TL;DR: The current IoT architecture, IoT security threats, brief about blockchain, and correlation of major blockchain innovations that can be coordinated with IoT gadgets are discussed and an Ethereum-based IoT architecture for low-power IoT devices is proposed.

TL;DR: A fine-grained access control scheme based on blockchain technology named SFAC, which can not only solve the problem of centralization, but also allow users to request resources in batches, and uses token mechanism to facilitate users’ requests.

TL;DR: A novel model for issuing and verifying academic information using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) supported by blockchain technologies, focused on compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Abstract: Three years ago, I read Michael Polanyi's contribution—as a philosopher—to a symposium entitled Scientific Outlook: Its Sickness and Cure . In a brilliant, penetrating, and delightfully humorous criticism of R. W. Gerard's 1 biological contribution, he unerringly diagnosed the sickness of medicine: The fact that a so learned, ingenious and imaginative survey of living beings should deal so perfunctorily with some of the most important questions concerning them shows a fundamental deficiency of human thinking.... If a rat laps up a solution of saccharine, the rational explanation of this lies in the act that the solution tastes sweet and that the rat likes that. The tasting and liking are facts that physics and chemistry as known today cannot explain. Nothing is relevant to biology, even at the lowest level of life, unless it bears on the achievements of living beings... and distinctions unknown to physics and chemistry... The current idea of

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to give a comprehensive introduction to applied cryptography with an engineer or computer scientist in mind on the knowledge needed to create practical systems which supports integrity, confidentiality, or authenticity.

TL;DR: The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) as the first step of the internal re-engineering of business processes to electronic commerce is discussed in this article, where a cost-justification model and an extensive list of business documents that are today's biggest EDI hitters are presented.
