Abstract
The growing demand for human-independent comfortable lifestyle has emboldened the development of smart home. A typical keenly intellective home includes many Internet of things contrivances that engender processes and immensely colossal data to efficiently handle its users’ demands. This incrementing demand raises a plethora of concern cognate to a smart home system in terms of scalability, efficiency, and security. All these issues are tedious to manage, and the existing studies lack the granularity for surmounting them. Considering such a requisite of security and efficiency as a quandary at hand, this article presents a secure and efficient smart home architecture, which incorporates the blockchain and the cloud computing technologies for a cumulated solution. Because of the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, it can serve the processing services and make the transaction copy of the collected sensible user data from smart home. To ensure the security of smart home network, our proposed model utilizes the multivariate correlation analysis technique to analyze the network traffic and identify the correlation between traffic features. We have evaluated the performance of our proposed architecture using different parameters like throughput and discovered that blockchain is an efficient security solution for the future Internet of things network.

Summary
The amelioration of the Internet of things (IoT) in the day-to-day life is able to connect an immensely colossal number of smart devices such as sensors, cameras, phones, and many smart home appliances. As the security is on top of the list of consumer demands, the approaches must consider scalability and availability for efficiently monitoring and managing the network which needs dynamic adoption capabilities for IoT environment.[9] To inhibit these issues and to achieve the trust and integrity, an innovative exploration of blockchain technology and cloud computing for the distributed IoT predicated smart home environment is presented in this article. The article explains the blockchain technology applied in a smart home network for handling the device transactions and uses green cloud computing, which provides green service using a green broker to reduce the environmental effects of the proposed model.
