“…As an open-source platform, it is already being code reviewed by the community, and thus it is one of the most secure platforms to run smart contracts on [23][24][25]. It is worth mentioning that all the software modules require core development principles, such as security in depth, unit testing, pre-and post-condition sanity checks, code consistency, and regular audits [26][27][28].…”

“…Considering the adoption level of solar energy, it might be recommended for the small producers to make use of any additional income source, such as SolarCoin. Being based on blockchain technology [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], SolarCoin is global and decentralized, similar in many ways to cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin, but more efficient and environmentally friendly [32][33][34]. SolarCoin stands out because, Sustainability 2020, 12, 1540 3 of 30 unlike other types of cryptocurrency, it ensures contribution to an economically and environmentally beneficial activity by vertically produced solar energy [35][36][37].…”

Traditionally, the energy industry has been slow in adopting new disruptive technologies and the transition to a new energy market will require a new digital transformation plan, involving all parties from the energy market. Although it now seems to be an impossible and hard-to-accept scenario, especially by the big players in the industry, the pilot projects so far demonstrate that blockchain can play a major role in the future energy market, even if the technology is still in the first stages of the adoption life cycle. This article attempts to describe a solution to provide alternative irrigation systems for small farmers. The solution involves creating associations of small farmers that will use green energy from photovoltaic panels for the irrigation of agricultural lands. The efficiency of the proposed system can be monitored not only through digital hardware connected to photovoltaic panels and water pumps, but also by using the new blockchain technology that stimulates innovation and growth in the energy and a high level of automation though smart contracts. To accelerate the transition to the green energy economy, a SolarCoin version similar to the Bitcoin cryptocurrency has also been proposed, which is a utility token that creates new possibilities for energy and water trading.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1540 2 of 30 photovoltaic panels can still be used at high capacity to supplement the energy required to run the farm [4,12,13].Photovoltaic systems are ideal in isolated areas that do not have access to the national energy system. Below, the most important advantages of applying the photovoltaic systems in agriculture have been listed [14-16]:

As the number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices increases, services expand and illegal hacking and infringement methods become more sophisticated, an effective solution for blockchain technology is required as a fundamental solution to security threats. In this paper, we develop the security module of an IoT device based on blockchain technology that blocks hacking and information infringement and forms a multi-security blockchain system between the IoT device and the user device and we develop a user application. We contribute to addressing the security threats faced by IoT application services by developing a new method. In particular, we present some schemes for the development of a multi-security certification system based on blockchain for IoT security.

“…Data is a strategic business resource that dictates the deployment of suitable sharing models that can offer traceability, integrity and security aspects throughout data's whole life-cycle. The use of Blockchain (BC) technology as a distributed platform for data management purposes has slowly emerged in the literature as a way to not only support transaction execution in several SC processes, but equally to verify the correctness and traceability of data [9], [10], [11].…”

Traditional centralised data storage and processing solutions manifest limitations with regards to overall operational cost and the security and auditability of data. One of the biggest issues with existing solutions is the difficulty of keeping track of who has had access to the data and how the data may have changed over its lifetime; while providing a secure and easyto-use mechanism to share the data between different users. The ability to electronically regulate data sharing within and across different organisational entities in the supply-chain (SC), is an open issue, that is only addressed partially by existing legal and regulatory compliance frameworks. In this work, we present Cydon, a decentralised data management platform that executes bespoke distributed applications utilising a novel search and retrieve algorithm leveraging metadata attributes. Cydon utilises a smart distributed ledger to offer an immutable audit trail and transaction history for all different levels of data access and modification within a SC and for all data flows within the environment. Results suggest that Cydon provides authorised and fast access to secure distributed data, avoids single points of failure by securely distributing encrypted data across different nodes while maintains an "always-on" chain of custody.
