Abstract
New developments of blockchain designs, for both research and commercial environments, focus on improving security and energy consumption. Indeed, these implementations are based on managing a single type of information linked to a single blockchain. In this paper, we propose a new design called NestedChain. This proposal creates a system that allows two completely different types of information to be held in the same physical structure, enabling the creation of a blockchain within a blockchain. The new blockchain design can be implemented in various environments where it is necessary to have two different and parallel sets of information in the same network infrastructure. This new conception of blockchain offers a new way to understand the limitations of existing implementations and suggests how the evolution of the blockchain environment could be enhanced.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Telecommunications is an international journal publishing original peer-reviewed papers in the field of telecommunications. It covers all the essential branches of modern telecommunications, ranging from digital communications to communication networks and the internet, to software, protocols and services, uses and economics. This large spectrum of topics accounts for the rapid convergence through telecommunications of the underlying technologies in computers, communications, content management towards the emergence of the information and knowledge society. As a consequence, the Journal provides a medium for exchanging research results and technological achievements accomplished by the European and international scientific community from academia and industry.
