Secure, Privacy-Preserving, and Resource-Aware Blockchain for Interdependent Smart City
Embedded Files
Research Thrust Summary
The research thrust focuses on developing a secure, privacy-preserving, and resource-aware blockchain framework for interdependent smart cities. In smart city environments, various interconnected systems rely on data sharing and collaboration, making security and privacy crucial concerns. The proposed blockchain solution aims to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data while optimizing resource utilization. By leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques and distributed consensus mechanisms, the framework will provide a trustworthy platform for secure transactions and data exchange. Additionally, resource-awareness will enable efficient utilization of computing resources, addressing the scalability challenges associated with blockchain technology. The research project aims to contribute to the development of sustainable and resilient smart city infrastructures by enabling secure and privacy-preserving interconnectivity between diverse systems.
