that comprises of the linked chain of records which are secured with the medium of encryption and cryptography. The authors have given good background to both these technologies so that the understanding is obtained and the inter-relation can be understood in a better way. The IoT technology is slowly expanding and is being widely recognized. There are some of the security concerns and integration issues associated with IoT. The resolution of the same can be done by the Blockchain applications as described in the research work. The authors have used qualitative exploration of the two technologies to describe the intended benefits and challenges.
Is this paper similar or different to other papers you have read for this assignment? If so, which papers and why? What do these similarities or differences suggest? What are your observations?
There is research work done on the scope of the Blockchain technology with the IoT applications by other research scholars. However, the paper is different from the ones published in the past as it covers the wholesome picture and also includes the future directions for the purpose of research.
How do you envisage this reading contributing to your group’s research paper?
The reading made sure that the group research paper could be prepared accurately as the background as well as detailed information of the two technologies could be obtained.

What was the paper about?
The research paper is about the privacy aspect of the Blockchain technology for the IoT applications and the paper is domain specific. The authors have used healthcare as the domain to understand the principles and mechanisms which can be taken. The application of IoT in the healthcare field is gradually increased. The patients as well as the medical professionals can witness the IoT applications, such as tele-health applications or smart healthcare apps. The authors have covered the brief information of such usable healthcare apps developed using the IoT technology and have linked them with innumerable advantages that come along. They have also brought up the privacy challenges that are seen with the IoT apps. The risks of privacy attacks with the healthcare applications can have devastating impacts on the associated entities. The authors have then linked the Blockchain networks, especially the private Blockchain mechanisms to promote the privacy of the IoT apps in healthcare. The presentation of the information is complemented with figures and diagrams.
