“…By doing so, the Tangle can be synchronized between execution nodes to coordinate the execution of computations across cloud and edge environments, and thus, ensure to fulfill application demands. Further application domains which might benefit from such concept include distributed database systems, or distributed chat applications like Scuttlebutt [25,37]. We briefly discuss the potentials of the future work on Tangle Function Networking (TFN) -an extension of TCN supporting the coordination of computation state across multiple execution nodes in a distributed and transparent fashion.…”

Today's Internet is heavily used for multimedia streaming from cloud backends, while the Internet of Things (IoT) reverses the traditional data flow, with high data volumes produced at the network edge. Information Centric Networking (ICN) advocates against a host-centric communication model which is promising for distributed edge computing environments and the execution of IoT applications in a decentralized fashion. By using naming schemes, data is tightly coupled to names instead of hosts which simplifies discovery and access to data and services. However, the tight coupling challenges network performance due to additional synchronization overhead of large data volumes and services.We present Tangle Centric Networking (TCN) -a decentralized data structure for coordinated distributed applications and data exchange following principles of ICN. TCN can react on data and service changes and update them accordingly in network nodes, provide distributed data structures and enable cooperative work on the same data without huge overhead by using Tangles for coordination. We implemented TCN in simulations and evaluated the concept against a base line scenario.

“…The past few years have seen a significant rise in the number of cyber attacks across the world. With the increased digitization of business processes, home automation [12], connected cities [13] and the rise of remote work, cyber criminals have found new and sophisticated ways to exploit vulnerabilities in computer networks, computer systems and humans. From phishing scams and ransomware attacks to data breaches and identity theft, cyber attacks have become a major concern for businesses, governments, and individuals alike.…”

With the rising number of cyberattacks, such as ransomware attacks and cyber espionage, educating non-cybersecurity professionals to recognize threats has become more important than ever before. However, traditional training methods, such as phishing awareness campaigns, training videos and assessments have proven to be less effective over time. Therefore, it is time to rethink the approach on how to train cyber awareness. In this paper we suggest an alternative approach – a serious game – to educate awareness for common cyberattacks. While many serious games for cybersecurity education exist, all follow a very similar approach: showing people the effects of a cyber attack on their own system or company network. For example, one of the main tasks in these games is to sort out phishing mails. We developed and evaluated a new type of cybersecurity game: an attack simulator, which shows the entire setting from a different perspective. Instead of sorting out phishing mails the players should write phishing mails to trick potential victims and use other forms of cyberattacks. Our game explains the intention of each attack and shows the consequences of a successful attack. This way, we hope, players will get a better understanding on how to detect cyberattacks.
