Factom Can Solve IoT Security Problems
For issues related to the Internet of Things (IoT) such as raw data, undisclosed surveillance, and attempts of hacking, there is a major need to cope with these issues as of now.
By constructing identity management capabilities into the core blockchain protocol, Factom aims to solve common IoT security problems. Factom creates an identity chain for users or groups of users or any devices or system resources. The process works in a manner where one identity chain can have attributes that are assigned to them and further can assign an attribute to another and so on. Each identity can be accessed through a set of keys that is exclusively given to the user which can further limit access to specific devices or entities.
