Secure Heterogeneous Communication Environment Using Blockchain

Abstract

The globalisation that has occurred in the contemporary world has had a significant impact on the communication networks. When it comes to communication, most of the time closed and centralised methods are used, which might sometimes lead to privacy issues. The related systems are not capable of meeting the requirements for the information security components of integrity and openness. "Community research applications" is one example of this kind of framework. Existing communication frameworks for community
interactions rely on the credibility of intermediate organisations, such as a central authority server, in order to function well. It is thought to be vulnerable to an assault that targets a single point of failure. It is possible that things may become much worse, since the relevant authorities may not be aware of any internal unrest that may be occurring. As a result of this, it is strongly advised that a framework for community engagement that is based on blockchain technology be designed. In this study, we present a secure communication architecture for community interactions that is built on blockchain technology. The technique of blockchain was included into the framework that was suggested, and it was realised using a distributed ledger that was tamper-proof.
