• Abstract: The growth in IoT devices means an ongoing risk of data vulnerability. The transition from centralized ecosystems to decentralized ecosystems is of paramount importance due to security, privacy, and data use concerns. Since the majority of IoT devices will be used by consumers in peer-to-peer applications, a centralized approach raises many issues of trust related to privacy, control, and censorship. Identity and access management lies at the heart of any user-facing system. Blockchain technologies can be leveraged to augment user authority, transparency, and decentralization. This study proposes a decentralized identity management framework for IoT environments using Hyperledger Fabric and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). The system was simulated using Node-RED to model IoT data streams, and key functionalities including device onboarding, authentication, and secure asset querying were successfully implemented. Results demonstrated improved data integrity, transparency, and user control, with reduced reliance on centralized authorities. These findings validate the practicality of blockchain-based identity management in enhancing the security and trustworthiness of IoT infrastructures.

  The growing use of IoT devices in organizations has increased the number of attack vectors available to attackers. The widely adopted bring your own device (BYOD) policy which allows an employee to bring any IoT device into the workplace and attach it to an organization's network also increases the risk of attacks. In this study, we applied deep learning on network traffic to automatically identify IoT devices connected to the network.
