"SocialBlock: Technology That Could Improve Data Security in Smart Cities"

Smart cities refer to urban areas that employ different types of technologies to improve upon the quality of life for those residing in these areas. As these technologies are expected to serve whole urban regions in the future, it is essential to develop more solutions to secure the data managed and accessed by such cities. Víctor García Font, a researcher at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya's (UOC) Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) presented a model called SocialBlock that applies blockchain technology to manage data security and control in smart cities. This article continues to discuss how the proposed SocialBlock architecture could strengthen data security in smart cities.
