  Blockchain, as well as Internet of Things (IoT), is considered as two major
disruptive emerging technologies. However, both of them suffer from innate
technological limitations to some extent. IoT requires strengthening its
security features while Blockchain inherently possesses them due to its
extensive use of cryptographic mechanisms and Blockchain, in an inverted
manner, needs contributions from the distributed nodes for its P2P
(Peer-to-Peer) consensus model while IoT rudimentarily embodies them within its
architecture. This chapter, therefore, acutely dissects the viability, along
with prospective challenges, of incorporating Blockchain with IoT
technologies,inducing the notion of Blockchain of Things (BCoT), as well as the
benefits such consolidation can offer.
