Abstract The rapid growth of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) has impacted many fields. In this context, the supply chain has also quickly evolved toward the digital supply chain where digital and electronic technologies have been integrated into every aspect of its end-to-end process. This evolution provides numerous beneits such as proit maximization, loss reduction, and the optimization of supply chain lead times. However, the use of such technologies has also considerably opened up various security threats and risks which have widened the attack surface on the entire end-to-end supply chain.

Abstract Fake check scam is one of the most common attacks used to commit fraud against consumers. This fraud is particularly costly for victims because they generally lose thousands of dollars as well as being exposed to judicial proceedings. Currently, there is no existing solution to authenticate checks and detect fake ones instantly. Instead, banks must wait for a period of more than 48 h to detect the scam. In this context, we propose a blockchain-based scheme to authenticate checks and detect fake check scams.

Abstract Over the last few years, the explosive growth of Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized the way we live and interact with each other as well as with various types of systems and devices which form part of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. IoT is having a significant impact on various application domains including healthcare, smart home, transportation, energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and many others. We focus on the smart home environment which has attracted a lot of attention from both academia and industry recently.

In IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems

Abstract In the context of current smart cities, Cooperative Intelligent Transportation Systems (C-ITS) represent one of the main use case scenarios that aim to improve peoples? daily lives. Thus, during the last few years, numerous standards have been adopted to regulate such networks. Within a C-ITS, a large number of messages are exchanged continuously in order to ensure that the different applications operate efficiently. However, these networks can be the target of numerous attacks.

A blockchain-based certificate revocation management and status verification system

By Elloh Adja, Badis Hammi, Ahmed Serhrouchni, Sherali Zeadally

In Computers & Security

Abstract Revocation management is one of the main tasks of the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). It is also critical to the security of any PKI. As a result of the increase in the number and sizes of networks as well as the adoption of novel paradigms such as the Internet of Things and their usage of the web, current revocation mechanisms are vulnerable to single point of failures as the network loads increase.
