Blockchain for IoT security: Japanese researchers speed up connected devices without compromising safety

Researchers in Japan say they have found a way to unlock the potential of using blockchain security in IoT devices, enabling faster, more reliable communication across connected machines. The team at Chiba University developed a lightweight peer-selection algorithm, Dual Perigee, that reduces delays in blockchain networks, allowing devices to exchange information in real time without adding extra computational strain. Blockchain has long been co…
