Exploiting smart contracts in PBFT-based blockchains: A case study in medical prescription system
AbstractSmart contracts allow application developers to automate business processes through a decentralized computation architecture. Contemporary blockchain platforms such as Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric offer support for smart contracts ...
Pervasive Smart Contracts for Blockchains in IoT Systems
ICBTA '18: Proceedings of the 2018 International Conference on Blockchain Technology and ApplicationThanks to its decentralized structure and immutability, blockchain technology has the potential to address relevant security and privacy challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT). In particular, by hosting and executing smart contracts, blockchain ...
On Consensus in Public Blockchains
ICBCT 2019: Proceedings of the 2019 International Conference on Blockchain TechnologyIn this paper, we formulate the consensus problem and its solutions as seen in public blockchains and contrast them to those of the traditional distributed consensus. The Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm introduced in Bitcoin provides the first elegant and ...
