With the spread of COVID-19 infections, the need for next-generation learning management system for undact education is rapidly increasing, and the Ministry of Education is planning future education through the establishment of fourth-generation NEIS. If the fourth-generation NEIS System is well utilized, there are advantages such as providing personalized education services and activating the use of educational data, but a solution to the illegal access problem in an access control environment where strict authorization is difficult due to various user rights. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based access control audit system for next-generation learning management. Sensitive personal information is encrypted and stored using the proposed system, and when the auditor performs an audit later, a secret key for decryption is issued to ensure auditing. In addition, in order to prevent modification and deletion of stored log information, log information was stored in the blockchain to ensure stability. In this paper, a hierarchical ID-based encryption and a private blockchain are used so that higher-level institutions such as the Ministry of Education can hierarchically manage the access rights of each institution.

Electronic contract systems are widely used to integrate and manage the contract management process based on the development of ICT technology. Recently, improvement methods using block chain technology are being studied. However, contract management systems have processing performance, security vulnerabilities, data entry, and service accessibility issues. In this paper, we propose a block - chain based contract management platform with block chain, smart contract, and Rest API. The suggested platform includes the RPBFT algorithm which solves the processing performance and security vulnerability of the existing consensus authentication algorithm, and the algorithm to prevent data entry and enhance transparency of participants. The block-chain-based contract management platform proposed in this paper provides a use environment with improved processing performance, security, reliability, and transparency, and can be used through API without burdening construction. Therefore, The effect can be expected.

Electronic voting has been followed by a lot of research as it provides convenience to voters and increases participation rates. Nevertheless, electronic voting has not been widespread yet. The existing electronic voting system does not guarantee credibility, and there arises a question on the security that the voting could be forged or altered by the attack to the central server. In this paper, we proposed blockchain based systems to solve the problems in electronic voting. Although the blockchain may guarantee the security of transaction data, there have been only a few electronic voting systems implemented using the blockchain. We developed blockchain enabled voting and brought out some of its related legal, technical and operational challenges to enforce more security in voting. Unlike centralized voting, the systems could enforce security and solve the problems such as forgery or alteration of transaction data caused by hacking or any attempts to gain control of the central server system.

In the future, as autonomous vehicles become popular at home and abroad, the frequency of accidents involving autonomous vehicles is also expected to increase. In particular, when a fully autonomous vehicle is operated, various criminal/civil problems such as sexual violence, assault, and fraud between passengers may occur as well as the vehicle accident itself. In this case, forensics for accidents involving autonomous vehicles and accidents involving passengers in the vehicles are also about to change. This paper reviewed the types of security threats of autonomous vehicles, methods for maintaining the integrity of evidence data using blockchain technology, and research on digital forensics. Through this, it was possible to describe threats that would occur in autonomous vehicles using blockchain technology and forensic techniques for each type of accident in a scenario-type manner. Through this study, a block that helps forensics of self-driving vehicles before and after accidents by investigating forensic security technology of domestic and foreign websites to respond to vulnerabilities and attacks of autonomous vehicles, and research on block chain security of research institutes and information security companies. A chain method was proposed.

If ECU data, which is responsible for collecting and processing data such as sensors and signals of automobiles, is manipulated by an attack, it can cause damage to the driver. In this paper, we propose a system that verifies the integrity of automotive ECU data using blockchain. Since the car and the server encrypt data using the session key to transmit and receive data, reliability is ensured in the communication process. The server verifies the integrity of the transmitted data using a hash function, and if there is no problem in the data, it is stored in the blockchain and off-chain distributed storage. The ECU data hash value is stored in the blockchain and cannot be tampered with, and the original ECU data is stored in a distributed storage. Using the verification system, users can verify attacks and tampering with ECU data, and malicious users can access ECU data and perform integrity verification when data is tampered with. It can be used according to the user's needs in situations such as insurance, car repair, trading and sales. For future research, it is necessary to establish an efficient system for real-time data integrity verification.

Due to the great advances in e-Marketplace and changes in type of items purchased from the online market, it has been dramatically increased the demand of the storage and transportation under the special conditions such as restricted temperature. Especially, the cold chain needs the way to transparently measure and monitor the entire network in realtime because it has a very complicated structure and requires totally different criteria at the every different steps and items. In this research, it has been presented the performance evaluation metrics to make contract using service level agreement (SLA), the way to apply the smart contract based on blockchain, the structure of blocks, service platform and application in order to build cold chain which can prevent the risk factors by measuring and sharing information in realtime using block chain technology. In addition, we have proposed the way to store the measured performance and reputation of each player in the block using smart contract based on SLA. With the presented framework, all players including service providers as well as users can secure the information for making the rational decisions. When the service platform is actually built and operated, it seems possible to secure the information in transparently and realtime. Also, it is possible to prevent the risk factors or prepare the preemptive plans to react on them.

After the corona virus, as non-face-to-face services are activated, domain services that guarantee integrity by embedding sensing information of the Internet of Things (IoT) with block chain technology are expanding. For example, in areas such as safety and security using CCTV, a process is required to safely update firmware in real time and to confirm that there is no malicious intrusion. In the existing safe security processing procedures, in many cases, the person in charge performing official duties carried a USB device and directly updated the firmware. However, when private blockchain technology such as Hyperledger is used, the convenience and work efficiency of the Internet of Things environment can be expected to increase. This article describes scenarios in how to prevent vulnerabilities in the operating environment of various customers such as firmware updates and device changes in a non-face-to-face environment. In particular, we introduced the optimal blockchain technique for the Internet of Things (IoT), which is easily exposed to malicious security risks such as hacking and information leakage. In this article, we tried to present the necessity and implications of security management that guarantees integrity through operation applying block chain technology in the increasingly expanding Internet of Things environment. If this is used, it is expected to gain insight into how to apply the blockchain technique to guidelines for strengthening the security of the IoT environment in the future.
