Blockchain use cases continue to proliferate in the world of IoT. This adoption is providing a type of security standard that companies have been looking for quite some time now. This new partnership between IIC and TIoTA will provide enterprises with a framework for all sources of trusted IoT. The overarching objective of the collaboration will be to establish principles primarily for security and privacy, with IoT portability a secondary goal.
