Abstract The enormous volume of heterogeneous data from various smart device-based applications has growingly increased a deeply interlaced cyber-physical system. In order to deliver smart cloud services that require low latency with strong computational processing capabilities, the Edge Intelligence System (EIS) idea is now being employed, which takes advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing Technology (ECT). Thus, EIS presents a potential approach to enforcing future Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), particularly within a context of a Vehicular Network (VNets). However, the current EIS framework meets some issues and is conceivably vulnerable to multiple adversarial attacks because the central aggregator server… More >

Abstract As one of the major threats to the current DeFi (Decentralized Finance) ecosystem, reentrant attack induces data inconsistency of the victim smart contract, enabling attackers to steal on-chain assets from DeFi projects, which could terribly do harm to the confidence of the blockchain investors. However, protecting DeFi projects from the reentrant attack is very difficult, since generating a call loop within the highly automatic DeFi ecosystem could be very practicable. Existing researchers mainly focus on the detection of the reentrant vulnerabilities in the code testing, and no method could promise the non-existent of reentrant vulnerabilities. In this paper, we introduce… More >

Abstract The purpose of introducing blockchain into electronic archives sharing and utilization is to break the information barrier between electronic archives sharing departments by relying on technologies such as smart contract and asymmetric encryption. Aiming at the problem of dynamic permission management in common access control methods, a new access control method based on smart contract under blockchain is proposed, which improves the intelligence level under blockchain technology. Firstly, the Internet attribute access control model based on smart contract is established. For the dynamic access of heterogeneous devices, the management contract, permission judgment contract and access control contract are designed; Secondly,… More >

Abstract Blockchain technology is increasingly used to design trustworthy and reliable platforms for sharing information in a plethora of industries. It is a decentralized system that acts as an immutable record for storing data. It has the potential to disrupt a range of fields that rely on data, including autonomous systems like Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In this paper, we propose a framework based on blockchain and distributed ledger technology to improve transmission time and provide a secured and trusted method for UAVs to transfer data to the consumer efficiently while maintaining data reliability. The results show that our framework enables… More >

Abstract As the current global environment is deteriorating, distributed renewable energy is gradually becoming an important member of the energy internet. Blockchain, as a decentralized distributed ledger with decentralization, traceability and tamper-proof features, is an important way to achieve efficient consumption and multi-party supply of new energy. In this article, we establish a blockchain-based mathematical model of multiple microgrids and microgrid aggregators’ revenue, consider the degree of microgrid users’ preference for electricity thus increasing users’ reliance on the blockchain market, and apply the one-master-multiple-slave Stackelberg game theory to solve the energy dispatching strategy when each market entity pursues the maximum revenue.… More >

Abstract Blockchain-enabled cybersecurity system to ensure and strengthen decentralized digital transaction is gradually gaining popularity in the digital era for various areas like finance, transportation, healthcare, education, and supply chain management. Blockchain interactions in the heterogeneous network have fascinated more attention due to the authentication of their digital application exchanges. However, the exponential development of storage space capabilities across the blockchain-based heterogeneous network has become an important issue in preventing blockchain distribution and the extension of blockchain nodes. There is the biggest challenge of data integrity and scalability, including significant computing complexity and inapplicable latency on regional network diversity, operating system… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The wide application of intelligent terminals in microgrids has fueled the surge of data amount in recent years. In real-world scenarios, microgrids must store large amounts of data efficiently while also being able to withstand malicious cyberattacks. To meet the high hardware resource requirements, address the vulnerability to network attacks and poor reliability in the traditional centralized data storage schemes, this paper proposes a secure storage management method for microgrid data that considers node trust and directed acyclic graph (DAG) consensus mechanism. Firstly, the microgrid data storage model is designed based on the edge computing technology. The blockchain, deployed on… More >

Abstract With the application and development of blockchain technology, many problems faced by blockchain traceability are gradually exposed. Such as cross-chain information collaboration, data separation and storage, multi-system, multi-security domain collaboration, etc. To solve these problems, it is proposed to construct trust domains based on federated chains. The public chain is used as the authorization chain to build a cross-domain data traceability mechanism applicable to multi-domain collaboration. First, the architecture of the blockchain cross-domain model is designed. Combined with the data access strategy and the decision mechanism, the open and transparent judgment of cross-domain permission and cross-domain identity authentication is realized.… More >

Abstract These days, data is regarded as a valuable asset in the era of the data economy, which demands a trading platform for buying and selling data. However, online data trading poses challenges in terms of security and fairness because the seller and the buyer may not fully trust each other. Therefore, in this paper, a blockchain-based secure and fair data trading system is proposed by taking advantage of the smart contract and matchmaking encryption. The proposed system enables bilateral authorization, where data trading between a seller and a buyer is accomplished only if their policies, required by each other, are… More >
