Critical infrastructure sectors are increasingly adopting enterprise Distributed Ledgers (DL) to host long-term assets, systems, and information that is considered vital to an organization’s ability to operate without clear or public plans and strategies to migrate safely and timely to Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC). A quantum computer (QC) compromised DL would allow, eavesdropping, unauthorized client authentication, signed malware, cloak-in encrypted session, a man-in-the-middle attack (MITM), forged documents and emails. These attacks can lead to disruption of service, damage of reputation and trust, injury to human life, and the loss of intellectual property, assets, regulated data, and global economic security. In 2018, Gartner revealed that a QC is a digital disruption that organizations may not be ready and prepared, and CIOs may not see coming. On September 18, 2019, IBM announced the largest universal QC available for commercial use would be available in October 2019. On October 23, 2019, Google officially announced “Quantum Supremacy,” “by performing a calculation in 200 seconds that would take a classical supercomputer approximately 10,000 years.” DL Cyber Resilience requires “reasonable” measures, policies, procedures, strategies, and risk management before large-scale deployment. Cyber Resilience implementations must be a critical component during the design and building phase, or during the initialization phase. The most significant existing attack vectors for enterprise DLs is the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), which is fundamental in securing the Internet and enterprise DLs and is a core component of authentication, data confidentiality, and data and system integrity [1] [2]. Effectively implementing and managing a quantum-resistant PKI solution requires adherence to PKI standards, industry requirements, potential government mandates, certificate management policies, training personnel, and data recovery policies that currently do not exist. This research discusses security risks in enterprise DL PKI, areas that can be compromised, and provides an idea of what should be in a PKI DL Risk Management Framework plan.
关键基础设施部门越来越多地采用企业分布式账本(DL)来托管长期资产、系统和信息,这些资产、系统和信息被认为对组织在没有明确或公开计划和战略的情况下安全、及时地迁移到后量子加密(PQC)的运营能力至关重要。量子计算机(QC)受损的DL将允许窃听、未经授权的客户端身份验证、签名恶意软件、隐形加密会话、中间人攻击(MITM)、伪造文件和电子邮件。这些攻击可能导致服务中断、声誉和信任受损、人身伤害,以及知识产权、资产、受监管数据和全球经济安全的损失。2018年,Gartner透露,QC是一种数字化颠覆,组织可能没有准备好,首席信息官可能没有看到它的到来。2019年9月18日,IBM宣布将于2019年10月推出可用于商业用途的最大通用QC。2019年10月23日,谷歌正式宣布了“量子霸权”,“通过在200秒内完成经典超级计算机大约需要1万年的计算”。DL网络弹性在大规模部署之前需要“合理”的措施、政策、程序、策略和风险管理。在设计和构建阶段,或者在初始化阶段,网络弹性实现必须是一个关键组件。目前针对企业dl的最重要的攻击载体是公钥基础设施(PKI),它是保护Internet和企业dl的基础,也是身份验证、数据机密性、数据和系统完整性[1][2]的核心组件。有效地实施和管理抗量子PKI解决方案需要遵守PKI标准、行业需求、潜在的政府命令、证书管理策略、培训人员和数据恢复策略,而这些目前还不存在。本研究讨论了企业DL PKI中的安全风险,可能受到损害的领域,并提供了PKI DL风险管理框架计划中应该包含的内容。

What is in It for Me? Identifying Drivers of Blockchain Acceptance among German Consumers 这对我有什么好处?确定德国消费者接受区块链的驱动因素

From a consumers’ perspective, Blockchain Technology (BCT) holds the potential to decrease transaction costs, improve privacy and redesign social interactions, which potentially leads to enhanced consumer power in transactional relationships. Nevertheless, only a few consumers use Blockchain-based applications consciously. By combining earlier research about BCT acceptance with different conceptualisations in the technology acceptance field (i.e. the Technology Acceptance Model and Rogers’ Diffusion Theory), a Blockchain-specific model to explain the usage intention has been developed and validated by conducting an online survey among 157 German consumers. While most of them have recognised the technology’s existence and confirmed its general relevance, many consumers do not know how to access and profit from BCT. Integrating the results of a Structural Equation Model and Pairwise Comparisons between typical attributes of Blockchain-based applications, specific beliefs about BCT usage are found to have a remarkable impact on consumers’ acceptance. Based on the results, strategies to promote the acceptance of BCT among consumers are discussed from a marketer’s, developer’s and researcher’s point of view.
从消费者的角度来看,区块链技术(BCT)具有降低交易成本、改善隐私和重新设计社交互动的潜力,这可能会增强交易关系中的消费者权力。然而,只有少数消费者有意识地使用基于区块链的应用程序。通过将早期关于BCT接受度的研究与技术接受领域的不同概念(即技术接受模型和罗杰斯的扩散理论)相结合,开发了一个特定于区块链的模型来解释使用意图,并通过对157名德国消费者进行在线调查来验证。虽然他们中的大多数人已经认识到这项技术的存在,并确认了它的普遍相关性,但许多消费者不知道如何获取和从中获利。整合结构方程模型的结果和基于区块链的应用程序典型属性之间的两两比较,发现关于BCT使用的特定信念对消费者的接受程度有显着影响。在此基础上,从营销人员、开发人员和研究人员的角度探讨了促进消费者接受BCT的策略。

A Blockchain Infrastructure for Transportation in Low Income Country Cities, and Beyond 低收入国家城市及其他地区的交通区块链基础设施
Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2019-09-05 DOI: 10.31585/jbba-2-2-(7)2019

For our cities of tomorrow, it is essential that transport is organised in an efficient, resilient and equitable way; enabling economic growth, social cohesion and minimising environmental impact, including Climate Change. In cities across the world, new flexible, sharing economy services are blurring the lines between private and public transportation. However, these new transport modes are creating a “digital divide” and lack the integration and co-ordination between other services. This is needed to create seamless and sustainable travel options for people, including those belonging to vulnerable groups.This exploratory paper examines the potential for Blockchain to play a pivotal role in addressing increasing congestion and pollution in growing cities of developing countries. It draws on preliminary research into the role of Automatic Fare Collection systems and related mobility market dynamics and trends in the cities of Cape Town, South Africa and Dehli, India. A case is made for a global and universal blockchain infrastructure, for the sharing of data on movement and assets, designed with low income economies and vulnerable groups in mind. It would enable:• users access to different modes of transport in an equitable and hassle-free way,• assurance to transport operators on surety of payment,• cities with integrated solutions for tackling congestion and targeting subsidies. In wealthier countries Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is a new business model that integrates public and private services together. Its level of adoption could be limited without a supporting blockchain infrastructure.By creating viable new digital infrastructure for Low Income Country Cities (LICCs), who have less incumbent legacy systems, there is potential to establish a decentralised blockchain network across these territories. There would also be scope for this network to be scaled further into wealthier countries, through a secondary wave of adoption by Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS).
对于我们未来的城市来说,以高效、有弹性和公平的方式组织交通至关重要;促进经济增长、社会凝聚力和最大限度地减少环境影响,包括气候变化。在世界各地的城市,新的灵活的共享经济服务正在模糊私人和公共交通之间的界限。然而,这些新的运输模式正在制造“数字鸿沟”,并且缺乏其他服务之间的整合和协调。这需要为人们,包括弱势群体创造无缝和可持续的旅行选择。这篇探索性论文探讨了区块链在解决发展中国家日益增长的城市中日益严重的拥堵和污染方面发挥关键作用的潜力。它借鉴了对自动收费系统的作用以及南非开普敦和印度德里等城市的相关移动市场动态和趋势的初步研究。提出了一个全球和通用的区块链基础设施的案例,用于共享移动和资产数据,设计时考虑到低收入经济体和弱势群体。它将使:•用户能够以公平和无障碍的方式使用不同的交通方式;•向运输运营商保证付款;•城市拥有解决拥堵和目标补贴的综合解决方案。在富裕国家,移动即服务(MaaS)是一种新的商业模式,它将公共和私人服务整合在一起。如果没有支持区块链的基础设施,它的采用水平可能会受到限制。通过为现有遗留系统较少的低收入国家城市(LICCs)创建可行的新数字基础设施,有可能在这些地区建立分散的区块链网络。通过移动即服务(MaaS)的第二波采用,这一网络也有进一步扩展到富裕国家的空间。

Decentralisation is Coming: The Future of Blockchain 去中心化即将到来:b区块链的未来
Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2019-08-16 DOI: 10.31585/jbba-2-2-(8)2019
M. Fenwick, E. Vermeulen
Advocates of blockchain believe that distributed ledger technologies can provide us with a technological infrastructure to challenge the concentrated power of tech giants such as Amazon, Facebook and Google, and create a more equitable, sustainable and decentralized world. This paper considers these claims and concludes that they are preferable to defending the status quo or arguing that a solution might be found in more and better regulations. Nevertheless, the future remains highly uncertain and we are currently living in a rapidly evolving “space” between two competing realities: a centralized old-world reality and a fast-emerging, but, as yet, incomplete, decentralized reality. We remain optimistic that decentralization is coming but identify powerful competing forces seeking to preserve the status quo. As such, we must encourage more organizations – business, government, investors, charities – to experiment with distributed ledger technologies and to participate actively in the digital transformation. We need more experimentation to address the current shortcomings of decentralisation and to ensure the early arrival of mainstream applications of a technology that has the potential to solve some of the most pressing global challenges of a digital age.
区块链的倡导者认为,分布式账本技术可以为我们提供技术基础设施,挑战亚马逊、Facebook、谷歌等科技巨头的集中力量,创造一个更加公平、可持续和去中心化的世界。本文考虑了这些主张,并得出结论,它们比维护现状或辩称可能在更多更好的法规中找到解决方案更可取。然而,未来仍然高度不确定,我们目前生活在两个相互竞争的现实之间迅速演变的“空间”:一个是中央集权的旧世界现实,另一个是迅速出现但尚未完成的分散现实。我们仍然乐观地认为,权力下放即将到来,但我们也认识到寻求维持现状的强大竞争力量。因此,我们必须鼓励更多的组织——企业、政府、投资者、慈善机构——试验分布式账本技术,并积极参与数字化转型。我们需要更多的实验来解决目前去中心化的缺点,并确保这项技术的主流应用早日到来,这项技术有可能解决数字时代一些最紧迫的全球挑战。

Blockchain Investigations - Beyond the 'Money' 区块链调查——超越“金钱”
Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2019-08-12 DOI: 10.31585/JBBA-2-2-(6)2019
S. Dyson
Cryptocurrency investigations have centered almost entirely around the transfer of value “money” or a cryptocurrency asset. The use of cryptocurrency for illicit purposes, especially Bitcoin, is well documented both in academic writing, media reporting and even film documentaries. The infamous SilkRoad market place in addition to the millions of dollars spent within dark markets on drugs, guns and assassinations have grabbed the headlines. This paper looks at how blockchain is creating new areas of investigation that are yet to be explored in detail. This scenario-based research examines the hosting of stolen data (P.I.I) personal identifiable information on a distributed blockchain host where the data is also accessible. The platform used is based on Ethereum infrastructure but demonstrates just one available platform that poses the paradigm. The paper examines the considerations through the lens of an incident responder /cyber investigator, forensics examiner and data controller. The scenario highlights distinct differences in considerations from a traditional response compared to dealing with the immutable and unstoppable distributed technology. The paper concludes that more is needed to be done to understand digital forensics in the blockchain era and the need to develop beyond track and trace in the cryptocurrency investigative tool box. The discussion also brings forth how data retention and GDPR requires consideration when applying it blockchain systems.
加密货币调查几乎完全围绕价值“货币”或加密货币资产的转移展开。将加密货币用于非法目的,尤其是比特币,在学术写作、媒体报道甚至电影纪录片中都有很好的记录。臭名昭著的丝绸之路市场,以及黑市上数百万美元的毒品、枪支和暗杀活动,都占据了各大媒体的头条。本文着眼于区块链如何创造尚未详细探索的新调查领域。这种基于场景的研究检查了在分布式区块链主机上托管被盗数据(P.I.I)个人身份信息,其中数据也可以访问。所使用的平台是基于以太坊基础设施的,但只展示了一个可用的平台。本文通过事件响应者/网络调查员、法医审查员和数据控制者的视角考察了这些考虑因素。与处理不可变和不可阻挡的分布式技术相比,该场景突出了传统响应在考虑方面的明显差异。该论文的结论是,需要做更多的工作来了解区块链时代的数字取证,以及在加密货币调查工具箱中开发超越跟踪和追踪的需求。讨论还提出了在应用区块链系统时如何考虑数据保留和GDPR。

The discussion also brings forth how data retention and GDPR requires consideration when applying it blockchain systems.","PeriodicalId":33145,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of The British Blockchain Association","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78216477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unique combination of social and economic factors has brought about a dynamic and rapidly-evolving blockchain ecosystem in Asia. This paper systematically reviewed the development of four fast-growing blockchain hubs in Asia, namely China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea using secondary data sources. These countries are fast-growing based on the development of its digital, technological and regulatory infrastructure, patent applications, cryptocurrency trading volume and Initial Crypto-token Offerings (ICOs) activities. The review included insights into the different regulatory approaches, the blockchain startup scenes, selected enterprise or government-backed projects, as well as the research and educational landscape. Our findings suggested that the regulators, industry players, and academic institutions were purposeful and deliberate in nurturing blockchain technology innovation. Future development would be dependent on the regulatory, technological, as well as talent capability support unique to each blockchain hub.
社会和经济因素的独特结合为亚洲带来了一个充满活力和快速发展的区块链生态系统。本文系统地回顾了亚洲四个快速增长的区块链中心的发展,即中国、日本、新加坡和韩国。这些国家基于其数字、技术和监管基础设施、专利申请、加密货币交易量和初始加密代币发行(ico)活动的发展而快速增长。该审查包括对不同监管方法、区块链启动场景、选定的企业或政府支持的项目,以及研究和教育领域的见解。我们的研究结果表明,监管机构、行业参与者和学术机构在培育区块链技术创新方面是有目的和深思熟虑的。未来的发展将取决于每个区块链中心独特的监管、技术和人才能力支持。
