An enterprise patch-management system (PMS) typically supplies a single point of failure (SPOF) of centralization structure. However, a Blockchain system offers features of decentralization, transaction integrity, user certification, and a smart chaincode. This study proposes a Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain-based distributed patch-management system and verifies its technological feasibility through prototyping, so that all participating users can be protected from various threats. In particular, by adopting a private chain for patch file set management, it is designed as a Blockchain system that can enhance security, log management, latest status supervision and monitoring functions. In addition, it uses a Hyperledger Fabric that owns a practical Byzantine fault tolerant consensus algorithm, and implements the functions of upload patch file set, download patch file set, and audit patch file history, which are major features of PMS, as a smart contract (chaincode), and verified this operation. The distributed ledger structure of Blockchain-based PMS can be a solution for distributor and client authentication and forgery problems, SPOF problem, and distribution record reliability problem. It not only presents an alternative to dealing with central management server loads and failures, but it also provides a higher level of security and availability.

최근 블록체인이 활성화되면서 블록체인 시장 및 블록체인 모델의 활용도가 늘어나고 있다. 그중 하이퍼레저 패브릭은 프라이빗 블록체인의 대표적인 플랫폼이다. 하이퍼레저 패브릭에서 클라이언트는 트랜잭션을 보증 피어에게 전송할 때 사전에 정해진 보증 피어에게만 전송한다. 이는 트랜잭션의 실행 비용 및 보증 피어의 성능을 고려하지 않아 보증 시간을 증가시키는 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문은 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 트랜잭션의 실행 비용에 따라 효율적으로 보증 피어를 라우팅하는 기법을 제안한다.

It is difficult to educate the overall operation of public and private blockchains with different characteristics. Recently, most education for blockchain is targeted at public blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, in an actual business environment, a private blockchain such as HyperLedger Fabric is used because access to corporate data is controlled through user authentication. In the case of HLF-based education, it is necessary to understand various components that are not in the public blockchain, such as peers, orderers, and channels. In this paper, a lab framework for HLF is designed for an efficient and systematic understanding of the functions and operations. The framework consists of HLF network, chaincode, and decentralized software control functions. Through the framework, the network configuration, distribution and activation of chaincode, and dApp execution process were checked step by step, and it was very easy to understand the overall flow for blockchain services. In addition, it is expected that a systematic understanding of the overall flow will be possible even in future network expansion.

Recent advances in network and hardware technologies have led to active research and multiple network technologies that fuse blockchain technologies with security. We propose a system model that analyzes technologies using existing blockchain and verifies the integrity of files using private blockchain in a limited environment. The proposed model can be written as a chain code of Hyperleisure Fabric, a private blockchain platform, and verified for integrity of files through Hyperleisure Explorer, a private blockchain integrated management platform. The system performance of the proposed model was analyzed from a developer perspective and from a user perspective. As a result of the analysis, there are compatibility problems according to the version of various modules to run the blockchain platform, and only limited elements such as chain code status and groups can be checked.

With the growth of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technologies, the number of IoT devices developers need to manage has increased exponentially. Many IoT standards have been proposed to allow those devices to communicate efficiently in day-to-day tasks. However, we lack trusted interworking entities for devices from different standards to collaborate securely. This paper proposes a blockchain platform that bridges multiple heterogeneous IoT platforms to co-exist and interwork. Specifically, we designed an interworking proxy application entity (IPE) implemented as a chaincode in Hyperledger Fabric to collect and process data coming from/to oneM2M and LWM2M architecture. The use of blockchain will guarantee network reliability and data integrity so that cross-standard communications can be audited and processed securely. Based on our evaluation, we show that the interworking between oneM2M and LWM2M through our blockchain platform is feasible. Furthermore, the proposed system can process up to 206 transactions per second with 1,000 running applications, which is about an 87% increase from the previously referenced study.

Since COVID19 virus has been occured, variety steps of the quarantine guidelines were enacted. In step 2.5, eating in a cafe was prohibited and only takeout was permitted, but the government has changed several rules. So now people can have a dissert or coffee in the cafe. Though the government adviced available staying time as 1 hour, it is not obeyed often except superstore, and even the management depends on handwriting. In this paper, we implemented a blockchain system to use for this case. This system is implemented with using hyperledger fabric, the blockchain framework which is made by IBM. For a test, 1 organization is in the system and chaincode is installed to the organization to run the system. We expect the certain effect to the quarantine via this system. Moreover, we will develop an application by using this system as a backend.

In this paper, we propose a new blockchain technology that could comply with GDPR. The proposed model can prevent illegal access by controlling access to the personal information according to a access policy. For example, it can control access to the information on a role-basis and information validation period. The core mechanism of the proposed model is to encrypt the personal information with public key which is associated with users attributes policy, and then decrypt it with a private key and users attributes based on a Attribute-based Encryption scheme. It can reduce a trusted third-part risk by replacing it with a number of nodes selected from the blockchain. And also the private key is generated in the form of one-time token to improve key management efficiency. We proved the feasibility by simulating the proposed model using the chaincode of the Hyperledger Fabric and evaluate the security.

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.
