Mitigating IoT data management security concerns through blockchain and machine learning based solutions: Study and Conceptual Design

The Internet of Things industry is expanding rapidly. However, many security breaches occur, and privacy is often at stake in traditional IoT networks. These centralized systems will not be able to cope with dynamically changing environments. In light of these risks, it is crucial to prevent and minimize the chances of attacks occurring....

Blockchain: What Does It Mean to Industrial Electronics?: Technologies, Challenges, and Opportunities

Imagine you want to send money to a friend overseas. Wouldn't it be good if you didn't have to pay hefty fees to the intermediaries, and your friend received the funds very quickly? Now imagine ordering parts to make a product in your manufacturing plant. Wouldn't it be great if you were able to verify where each part comes from and have...

VAPOR: A Value-Centric Blockchain that is Scale-out, Decentralized, and Flexible by Design

Blockchains is a special type of distributed systems that operates in unsafe networks. In most blockchains, all nodes should reach consensus on all state transitions with Byzantine fault tolerant algorithms, which creates bottlenecks in performance. In this paper, we propose a new type of blockchains, namely Value-Centric Blockchains (VCBs),...
