*Special Issue on Blockchain and Secure Critical Infrastructure
(BSCI)*
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/blockchain-research-and-applications/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-blockchain-and-secure-critical-infrastructu
In this special issue, we seek to explore how we can utilize
blockchain
techniques to secure our nation’s critical infrastructure, by
facilitating
an open dialogue and serving as a platform to solicit and publish
state-of-the-art advances from academia, industry, and government.
This
special issue is also associated with The Third ACM International
Symposium
on Blockchain and Secure Critical Infrastructure (BSCI 2021),
which is held
in conjunction with The 16th ACM ASIA Conference on Computer and
Communications Security (ACM ASIACCS 2021).
Topic of interest include, but not limited to:
· Attacks / vulnerabilities of existing blockchain-based
approaches
in critical infrastructure
· Blockchain applications in 6G networks
· Challenges associated with the implementation of
blockchain-based
solutions in critical infrastructure (e.g., architecture,
functionality,
workflows, availability, scalability, security, privacy)
· Cryptographic primitives, including post-quantum primitives, for
blockchain
· Impact on business models (change of existing business models,
emergence of new business models, disruptive business models,
etc.)
· Smart contracts in intelligent control systems
· Security and privacy challenges associated with applications of
blockchain in critical infrastructure
· Future applications of blockchain in critical infrastructure
(e.g., finance, insurance, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, energy
sector,
education, transportation, media production, and government)
Articles that provide a comprehensive review and critique of
blockchain
applications in critical infrastructure are also welcome.
