While the voter believes their vote was submitted successfully, the authority does not provide evidence that the vote was counted and tallied. In most cases, the anonymity of a voter is also not sure, as the voter's details are included in the ballot papers. Many voters consider this voting system untrustworthy and manipulative, discouraging them from voting, and consequently, an election loses a significant number of participants. Although the inclusion of electronic voting systems (EVS) has increased efficiency; however, it has raised concerns over security, legitimacy, and transparency. To mitigate these problems, blockchain technology has been leveraged and smart contract facilities with a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) to propose a remote voting system that makes the overall voting procedure transparent, semi-decentralized, and secure. In addition, a system that aids in boosting the number of turnouts in an election through an incentivization policy for the voters have also developed. Through the proposed virtual campaigning feature, the authority can generate a decent amount of revenue, which downsizes the overall cost of an election. To reduce the associated cost of transactions using smart contracts, this system implements a hybrid storage system where only a few cardinal data are stored in the blockchain network.","PeriodicalId":100650,"journal":{"name":"IET Blockchain","volume":"3 1","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/blc2.12021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50130380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inevitably, the explosively increasing number of SBSs each with ever-shrinking cell size will result in the spectrum scarcity and pose critical challenges to the spectrum management. Towards the centralized spectrum management system, a third-party authority is employed to coordinate the spectrum sensing, sharing, and allocation among participants. However, a centralized authority is vulnerable to numerous security threats, such as single point of failure, denial of service attacks, and privacy disclosure, and cannot guarantee fair and efficient spectrum management without mutual trusts among participants. To address these problems, a novel framework of blockchain-aided spectrum management is designed to securely record the spectrum auction data and spectrum allocation data in the decentralized spectrum sharing. Moreover, a trust management scheme is proposed to evaluate the trusts of all UAVs participating in the decentralized spectrum sharing, where the trust increase depends on legal use of spectrum allocation and honest report of spectrum sensing. In particular, it is shown that the proposed trust management can not only incentivize the UAVs to comply with the legal rule of spectrum sharing in blockchain, but also punish the malicious behaviour that either violates the spectrum sharing rule or provides misleading spectrum sensing results.","PeriodicalId":100650,"journal":{"name":"IET Blockchain","volume":"2 3-4","pages":"67-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/blc2.12018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83048462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bitcoin, as the first successful cryptocurrency, has accumulated numerous data after its existence. Here, the Bitcoin transaction graph from a graph theory perspective is investigated with more available data given now. This paper mainly focuses on the transaction graph and provides researchers with both practical and theoretical sides of the data. Several existent measurements and some newer ones are first computed and analysed. These measurements help to interpret the transaction graph more extensively. A new modified Buckley–Osthus random graph model is proposed, and a simulation of the Chung–Lu model is attempted to represent the Bitcoin transaction network. Some suggestions are given to improve the modified Buckley–Osthus model and point out the pros and cons of these random graph models. Moreover, the experiments show that scale-free networks are fundamentally not a good model for Bitcoin transaction networks considering all the data, but the mechanics of preferential attachment is crucial. How to proceed with Bitcoin transaction graph theory from both theoretical and experimental perspectives for future studies is also discussed and analysed.","PeriodicalId":100650,"journal":{"name":"IET Blockchain","volume":"2 3-4","pages":"57-66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/blc2.12016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75220088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, their anonymity has often been compromised by deanonymization attacks. To counter this, mixing services have been introduced. While they enhance privacy, they obscure fund traceability. This study seeks to demystify transactions linked to these services, shedding light on pathways of concealed and laundered money. We propose a method to identify and classify transactions and addresses of major mixing services in Bitcoin. Unlike previous research focusing on older techniques like CoinJoin, we emphasize modern mixing services. We gathered labelled data by transacting with three prominent mixers (MixTum, Blemder, and CryptoMixer) and identified recurring patterns. Using these patterns, an algorithm was created to pinpoint mixing transactions and distinguish mixer‐related addresses.The algorithm achieved a remarkable recall rate of 100%. Given the lack of clear ground truth and the vast number of unlabelled transactions, ensuring accuracy was a challenge. However, by analyzing a set of non‐mixing transactions with our model, it was confirmed that the high recall rate was not misleading. This work provides a significant advancement in monitoring mixing transactions, presenting a valuable tool against fraud and money laundering in cryptocurrency networks.","PeriodicalId":100650,"journal":{"name":"IET Blockchain","volume":"20 1","pages":"136-148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86823761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blockchains are being used as an enabling technology for decentralised applications in the areas of Internet-of-Things, finance, supply-chain and others. Consistency, data privacy, performance, and energy efficiency are of paramount importance in such applications. The full nodes of public, permissionless blockchains undertake the task of verifying the transactions generated by the network. Full nodes perform operations such as confirming balances, transactions, and history, i.e. mostly database search queries. Consequently, their throughput is crucial for the performance of blockchain systems. In this work, the benefits of accelerating the blockchain search and insert queries by leveraging GPU platforms are studied. An extensive comparison between the most dominant utilized database is provided, i.e. LevelDB, and MegaKV, a high-performance GPU-accelerated database. Realistic operations that take place in blockchain systems are emulated and evaluated over representative scenarios, showing three orders of magnitude gains in throughput and energy efficiency without compromising the security aspect. The extensive comparison between LevelDB and MegaKV indicates that GPU acceleration is an effective solution for runtime and energy efficiency enhancement of blockchain systems, and the integration of the two technologies is a promising field of research.","PeriodicalId":100650,"journal":{"name":"IET Blockchain","volume":"2 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/blc2.12011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89365899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
