Abstract

This chapter discusses how blockchain can be combined with Internet of Things (IoT); unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/drones to form a safe, autonomous, and smart system of surveillance. Given that traditional surveillance systems are exposed to centralization, risk of data manipulation and limitations on scalability, blockchain embedded into the use of the IoT-powered drones provides a solution that is decentralized and tamper-free. The most important applications used throughout border security, disaster rescue, and urban security are discussed, and the technological, operational, and regulatory issues of these applications are also examined critically. Future research directions are also given, such as the integration of AI, as well as lightweight blockchain protocols suitable to drones. The chapter can be of perspective help in providing the overview to the extent in which the blockchain-IoT drones can change the future of surveillance systems.
