Blockchain based Secure Erlang Server for Request based Group Communication over XMPP

Abstract

Many real world activities in computer science scenarios are linked with concurrency and security related issues and have to handle large number of processes to be executed in parallel with false safe security solutions. There are many traditional methods in programming languages to handle concurrency. Concurrency is one of the major issues that need to be addressed by most of the servers when dealing with the group communication operations. Security of the data as well as the credibility of the users are the other aspects when a group of users involve in real-time communication. Many light-weighted servers are designed to carryout elementary operations of request handling, file sharing etc. In design of such servers having large number of clients, the request service handling will be based on the individual server programs. Keeping track of individual credibility and establishing concurrency solutions in server design is challenging. The whole work describes the significance and implementation of an Erlang based XMPP server in comparison with a Python based XMPP server with a view to service the client request handling operations for sending messages, group chatting, buddy-list creation, presence identification integrated with XML messaging pattern as per the XMPP protocol. We also accomplish the security and credibility of the users using a blockchain based interface that keep track of user activities during group communication. The security analysis is also performed for blockchain based interface.
