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.

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.

This paper deals with the implementation of electronic voting system using permissioned block chain technology. Cases studies have recently been under way in many industrial areas to review the application of the blockchain based electronic voting system. The existing electronic voting system was easily exposed by hacking because of its centralized characteristics, making it difficult to ensure the reliability and transparency of the voting system itself. In this study, we proposed key considerations and concepts to ensure the reliability and transparency of voters and voting stakeholder by utilizing a hyperledger fabric which is nowadays widely used as a permissioned blockchain.

Each online user should perform a separate registration and manage his ID and password for each online commerce or SNS service. Since a common secret is shared between the user and the SNS server, the server compromise induces the user privacy breach and financial loss. In this paper, it is considered that the user's authentication material is shared between multiple SNS servers for user authentication. A blockchain service architecture based on Hyperledger Fabric is proposed for each user to utilize an identical ID and OTP using the enhanced hash-chain-based OTP.

최근, 다양한 정보의 수집 및 처리가 필요한 스마트 홈, 의료, 교통, 제조 등 여러 산업 분야에서 IoT(Internet of Things)가 많이 활용되고 있다. 특히 스마트 홈 환경에서 IoT 장치로 수집되는 정보는 민감한 개인 정보를 포함할 수 있기 때문에 특정 그룹이나 개인만이 해당 정보에 접근할 수 있도록 관리할 필요가 있다. 또한, IoT 환경에서 Blockchain 기반으로 데이터의 신뢰성을 확보하는 분산 저장소의 경우, 지연 시간의 증가 문제가 발생될 수 있기 때문에 실시간 데이터 수집에 대한 처리 속도를 향상할 방안이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 사용자와 IoT 장치 간 생성한 그룹 ID 로 해당 그룹에 대한 접근 권한을 관리하고, Hyperledger Fabric 과 별도의 데이터베이스 운용으로 실시간성, 신뢰성을 향상할 수 있는 Hyperledger Fabric 기반 스마트 홈 Architecture 를 제안한다. 이 Architecture는 IoT 장치가 사용되는 다양한 환경에서 보안성, 실시간성, 신뢰성을 향상할 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we present a healthcare data integration management and sharing platform based on a permissioned blockchain-based system called the Hyperledger fabric. The Hyperledger fabric allows patients to easily access their data, share the data with agencies that need it, and also reward participants. The healthcare data is stored in the blockchain by a de-identification process. Privacy is protected by setting detailed access rights to the stored data. The proposed model provides higher security than other models using a public blockchain. This study confirms that patient data can be stored more securely, by comparing the data stored in the blockchain with that from existing information storage methods.

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.

When a crime occurs, the information necessary for solving the case, and various pieces of the evidence needed to prove the crime are collected from the crime scene. The tangible residues collected through scientific methods at the crime scene become evidence at trial and a clue to prove the facts directly against the offense of the suspect. Therefore, the scientific investigation and forensic handling for securing objective forensic in crime investigation is increasingly important. Today, digital systems, such as smartphones, CCTVs, black boxes, etc. are increasingly used as criminal information investigation clues, and digital forensic is becoming a decisive factor in investigation and trial. However, the systems have the risk that digital forensic may be damaged or manipulated by malicious insiders in the existing centralized management systems based on client/server structure. In this paper, we design and implement a blockchain based digital forensic management model using Hyperledger Fabric and Docker to guarantee the reliability and integrity of digital forensic. The proposed digital evidence management model allows only authorized participants in a distributed environment without a central management agency access the network to share and manage potential crime data. Therefore, it could be relatively safe from malicious internal attackers compared to the existing client/server model.

The demand for traceability of meat and livestock supply chains is growing due to the high-profile incidents of hormonal contamination. E. coli, dioxin, BSE, and antibiotics have been recorded. In this paper, we present blockchain-based poultry information management system design and implementation using Hyperledger Fabric. The proposed system offers accurate, decentralized, immutable and consensus process that promote trust and transparency between stakeholders. The main tasks of the system include the recording of the information associated with poultry rearing (from a hatchery to a farm), status report of the farm activities on a monthly basis. The system can track movement of docks through the supply chain until delivery to the final consumer through the retail outlet. The ability to trace the source of livestock product through all the stages of rearing/production, processing and distribution is essential for ensuring food safety as recall of contaminated product can easily be done thereby increasing consumer confidence.
