본 논문에서는 신뢰를 기반으로하는 블록체인의 이론적 영향에 접근하기 위하여 작업증명(PoW)에 대한 합의 알고리즘을 면밀히 조사·분석하고자 한다. 그 방법으로 합의 알고리즘에 대한 파악, 작업증명의 허가 절차에 대한 구체적 조사, 신뢰를 쌓아가는 방법에 대해 살펴보고 그 장단점을 분석하였다. 향후에는 작업증명 외에도 대표적 합의 방식인 지분증명과 위임형지분증명 알고리즘을 분석하여 블록체인이 어떻게 시스템적으로 신뢰를 구축하고 있는지 파악하고 사회철학적 접근의 기초 자료로 사용하고자 한다.

최근 블록체인 기술을 응용한 가상화폐에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 자본금이 많지 않은 사람들도 블록체인 네트워크에 참여하기 시작했다. 가장 유명한 가상화폐인 비트코인이 채택한 PoW 방식은 고성능 하드웨어의 과열된 열풍을 불어왔고 PoS 방식은 기존 지분이 많은 참여자들이 많이 존재하여 소수의 자본금을 가진 신규 참여자들이 네트워크에 새로 참여하기 어려운 환경이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존 블록체인 증명방식인 PoW, PoS 방식보다 네트워크 참여를 위한 자본금이 적고 신규로 참여하더라도 리스크가 적은 PoP(Proof-of-Probability) 방식을 소개한다. PoP 방식은 블록을 생성할 시 실제 암호화된 해쉬와 수많은 가짜 해쉬를 각 노드들이 정렬하여 진짜 해쉬를 복호화하여 찾은 노드가 블록을 생성하는 방식이다. 또한 1개의 해쉬를 복호화하여 검증받을 때 1분의 대기시간을 두어 과열된 컴퓨팅파워 경쟁을 제한한다. 지분(Stake)이 많을수록 블록을 생성할 확률은 높아지지만 이는 PoS 방식처럼 절대적이지 않다. 이 방식을 이용한다면 지분을 많이 가진 유효성 검증자(Validators)에 의한 집중화를 피하며 블록체인 네트워크에 참여하려는 진입장벽도 낮출 수 있을 것 이다.

Smart home with various IoT devices provides convenient and efficient services. However, security is important because sensitive information such as private video and audio can be collected and processed, as well as shared over the Internet. To manage such smart home IoT devices, we use blockchain technology that provides data integrity and secure management. In this paper, we utilize a PoS(Proof of Stake) method that verifies the block through the accumulated stake in the network rather than the computation power, out of the PoW(Proof of Work) block chain, in which the computation for the existing verification must be continuously performed. Among them, we propose a blockchain based system with DPoS(Delegated Proof of Stake) method to actively solve the scalability part, for security that is suitable for smart home IoT environment. We implement the proposed system with DPoS based EOSIO to show realization, and we show performance improvement in terms of transaction processing speed.

The core of the block chain technology is solving the problem of agreement on double payment, and the PoW, PoS and DPoS algorithms used for this have been studied. PoW in-process proofs are consensus systems that require feasible efforts to prevent minor or malicious use of computing capabilities, such as sending spam e-mail or initiating denial of service (DoS) attacks. The proof of the PoS is made to solve the Nothing at stake problem as well as the energy waste of the proof of work (PoW) algorithm, and the decision of the sum of each node is decided according to the amount of money, not the calculation ability. DPoS is that a small number of authorized users maintain a trade consensus through a distributed network, whereas DPS provides consent authority to a small number of representatives, whereas PoS has consent authority to all users. If PoS is direct democracy, DPoS is indirect democracy. This study aims to contribute to the continuous development of the related field through the study of the algorithm of the block chain agreement.

In recent times, private sector allocates the risk between private sector investors in terms of equity transaction and agreement transaction. The additional risk-allocation have made the cash flows of private sector investors fluctuated and some of the PPP projects delayed. Therefore, analyzing the impact of the risk reallocation between private sector investors on their cash flows is critical for encouraging the private sector participants. In this study, a model to evaluate the financial viability of PPP project is developed based on the discounted cash flow analysis. The model can analyze the variability by equity and agreement transaction by identifying key variables of equity transaction, influence factors of agreement transaction, and relationship between the transactions and investor's profitability. It is expected that the private sector can determine the investment decision for PPP projects when the risk reallocation is occurred.

The purpose of this paper is the brief introduction of touchless fingerprint recognition and the assessment of interoperability between touchless and legacy rolled fingerprints for the wide use of touchless fingerprint recognition system. In order to assess the interoperability, the contrast and resolution of the touchless images are optimized firstly. And we perform the matching by using conventional minutiae-based matcher. Experimental results are promising that our touchless fingerprints have enough matching performance with equal error rate 7.9%. We can expect that our paper will make a significant contribution to the wide use of touchless fingerprint recognition and the increment of interoperability in the system integration between touchless-based and touch-based fingerprint systems.

This paper introduces the Cherry system, a user-independent blockchain donation system. This is a procedure that is delivered to the beneficiary's bank account through a virtual account when a donor makes a donation, so there is no difference from the existing donation delivery method from the user's point of view However, within the blockchain, Cherry Points, a virtual currency based on the user ID, are issued and delivered to the beneficiary, while all transactions and the beneficiary's usage history are managed on the blockchain. By adopting this method, there was an improvement in blockchain performance, with transaction processing exceeding 1,000 TPS in typical transaction condition and service completion within 21.3 seconds. By applying the automatic influence control algorithm to this system, the influence according to stake, which is an individual donation, is greatly reduced to 0.3 after 2 months, thereby concentrating influence could be controlled automatically. In addition, it was designed to enable micro tracking by adding a tracking function by timestamp to the donation ledger for each individual ID, which greatly improved the transparency in the use of donations. From a service perspective, existing blockchain donation systems were handled as limited donation delivery methods. Since it is a direct service in a user-independent method, convenience has been greatly improved by delivering donations in various forms.
