Formalizing and Securing Relationships on Public Networks

TL;DR: This contribution intends to clarify where the irreversability of blockchain-based transactions does – against all odds – not make a difference compared to traditional contract law solutions, but also determines where legal conflicts indeed may arise from Smart Contracts and mistake.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a distributed architecture for stakeholders to register transactions over a vehicle's life cycle in a blockchain network, which involves a non-fungible token (NFT) linked to a physical motorized vehicle after a tokenization process.

TL;DR: This paper presents a secure and trusted Fog Computing approach based on Blockchain and Identity Federation technologies for a granular access control in IoT environments that uses Smart Contract concept and Attribute-Based Access Control model to ensure the level of security and scalability required for data integrity without resorting to a central authority to make an access decision.

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.
