Fog computing security and privacy issues, open challenges, and blockchain so...IJECEIAES
Due to the expansion growth of the IoT devices, Fog computing was proposed to enhance the low latency IoT applications and meet the distribution nature of these devices. However, Fog computing was criticized for several privacy and security vulnerabilities. This paper aims to identify and discuss the security challenges for Fog computing. It also discusses blockchain technology as a complementary mechanism associated with Fog computing to mitigate the impact of these issues. The findings of this paper reveal that blockchain can meet the privacy and security requirements of fog computing; however, there are several limitations of blockchain that should be further investigated in the context of Fog computing.

IEEE 5G World Forum: 8 trends of iot in 2018 and beyond july 9th 2018 santa ...Ahmed Banafa
The document discusses 8 trends predicted for IoT in 2018 and beyond: 1) Lack of standardization will continue due to the lack of unified standards, 2) More connectivity and more devices as the number of IoT devices doubles by 2021, 3) Blockchain is seen as providing "new hope" for IoT security, 4) Continued investments in IoT hardware, software, and services, 5) Increased use of fog computing to minimize latency and bandwidth, 6) Closer work between AI and IoT across many applications, 7) Emergence of new IoT-as-a-Service business models, and 8) Increased need for skills in big data analytics and AI.
Public Blockchain technology like Ethereum is gaining interest and growing use case among startup and fintechs.
Apart from scalability issues which are going to be solved with new consensus and mining techniques (Ethereum Metropolis and Bitcoin SegWit2x with Lightning network), the privacy of transactions is still an issue which is not yet fully addressed. Due to the public nature of Ethereum, many businesses are reluctant to deploy Smart-contract or Dapps solutions for fear of exposing confidential or sensitive information.
The use of zk-SNARKs (zk-SNARK stands for “Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge”) essentially solves this blocker. Moreover, the next Ethereum Improvement Proposal called 'Byzantium' includes zk-SNARKS.
zk-SNARKs allows verification of the correctness of computations, without a verifier having to execute those computations or even learn what was actually executed. Using zk-SNARKs, a verifier can confirm that a computation happened correctly, with ‘zero-knowledge’ of the computation itself.
During this talk, we present a brief overview of cryptography and the theory around the zero-knowledge proof algorithm. Then we showcase the benefits of zk-SNARKS and other privacy-preserving techniques (like zcash) on the public blockchain ecosystem.
Personal data and the blockchain – how will the GDPR influence blockchain app...BigchainDB
Simon Schwerin from BigchainDB talkst about privacy and blockchain:
There are many blockchain applications in the field of identity, IP, finance and energy that are working with personal data. As of May, 28 2018 the new EU GDPR will be implemented, with the aim to strengthen the human rights of individuals, by increasing protection and a feel of ownership of their personal data. It is also supposed to be designed to be technologically neutral and adaptable to processing personal data in different contexts, structures and manners. With regards to blockchain this leaves many questions open, to name a few:
Who will be the data controller in decentralized multi-node systems? – Is there an Accountability Gap? Difference of Private vs. Public set-ups?
Privacy by Design/Default and blockchain core features – Implementation or Clash of Principles? What about the right to be forgotten?
How could a blockchain privacy impact assessment (bPIA) look like to increase the chance of compliance with GDPR next year?
The advent of Blockchain technology has paved the way for a new range of innovations across the various verticals of industry. Every part of business activity is now pursuing assistance and assistance from the Blockchain, from human resources management to financial management. In 2009, this distributed ledger technology originated as an underlying Bitcoin trading mechanism. However, its characteristics such as decentralization, transparency, data protection, and others attracted the attention of developers and Blockchain soon emerged as the mainstream technology.
This document discusses the data privacy paradox and issues surrounding data collection and use. It notes that while most people are concerned about privacy, vast amounts of personal data are being collected and stored, with forecasts of 120 exabytes of data collected daily by 2020. However, only 13% of the public trusts data providers to securely handle sensitive personal information. The document outlines new EU regulations around data protection, privacy, and individual rights over personal data. It argues that data ethics are good for business and companies should offer a fair exchange to users, not just collect rear-view data about them.
Cyber crimes are on the rise and especially prevalent during the global pandemic where hackers leverage the vulnerabilities of organisations for new opportunities through technology.
Hospitals, for instance, are more likely to pay ransoms to restore access to their servers. Similarly, criminals may believe that corporations grappling with economic turmoil or logistical crises will be similarly easy to manipulate.

The 6th International Conference on Cryptography and Information Security (CRIS 2020) will take place January 25-26, 2020 in Zurich, Switzerland. The conference aims to bring together researchers to present and discuss work related to cryptography, coding, and information security. Authors are invited to submit papers by November 23, 2019 on topics including cryptographic protocols, privacy, authentication, quantum cryptography, and more. Selected papers will be published in related journals.
Blockchain is a growing list of records called blocks that are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. This design makes blockchains resistant to modification, as altering any block would require recalculating hashes for the entire chain. The blockchain is managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data.

Possible Areas of Implimention of Blockchain Technology in Libraries
Blockchain is a distributed ledger system that records transactions in blocks of data that are linked together via cryptography. Each participant maintains a copy of the ledger with all transactions. New transactions are distributed across the network, validated by consensus, and added to each participant's ledger in a new block. The use of cryptography makes the records immutable and resistant to hacking or modification (paragraph 1). Blockchains are composed of blocks of transactions, a chain that links blocks, and a peer-to-peer network of nodes that maintain the complete record (paragraph 2). Blockchain allows peers to transact without a central authority by reaching consensus on transactions and maintaining an identical record of the ledger through cryptography (paragraph 3).
This document discusses how blockchain technology can be used in retail businesses to benefit customers and retailers. It begins with an introduction to blockchain, explaining that blockchain is a distributed ledger that allows transactions to be verified and stored without cryptocurrency. It then discusses how blockchain works and the different types. The document explores some potential applications of blockchain in retail, such as for loyalty programs and supply chain management. It also briefly mentions some challenges of adopting blockchain.
Blockchain is a decentralized and distributed ledger system that allows multiple parties to securely record and store information in a transparent and tamper-resistant manner. It works by creating a chain of blocks, with each block containing a set of transactions. This chain is then distributed across a network of computers, making it nearly impossible to alter. Key features of blockchain include decentralization, transparency, immutability, and security. While applications include cryptocurrency, NFTs, and supply chain management, challenges remain around scalability, energy consumption, and potential security flaws from 51% attacks.

It begins with an overview of how blockchain works, including how it creates an electronic ledger of transactions distributed across multiple nodes, uses cryptography to validate transactions, and reaches consensus on new blocks. It then discusses how blockchain can help verify the authenticity of records but not their accuracy or reliability. The document explores potential uses of blockchain for private transactions and notes existing legal frameworks like UETA may cover many uses. It concludes by discussing public record implications and how blockchain could improve access and preservation but also raises costs and security issues requiring careful consideration.
Blockchain technology allows for a distributed ledger of transactions and digital events that is shared among participants in a network. It allows transactions to be verified through consensus, recorded immutably on the blockchain, and provides a verifiable record of all transactions. The document discusses how blockchain works through public and private networks and provides examples of applications in supply chain management, the Internet of Things, tracking origins of goods, and smart contracts. It also covers challenges and opportunities of adopting blockchain technology.

Application of Blockchain Technologies in Digital ForensicsMahdi_Fahmideh
This lecture, from course CIS8708-Digital Forensics (Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations), discusses the role of blockchain technologies in digital forensics investigation
Blockchain is a distributed ledger that records transactions in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system. It allows digital information to be recorded and distributed, but not copied. This makes blockchain secure and transparent. Blockchain uses cryptography to let users make transactions securely without needing central oversight. It has the potential to disrupt many industries by replacing intermediaries and cutting costs of transactions. Examples include financial services, digital asset transfers, and smart contracts that self-execute based on predefined rules and conditions.

Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...Paul Brebner
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.

Business uses for blockchain
1. An Introduction to Blockchain
& its Business Uses
Blockchain
smart contracts
A smart contract is a program
developed on blockchain which
automatically executes, controls or
documents legally relevant events,
transactions and actions according
to the terms of a contract
or an agreement.
Smart contracts are most effective
when parties have unequal oversight
of contractual fulfilment and when
using Internet of Things (IoT) data
e.g. sensors.

Blockchain key features
Accountability
Each block is
timestamped and
signed with the
author’s public
key – providing a
clear provenance.
Redundancy
Replicating the
ledger across nodes
removes a single
point of failure for
malicious actors.
Transparency
Data is distributed
across all nodes
and not held by a
privileged authority.
Integrity
Blockchain is
append-only.
Consensus
mechanisms guard
against false data.
‘Chaining’ blocks
together makes
tampering apparent.
Misconceptions
about Blockchain
1. Blockchain is cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency is one, albeit
the most famous application
of blockchain. Applications
exist beyond finance.
2. Blockchain is immutable
As an append-only ledger secured
by a consensus mechanism,
blockchain is almost immutable.
Data though, can be altered if a
malicious party takes over more
than half of a network’s nodes.
3. Blockchain is file storage
Blockchain is a distributed ledger
of electronic transactions/
interactions – it cannot store
conventional file types such
as PDFs, JPEGs etc.
4.
Blockchain guarantees the
truthfulness of information
Network members agree what
information should be added
to the ledger via a consensus
mechanism. This agreement does
not necessarily equate to the
truthfulness of information.
5.
There is one
Blockchain platform
There are multiple blockchain
platforms which differ in: use
cases, governance, and other
factors. Popular platforms include:
Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric
and R3 Corda.
What is Blockchain?
› Blockchain acts as a write-only ledger of electronic transactions/interactions
bundled into units called ‘blocks’. The blockchain ledger is not centrally stored
nor is it maintained by a single party. Rather, it is stored across multiple network
members (nodes) who each hold a copy of the ledger and contribute to it.
› Blocks are submitted by nodes for inclusion in the ledger and are permanently
recorded only after validity confirmation by a consensus mechanism. Upon
the successful inclusion of a new block, the ledger is updated and replicated
across all nodes.
› Each block includes a hash uniquely computed from its contents and the
previous block’s hash. Alterations to a previous block will invalidate the hashes
of all subsequent blocks (hence, blocks are ‘chained together’).
› Every block is time-stamped and ‘signed’ by its author through public key
cryptography. This creates a ‘digital footprint’ of activities.
