The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the important technologies that has taken the attention of researchers. It is the interconnection of things connected with each other and to also with humans, to achieve some goals. In future IoT is expected to be effortlessly integrated into our environment and human will be solely dependent on this technology for comfort and easy life style. Any security concern of the system will directly affect human life. So security and privacy of this technology is primarily important issue to resolve. In this paper, we discuss the threats and vulnerabilities to the security of IoT devices in different domains, different layers, its deployment architecture and provides possible Block chain solution to overcome these issues. The paper also analyzes how the Block chain technology can be used to provide security and privacy in IoT. : The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the important technologies that has taken the attention of researchers.
