“…To obtain the results, MATLAB tool will be used to configure and simulate the WSN described in section 3. It use the well-known Leach algorithm [ 34 , 35 ] to coordinate and maintain the network block structure and determine routing strategies. To perform the MATLAB WSN model, the results obtained from the synthesis and implementation of the dedicated circuit using the FPGA will be introduced to MATLAB WSN model.…”

“…Compared to the systems presented in the States of the Art section, our proposal offers several advantages. This way, regarding [ 35 ], where the researchers use public and the private key with a high energy consumption associated with the encryption and decryption processes and a transaction validation process performed in the master node, our approach solved this challenge by proposing a dedicated electrical circuit for the purpose of compressing and encrypting data simultaneously to reduce complexity and energy consumption. As for the choice of cluster head, it is conducted by the remaining energy, a solution presented by the researchers to improve energy consumption.…”

Nowadays, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are widely used for collecting, communicating, and sharing information in various applications. Due to its limited resources in terms of computation, power, battery lifetime, and memory storage for sensor nodes, it is difficult to add confidentiality and integrity security features. It is worth noting that blockchain (BC) technology is one of the most promising technologies, because it provides security, avoids centralization, and a trusted third party. However, to apply BCs in WSNs is not an easy task because BC is typically resource-hungry for energy, computation, and memory. In this paper, the additional complication of adding BC in WSNs is compensated by an energy minimization strategy, which basically depends on minimizing the processing load of generating the blockchain hash value, and encrypting and compressing the data that travel from the cluster-heads to the base station to reduce the overall traffic, leading to reduced energy per node. A specific (dedicated) circuit is designed to implement the compression technique, generate the blockchain hash values and data encryption. The compression algorithm is based on chaotic theory. A comparison of the power consumed by a WSN using a blockchain implementation with and without the dedicated circuit, illustrates that the hardware design contributes considerably to reduce the consumption of power. When simulating both approaches, the energy consumed when replacing functions by hardware decreases up to 63%.

“…Blockchain technology has been adopted for many different fields in which there is a need to exchange some valuable assets. Most notably, there are blockchain-based solution proposed for smart grids [ 156 , 157 ], healthcare and telemedicine [ 158 ], smart insurance [ 159 ], vehicular energy networks [ 160 ], databases [ 158 , 161 ], cloud computing [ 162 ], software-defined networks [ 163 ], wireless sensor networks [ 164 ], trading energy contracts [ 165 ] and livestream video transmissions [ 166 ]. Some of these solutions use existing implementations of public blockchains, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, and some use their own systems.…”

[Context] The goal of security is to protect digital assets, devices, and services from being disrupted, exploited or stolen by unauthorized users. It is also about having reliable information available at the right time. [Motivation] Since the inception in 2009 of the first cryptocurrency, few studies have been undertaken to analyze and review the state-of-the-art research and current developments with respect to the security of cryptocurrencies. [Purpose] We aim to provide both theoretical and empirical insights into the security landscape, in particular focusing on both technical solutions and human-related facets. [Methodology] We used an integrative review which could help in building science and scholarly research, the basis for conceptual and empirical models. [Results] Successful defense against cyberattacks depends on technical measures on the one hand, as well as on self-education and training with the aim to develop competence, knowledge, skills and social abilities, on the other. [Contribution] Our findings provide a comprehensive review for the major achievements and developments of the recent progress on the security of cryptocurrencies. [Future research] Since there is increasing interest in adoption of the current solutions within the central bank digital currencies, the future research should explore the development and inception of effective measures against social engineering attacks, which still remain the main concern.

In a world where energy is as precious as the finest diamonds, and the quest for sustainable living is akin to a high-stakes spy game, a new era of energy prosumers emerges from the shadows. This tale unfolds in the quiet corners of ordinary neighborhoods, where unsuspecting homeowners hold the key to a revolution in the energy sector. Our protagonists are private clients, each equipped differently in this energy escapade: some with no photovoltaics (PV) or stationary batteries, others with either PV or batteries, and a few with both, harnessing the sun’s power and the might of modern storage. Like a mastermind plotting in a secret lair, Artificial Intelligence (AI) enters the scene. It’s the unseen hero, working tirelessly to analyze, predict, and optimize. AI, with its intricate web of algorithms, becomes the brain behind the operation, determining the most efficient use of energy, managing storage, and turning every joule of electricity into a strategic asset. But what’s a thriller without a twist? Enter blockchain, the enigmatic and unbreakable technology, ensuring every energy transaction is secure, transparent, and immutable. In this world, blockchain isn’t just a ledger; it’s the trusty sidekick, the keeper of secrets, ensuring that every peer-to-peer energy exchange is a discreet affair, away from prying eyes. Our narrative takes a deeper dive in the ’Implementation’ chapter, a dossier of technical know-how and cunning strategies. Here, the AI and blockchain technologies are not just concepts but active agents in a grander scheme, integrated with PV systems and batteries. They’re not just tools; they’re characters in this play, each with a role, each with a purpose. As the plot thickens, we see the dance of electrons, the exchange of watts and volts, in a marketplace that’s as dynamic as the stock exchange. Homeowners, once mere spectators, are now key players in this game of energy and power. This paper isn’t just a collection of data and theories. It’s a narrative of change, a story of a future where every home is a powerhouse, every homeowner a prosumer. It’s a tale of technology and humanity converging to rewrite the script of energy consumption and production. So, dear reader, brace yourself for a journey into the heart of the energy sector, where AI and blockchain are not just the heroes but the harbingers of a new era. Welcome to the thrilling world of sustainable energy, where every decision, every watt, every battery, tells a story
