A review of Smart Contract Blockchain Based on Multi-Criteria Analysis: Challenges and Motivations
A smart contract is a digital program of transaction protocol (rules of
contract) based on the consensus architecture of blockchain. Smart contracts
with Blockchain are modern technologies that have gained enormous attention in
scientific and practical applications. A smart contract is the central aspect
of a blockchain that facilitates blockchain as a platform outside the
cryptocurrency spectrum. The development of blockchain technology, with a focus
on smart contracts, has advanced significantly in recent years. However
research on the smart contract idea has weaknesses in the implementation
sectors based on a decentralized network that shares an identical state. This
paper extensively reviews smart contracts based on multi criteria analysis
challenges and motivations. Therefore, implementing blockchain in
multi-criteria research is required to increase the efficiency of interaction
between users via supporting information exchange with high trust. Implementing
blockchain in the multi-criteria analysis is necessary to increase the
efficiency of interaction between users via supporting information exchange and
with high confidence, detecting malfunctioning, helping users with performance
issues, reaching a consensus, deploying distributed solutions and allocating
plans, tasks and joint missions. The smart contract with decision-making
performance, planning and execution improves the implementation based on
efficiency, sustainability and management.
Furthermore the uncertainty and supply chain performance lead to improved
users confidence in offering new solutions in exchange for problems in smart
contacts. Evaluation includes code analysis and performance while development
performance can be under development.Comment: Revie
Suitability of adopting S/MIME and OpenPGP email messages protocol to secure electronic medical records
Security of Electronic medical records is one of the everyday concerns to the decision makers, governmental agencies, researchers and medical centres. Several funding agencies spend thousands or millions dollars to initiate new project aims to preserve the privacy of the patients and maintain the confidentiality of the EMR, the results of these projects developed several EMR security solutions. However, there are several (well-designed and standardized) security solutions developed for other applications such OpenPGP and S/MIME protocols that were originally developed for Email. OpenPGP and S/MIME protocols employ different architecture and algorithms to secure the email transmission. In this paper, a systematic review and analysis of both protocols OpenPGP and S/MIME is done. The result of analysis depicted that, the adoption of both protocols is applicable. In addition some suggestions are proposed to integrate different medical centres in order to achieve secure message exchange
Secure PIN-Entry Method Using One-Time PIN (OTP)
The regular PIN-entry method has been still the most common method of authentication for systems and networks. However, PINs are easy to be captured through various attacks, including shoulder-surfing, video-recording, and spyware. This could be attributed to the involuntary nature of entering the original PIN during authentication. In this paper, we employ an indirect input method that utilizes the addition mod 10 and a mini-challenge keypad in order to produce a one-time PIN (OTP) that obscures the original PIN. The results of our user study manifest that the proposed PIN-entry method provides better security than the existing PIN-entry methods while maintaining an acceptable level of usability. Moreover, the user feedback fully support the use of the proposed PIN-entry method in critical-security situations
