In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, new technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud, Internet of Things, and blockchain are being developed and applied to new industries. Blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, security, and transparency, so it can serve as a core technology for developing new growth industries. Blockchain is provided as BaaS (Blockchain as a Service), but it is not easy for users who are introducing or building blockchain to choose BaaS. In this study, we identify evaluation factors and develop a decision-making model using fuzzy theory and AHP for BaaS selection. Eventually we aim to help companies choose the best BaaS and develop and commercialize blockchain-based services by developing a new decision-making model for BaaS selection.

Openstack is widely used as a representative open-source infrastructure of the service (IaaS) platform. The Openstack Identity Service is a centralized approach component based on the token including the Memcached for cache, which is the in-memory key-value store. Token validation requests are concentrated on the centralized server as the number of differently encrypted tokens increases. This paper proposes the practical Byzantine fault tolerance (PBFT) blockchain-based Openstack Identity Service, which can improve the performance efficiency and reduce security vulnerabilities through a PBFT blockchain framework-based decentralized approach. The experiment conducted by using the Apache JMeter demonstrated that latency was improved by more than 33.99% and 72.57% in the PBFT blockchain-based Openstack Identity Service, compared to the Openstack Identity Service, for 500 and 1,000 differently encrypted tokens, respectively.

With the development of blockchain technology, the scope of blockchain applications has expanded rapidly. Blockchain decentralization allows transaction participants to make transparent and safe transactions without a third trust agency. A distributed ledger-based system enables transparent and trusted business for anonymous users. For this reason, many companies apply blockchain to various fields such as logistics, electronic voting, and real estate. Despite this interest, there are still not enough case studies confirming the potential of blockchain as a concrete business model. Therefore, it is necessary to study how blockchain technology can change the existing business model and connect it to a new business model. In this paper, we propose blockchain-based business models and workflow types in various fields such as healthcare, logistics, and energy. We also present application cases. We expect to help companies apply blockchain to their business.

As there has been growing interests in PHR-based personalized health management project, various institutions recently explore safe methods of recording personal medical and health information. In particular, innovative medical solution can be realized when medical researchers and medical service institutes can generally get access to patient data. As EMR data is extremely sensitive, there has been no progress in clinical information exchange. Moreover, patients cannot get access to their own health data and exchange it with researchers or service institutions. It can be operated in terms of technology, yet policy environment are affected by state laws as well as Privacy and Security Policy. Blockchain technology-independent, in transaction, and under test-is introduced in the medical industry in order to settle these problems. In other words, medical organizations can grant preliminary approval on patient information exchange by using the safely encrypted and distributed Blockchain ledger and can be managed independently and completely by individuals. More apparently, medical researchers can gain access to information, thereby contributing to the scientific advance in rare diseases or minor groups in the world. In this paper, we focused on how to manage personal medical information and its protective use and proposes medical treatment exchange system for patients based on a permissioned Blockchain network for the safe PHR operation. Trusted Model for Sharing Medical Data (TMSMD), that is proposed model, is based on exchanging information as patients rely on hospitals as well as among hospitals. And introduce medical treatment exchange system for patients based on a permissioned Blockchain network. This system is a model that encrypts and records patients' medical information by using this permissioned Blockchain and further enhances the security due to its restricted counterfeit. This provides service to share medical information uploaded on the permissioned Blockchain to approved users through role-based access control. In addition, this paper presents methods with smart contracts if medical institutions request patient information complying with domestic laws by using the distributed Blockchain ledger and eventually granting preliminary approval for sharing information. This service will provide an independent information transaction and the Blockchain technology under test will be adopted in the medical industry.

블록체인 2.0은 프로그래밍 가능한 스마트계약을 사용하여 다양한 DApp(Distributed Application) 개발을 지원한다. 하지만 스마트계약이 동작하는 환경은 블록 높이, 블록 해쉬, 트랜잭션 해쉬 등 결정된 데이터만 접근할 수 있어서 블록체인 기반 복권, 배팅, 키 생성 등 난수를 필요로 하는 응용은 블록체인 외부에서 데이터를 가져 올 수 있는 오라클 서비스를 이용해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 난수 생성 오라클 서비스를 개발하였다. 또한 난수 생성을 위해 비정형 빅데이터를 entropy source로 사용하였다. 이렇게 생성된 난수를 NIST SP800-22 난수 테스트하여 난수로 사용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 물리적 세계를 entropy source로 사용하는 기존의 진성난수 생성기에 비해서 비용측면에서 유리함을 설명한다.

The access control system is a system that allows users to selectively enter the building by granting an access key to the user for security. Access keys with weak security are easily exposed to attackers and cannot properly perform the role that authenticates users. Access code keys should be protected from forgery or spoofing. For this reason, access key verification service models is important in security. However, most models manage all access keys on one central server. This method not only interrupts all services due to server errors, but also risks forgery and spoofing in the process of transmitting access keys. Therefore, blockchain algorithms are used to reduce this risk. This paper proposes a blockchain-based access key verification service model that used distributed stored blockchain gateways on storing access keys and authenticates the user's identity based on them. To evaluate the performance of this model, an experiment was conducted to confirm the performance of the access key forgery recovery rate and the blockchain network performance. As a result, the proposed method is 100% forgery recovery rate, and the registration and verification process is evaluated at 387.58 TPS and 136.66 TPS.

Blockchain is a distributed network in a decentralized P2P infrastructure. In this paper, we propose and implement a blockchain-based pet trade service DApp(Decentralized Application). In the existing trading services, there is no way to know the status of dogs in interpersonal transactions and an additional distribution cost has been incurred. As a solution to this problem, we introduce a blockchain technology for a pet trade service where users can check whether an individual pet is healthy or not by its registered biometric data in order to have an efficient and confident trade service. The registered users can purchase puppies or registering information for their dogs to sell through a pet trade service DApp. It is also possible to make a reliable trade by verifying whether the dog is actually the same one through an inscription information of a dog.
