About this event
Recent developments in IoT are able to achieve real-time tracking of commodities, providing comprehensive views with unprecedented details. Blockchain, a distributed immutable ledger, may hold the key to resolve security and trust issues in IoT applications.
In this talk, Ren will discuss a wide range of IoT technologies and their implications in security and trust. The high-level overview will highlight:
- What is Blockchain?
- Why IoT and Blockchain can make your systems secure, trusted, and efficient?
- How they can be used in the real-world (not just for virtual currencies)?
Ren will discuss how he and the team at UTS are working with industry partners to develop next-generation IoT and Blockchain technologies to achieve real-time tracking of supply chains with distributed trust. He will present some of their latest results in IoT and Blockchain applications, including their award-winning project BeFAQT.
