Secure smart contract data sharing for IoT devices

The increasing demand for sharing Internet of Things (IoT) increases demand for a secure way of sharing data. Smart contracts could provide this because of its distributed nature. Proxy re-encryption is an encryption (PRE) method that can be used to share information. In this paper, a secure data sharing scheme is presented that uses multi-hop...

Is the batch size affecting the performance of Regression CNNs ?

With an expectation of 8.3 trillion photos stored in 2021 [1], convolutional neural networks (CNN) are beginning to be preeminent in the field of image recognition. However, with this deep neural network (DNN) still being seen as a black box, it is hard to fully employ its capabilities. A need to tune hyperparameters is required to have a robust...

Introducing Self-Sovereign Identity and Identity as Collateral in Decentralized Finance

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is build on smart-contract supporting blockchains, with Ethereum being the largest ecosystem. A collection of smart-contracts aims to serve as decentralized implementations of financial systems. The philosophy of DeFi dictates automation and desintermediation through exploiting nascent distributed ledger technology...
