Blockchain from the security perspective: a scoping review

Abstract

Blockchain technology is a prominent that gained a lot of attention from both industrial and research prospectives. Blockchain system is a decentralized and transparent network, which provides a secure platform for transactions. This scoping review aimed to investigate blockchain technology from a security perspective. The motivation for this review stems from the technology's growing importance across industries and the imperative to address security challenges for sustained adoption and success. This review proposes the security analysis of blockchain with the solution for these security issues, besides the blockchain adoption in various sectors as a solution to ensure security. The findings underscore the imperative for further investigation to formulate solutions for security challenges, whether within blockchain networks themselves or when integrating them into other networks. Additionally, considering the existing research gaps in this field, potential research directions for future exploration are recommended for scholars.
