Although the number of smartphone users is continuously increasing due to the advantage of being able to easily use most of the Internet services, the number of counterfeit applications is rapidly increasing and personal information stored in the smartphone is leaked to the outside. Because Android app was developed with Java language, it is relatively easy to create counterfeit apps if attacker performs the de-compilation process to reverse app by abusing the repackaging vulnerability. Although an obfuscation technique can be applied to prevent this, but most mobile apps are not adopted. Therefore, it is fundamentally impossible to block repackaging attacks on Android mobile apps. In addition, personal information stored in the smartphone is leaked outside because it does not provide a forgery self-verification procedure on installing an app in smartphone. In order to solve this problem, blockchain is used to implement a process of certificated application registration and a fake app identification and detection mechanism is proposed on Hyperledger Fabric framework.

To trade cryptocurrency, traders require a personal cryptocurrency wallet. Cryptocurrency itself using blockchain technology is guaranteed excellent security and reliability, so the threat of blockchain hacking is almost impossible, but the exchange environment used by traders for transactions is most subject to hacking threats. Even if transactions are made safely through blockchain during the transaction process, if the trader's wallet information itself is hacked, security cannot be secured in these processes. Exchange hacking is mainly done by stealing a trader's wallet information, giving the hacker access to the victim's wallet assets. In this paper, to prevent this, we would like to reconstruct the existing Hyperledger Fabric structure and propose a system that verifies the identity integrity of traders during the transaction process using whitelisting. The advantage is that through this process, damage to cryptocurrency assets caused by hackers can be prevented and recognized. In addition, we aim to point out and correct problems in the transaction process that may occur if the victim's wallet information is stolen from the existing Hyperledger Fabric.
