IoT and Blockchain

Blockchain of Things — cool things happen when IoT & Distributed Ledger Tech collide

Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) are both poised to be worldchanging technologies, just at the beginning of their adoption curve.

IoT — the interconnection via the Internet of computing devices embedded in everyday objects, enabling them to send and receive data.

Blockchain — an encrypted, distributed computer filing system designed to allow the creation of tamper-proof, real-time records.

Merge them together and in theory, you create a verifiable, secure and permanent method of recording data processed by “smart” machines. This network of interconnected devices will be able to interact with their environment and make decisions without any human intervention.

In this one day Internet of Things (IoT) and Blockchain training you will learn more about two of the most exciting paradigms in emerging technology. This one day training will cover not only an overveiw of IoT and Blockchain, but how Blockchain holds the potential to securely unlock business and operational value of IoT to support common tasks, such as sensing, processing, storing information, and communicating.
