What is the primary advantage of using blockchain for IoT data integrity?
Answer: Tamper-evident, decentralized record of device transactions
Blockchain creates an immutable, distributed ledger of IoT transactions, making it extremely difficult to alter historical sensor records without detection.
Which machine learning deployment technique runs AI models directly on IoT devices?
Answer: TinyML / on-device inference
TinyML optimizes machine learning models to run on microcontrollers and low-power chips, enabling real-time AI inference without cloud connectivity.
What does '5G network slicing' enable for IoT deployments?
Answer: Creating virtual dedicated networks with guaranteed QoS for specific IoT use cases
5G network slicing allows operators to create isolated virtual network segments with specific latency, bandwidth, and reliability guarantees tailored to different IoT applications.
Which protocol does Matter (formerly Project CHIP) use as its underlying IP transport for smart home devices?
Answer: Thread (IPv6 mesh)
Matter uses Thread as its primary IP-based mesh networking protocol, running over IPv6 to provide reliable, low-power smart home device communication.
What is the role of a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip in IoT security?
Answer: Securely storing cryptographic keys and device identity credentials in hardware
A TPM provides hardware-based storage for cryptographic keys, certificates, and measurements, enabling secure boot and device attestation.
In augmented reality (AR), what is a 'spatial anchor'?
Answer: A persistent coordinate in the real world where AR content is attached
A spatial anchor is a real-world coordinate saved in a shared space so multiple devices or sessions can display AR content at the exact same physical location.
