“…The consequent step is to filter the points to the ones between −30 and +160 degrees. Equation (5) returns the degree between the first point of the defect area and the center of the contour, and Equation ( 6) calculates the Euclidean distance-the vector length-between the first and the middle points. The whole process from finding the hand contour to detecting the palm hand and fingertips is illustrated in Figure 5.…”

Online polling, survey systems, ticket bookings, and e-commerce platforms are the main targets of the bots [5].…”

To achieve an acceptable level of security on the web, the Completely Automatic Public Turing test to tell Computer and Human Apart (CAPTCHA) was introduced as a tool to prevent bots from doing destructive actions such as downloading or signing up. Smartphones have small screens, and, therefore, using the common CAPTCHA methods (e.g., text CAPTCHAs) in these devices raises usability issues. To introduce a reliable, secure, and usable CAPTCHA that is suitable for smartphones, this paper introduces a hand gesture recognition CAPTCHA based on applying genetic algorithm (GA) principles on Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP). The proposed method improves the performance of MLP-based hand gesture recognition. It has been trained and evaluated on 2201 videos of the IPN Hand dataset, and MSE and RMSE benchmarks report index values of 0.0018 and 0.0424, respectively. A comparison with the related works shows a minimum of 1.79% fewer errors, and experiments produced a sensitivity of 93.42% and accuracy of 92.27–10.25% and 6.65% improvement compared to the MLP implementation. The range of the supported hand gestures can be a limit for the application of this research as a limited range may result in a vulnerable CAPTCHA. Also, the processes of training and testing require significant computational resources. In the future, we will optimize the method to run with high reliability in various illumination conditions and skin color and tone. The next development plan is to use augmented reality and create unpredictable random patterns to enhance the security of the method.

Digital wallet as a software program or a digital device allows users to conduct various transactions. Hot and cold digital wallets are considered as two types of this wallet. Digital wallets need an online connection fall into the first group, whereas digital wallets can operate without internet connection belong to the second group. Prior to buying a digital wallet, it is important to define for what purpose it will be utilized. The ease with which a mobile phone transaction may be completed in a couple of seconds and the speed with which transactions are executed are reflection of efficiency. One of the most important elements of digital wallets is data organization. Digital wallets are significantly less expensive than classic methods of transaction, which entails various charges and fees. Constantly, demand for their usage is growing due to speed, security, and the ability to conduct transactions between two users without the need of a third party. As the popularity of digital currency wallets grows, the number of security concerns impacting them increases significantly. The current status of digital wallets on the market, as well as the options for an efficient solution for obtaining and utilizing digital wallets. Finally, the digital wallets' security and future improvement prospects are discussed in this chapter.

“…In[66], several types of attacks on blockchain such as hash-based attack, centralization attack, traffic attack, network level attack, injection attack, integrity attack, and private key leakage attack are discussed. It is necessary to mitigate such threats and prevent fraudulent use or disclosure of sensitive voter data without authorization[67,68].3.Scalability: As the number of participants and transactions increases, it becomes crucial to maintain high performance and throughput. The inherent characteristics of blockchain, such as the need for consensus among distributed nodes and the necessity of storing every transaction on the blockchain, present scalability challenges.…”

The employment of blockchain technology in electronic voting (e-voting) systems is attracting significant attention due to its ability to enhance transparency, security, and integrity in digital voting. This study presents an extensive review of the existing research on e-voting systems that rely on blockchain technology. The study investigates a range of key research concerns, including the benefits, challenges, and impacts of such systems, together with technologies and implementations, and an identification of future directions of research in this domain. We use a hybrid review approach, applying systematic literature review principles to select and categorize scientific papers and reviewing the technology used in these in terms of the above key concerns. In the 252 selected papers, aspects such as security, transparency, and decentralization are frequently emphasized as the main benefits. In contrast, although aspects like privacy, verifiability, efficiency, trustworthiness, and auditability receive significant attention, they are not the primary focus. We observed a relative lack of emphasis on aspects such as accessibility, compatibility, availability, and usability in the reviewed literature. These aspects, although acknowledged, are not as thoroughly discussed as the aforementioned key benefits in the proposed solutions for blockchain-based e-voting systems, whereas the considered studies have proposed well-structured solutions for blockchain-based e-voting systems focusing on how blockchain can strengthen security, transparency, and privacy, in particular, the crucial aspect of scalability needs attention.
