Due to the characteristics of an ad hoc network without a control center, self-organization, and flexible topology, the trust evaluation of the nodes in the network is extremely difficult. Based on the analysis of ad hoc networks and the blockchain technology, a blockchain-based node-level trust evaluation model is proposed. The concepts of the node trust degree of the HASH list on the blockchain and the perfect reward and punishment mechanism are adopted to construct the node trust evaluation model of the ad hoc network. According to the needs of different applications the network security level can be dynamically adjusted through changes in the trust threshold. The simulation experiments demonstrate that ad-hoc on-demand distance vector(AODV) Routing protocol based on this model of multicast-AODV(MAODV) routing protocol shows a significant improvement in security compared with the traditional AODV and on-demand multipath distance vector(AOMDV) routing protocols.

This paper discusses on the implementation of blockchain system, specifically the private system for Energy trading purpose. Blockchain is records bundled together in blocks and added to the chain after ledger is generated. All the blocks in the entire networks should be same contents and also only the permitted nodes can join the chain in the private blockchain system, thus not that same block and permitted nodes cannot be accepted in terms of proof-of-work phase. We implement the all stages which are necessary to process blockchain system. After coding the whole process, we test and conclude that the system is correctly working in terms of the functions implemented.

IoT applications are quickly spread in many fields. Blockchain methods(BC), defined as a distributed sharing mechanism, offer excellent support for IoT evolution. The BC provides a secure way for communication between IoT devices. However, the IoT environments are threatened by hacker attacks and malicious intrusions. The IoT applications security are faced with three challenges: intrusions and attacks detection, secure communication, and compressed storage information. This paper proposed a system based on double-blockchain to improve the communication transactions' safety and enhance the information compression method for the stored data. Information security is enhanced by using an Ellipse Curve Cryptography(ECC) considered in a double-blockchain case. The data compression is ensured by the Compressed Sensing(CS) method. The conducted experimentation reveals that the proposed method is more accurate in security and storage performance than previous related works.

Purpose - In this study, we aimed to theorize blockchain-based social media platform users' commitment by examining the impact of their perceived justice of the token reward system. In addition, this study applied psychological ownership theory to verify the underlying mechanism between users' perceptions of justice and their commitment to the platforms. Research design, data, and methodology - To empirically test our conceptual framework in the study, we collected data through a web-based survey approach from the responses of 385 users who had experience with blockchain-based social media platforms. We employed a structural equation modeling approach to empirically test our proposed hypotheses. Result - The results indicated that distributive justice and informational justice have positive effects on user commitment. The results also showed that psychological ownership plays an important role in mediating the relationship between users' sense of distributive justice and commitment, and between procedural justice and commitment. The findings provided a better understanding of the sense of justice and user commitment in a blockchain-based social media environment. Conclusion - This study represents a preliminary attempt to theorize and empirically examine blockchain-based social media platform users' commitment. This study provided important contributions to the literature on how the effect of users' sense of justice in a reward system affects their commitment to blockchain-based social media platforms.

Internet of Things (IoT) networks currently employ an increased number of users and applications, raising their susceptibility to cyberattacks and data breaches, and endangering our security and privacy. Intrusion detection, which includes monitoring and analyzing incoming and outgoing traffic to detect and prohibit the hostile activity, is critical to ensure cybersecurity. Conventional intrusion detection systems (IDS) are centralized, making them susceptible to cyberattacks and other relevant privacy issues because all the data is gathered and processed inside a single entity. This research aims to create a blockchain-based architecture to support federated learning and improve cybersecurity and intrusion detection in IoT networks. In order to assess the effectiveness of the suggested approach, we have utilized well-known cybersecurity datasets along with centralized and federated machine learning models.

The integration of blockchain technology with the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has enabled secure and decentralised data exchange. However, security vulnerabilities and performance limitations remain significant challenges in IoT blockchain networks. This work proposes a novel approach that combines transaction representation and machine learning techniques to address these challenges. Various clustering techniques, including k-means, DBSCAN, Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM), and Hierarchical clustering, were employed to effectively group unlabelled transaction data based on their intrinsic characteristics. Anomaly transaction prediction models based on classifiers were then developed using the labelled data. Performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-measure were used to identify the minority class representing specious transactions or security threats. The classifiers were also evaluated on their performance using balanced and unbalanced data. Compared to unbalanced data, balanced data resulted in an overall average improvement of approximately 15.85% in accuracy, 88.76% in precision, 60% in recall, and 74.36% in F1-score. This demonstrates the effectiveness of each classifier as a robust classifier with consistently better predictive performance across various evaluation metrics. Moreover, the k-means and GMM clustering techniques outperformed other techniques in identifying security threats, underscoring the importance of appropriate feature selection and clustering methods. The findings have practical implications for reinforcing security and efficiency in real-world IoT blockchain networks, paving the way for future investigations and advancements.

블록체인 기술은 블록체인 네트워크에 참여하는 사용자의 데이터가 분산 처리되어 저장되는 시스템이다. 비트코인과 이더리움을 필두로 세계적으로 관심을 받고 있으며, 블록체인의 활용성은 무궁무진한 것으로 예측되고 있다. 하지만 블록체인의 모든 데이터를 네트워크 참여자에게 공개하는 투명성으로 인해 블록체인 데이터 프라이버시 보호에 대한 필요성이 개인정보를 처리하는 각종 금융, 의료, 부동산 분야에서 떠오르고 있다. 기존 블록체인 데이터 프라이버시 보호를 위해서 스마트 컨트랙트, 동형암호화, 암호학 키 방식을 사용하는 연구들이 주를 이루었으나, 본 논문에서는 기존의 논문들과 차별화된 매트릭스 문자 재배치 기법을 사용한 데이터 프라이버시 보호를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 접근방안은 원본 데이터를 매트릭스 문자 재배치 하는 방법, 배치된 데이터를 다시 원본으로 되돌리는 방법, 크게 두 가지로 구성이 되어있다. 정성적인 실험을 통해 본 논문에서 제안하는 접근방안의 안전성을 평가하였으며, 매트릭스 문자 재배치가 적용된 데이터를 원본 데이터로 되돌릴 때 걸리는 시간을 측정하여 프라이빗 블록체인 환경에서도 충분히 적용이 가능할 것이라는 것을 증명하였다.
