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.

Real cyberterrors are invisible and difficult to identify. Even after a cyberattack, its origin and cause are difficult to determine. Cyberterrorism results in invisible cyberwars, and it is believed that World War IV will begin with a cyberwarfare. For national cybersecurity, information on cybersecurity must be collected, shared, and disseminated. In this study, we investigate a blockchain system designed based on the World Cybersecurity Agreement. National cybersecurity information is linked to the hyperledger blockchain system network through the National Cybersecurity Center. National cybersecurity information designs and uses a secure protocol for protection; further, it is collected, shared, and disseminated to treaty countries. National cybersecurity information is shared and spread by the hyperledger blockchain system, and it uses a cyberdefense system that responds to the cyberattacks and their origin. This paper serves as a policy and legislation guideline for forming a World Cybersecurity Agreement between countries.

APK (Android Application Package)는 리패키징 공격에 취약하므로 APK 파일 내부에 난독화 기술이 적용되어 있다. 하지만 리버스 엔지니어링 기술 역시 더욱 고도화 됨에 따라 또다른 위조 모바일 APK 파일이 개발 및 배포되고 있어 새로운 대응 방식이 필요하다. 블록체인은 암호화 방식을 사용하여 연결 및 보호되는 레코드 블록이 지속적으로 추가되는 방식으로, 각 블록에는 일반적으로 이전 블록의 암호화 해시값, 타임스탬프 및 트랜잭션 데이터 등을 포함하고 있다. 따라서, 일단 블록체인에 기록되면 해당 블록의 데이터는 이후에 생성된 모든 블록을 변경하지 않고서는 소급해서 변경/수정할 수 없다. 그러므로 블록체인 기술을 적용하면 모바일 APK 파일에 대한 정상 및 위조 여부를 확인할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Hyperledger Composer를 이용한 컨소시움 블록체인 프레임워크를 기반으로 합법적인 APK를 블록체인 내에 기록하고 유지함으로써 위조 APK에 대한 검출 기능을 제공하는 DApp (분산형 애플리케이션)을 개발하였다. 제안된 DApp을 통해 사용자의 스마트폰에 위조된 앱이 설치 되는 것을 사전에 방지 할 수 있으므로 궁극적으로는 정상적이고 합법적인 안드로이드 모바일 앱 사용 환경을 제공할 것으로 기대된다.

암호화폐를 거래하기 위해서 거래자들은 개인의 암호화폐 지갑이 요구된다. 블록체인 기술을 활용한 암호화폐 그 자체는 우수한 보안성과 신뢰성을 보장받고 있어 블록체인 해킹 위협은 거의 불가능하지만, 거래자들이 거래를 위해 사용하는 거래소 환경에서 해킹 위협을 가장 많이 받고 있다. 거래 과정에서 블록체인을 통해 안전하게 거래가 이루어 진다 해도 거래자의 지갑 정보 자체가 해킹되면 이와 같은 과정들에서 보안을 확보할 수 없다. 거래소 해킹은 주로 거래자의 지갑 정보를 탈취함으로써, 해커가 피해자의 지갑 자산에 접근이 가능해지므로 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 이를 방지하고자 기존 Hyperledger Fabric 구조를 재구성하고, Whitelisting을 활용하여 거래 과정에서 거래자의 신원 무결성을 검증하는 시스템을 제안하고자 한다. 해당 과정을 거쳐 해커에 의한 암호화폐 자산 피해를 방지하고 인지할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한, 기존 Hyperledger Fabric에서 피해자의 지갑 정보가 탈취되었을 경우 발생할 수 있는 거래 과정의 문제점을 지적하고 이를 보완하고자 한다.

Purpose This study aims to propose a blockchain-based platform that can guarantee enhanced trustworthiness in corporate ESG efforts, demanded by global ESG initiatives such as GRI and TCFD. Blockchain technology, recognized for its transparency and data immutability, can contribute to building trust in ESG disclosures, meeting the data transparency verification needs required by these initiatives. This research also explores the use of NFTs representing unique ESG efforts by companies, helping them in organizing and sharing ESG information with investors and consumers. Design/methodology/approach This study utilizes Hyperledger Fabric, a permissioned blockchain known for its enhanced transparency, scalability, and suitability for business transactions, to develop a blockchain platform for managing and disclosing ESG information assets in a trustworthy manner. Furthermore, it introduces the concept of ESG NFTs as a more reliable method for conveying ESG information to stakeholders, where ESG NFTs undergo verification process by third-party authenticators and evaluation by independent evaluators for credibility of ESG disclosure. Findings The use of NFTs, which has been predominantly intended for market trading in public blockchain, offers a credible means of disseminating corporate ESG status and evaluations in a permissioned blockchain, better fit for business transactions. By representing information assets as NFTs, which are tamper-proof and establish clear ownership, the proposed platform enables effective management of ESG-related information assets.
