Blockchain and its infrastructure technology have expanded rapidly in the last decade and are in high demand, but there is a lack of comprehensive studies on those platforms. Blockchain is a new technology based on the distributed digital ledger system. Decentralized trust is one of the key factors behind the blockchain-based system. Transparency of such a system is better than a conventional centralized ledger system. By using a blockchain-based transaction system, any business organization can harness key benefits like data integrity, confidentiality, and anonymity without involving any third party in control of the transactions. Since the blockchain is used in numerous applications and the horizon is expanding at an unprecedented pace. So, there is a need for an introducing and reviewing of blockchain platforms. In this paper, we have reported a review on existing contemporary blockchain platforms. In particular, From the existing studies, we have identified eighty blockchain platforms and the majority of them have a lack of technical details. To provide the researchers a comprehensive introducing on blockchain platforms to perform a broad guideline for future research and investment in the blockchain domain.

Transportation of goods by rail in border areas requires considerable time, money, and human resources. Therefore, in this study, a blockchain-based non-stop passing system is proposed to solve this problem. In this study, each transit station and train are designated as one network node, and the corresponding node participates in the blockchain network to record and verify data. In the process, we will design a blockchain network using Docker and design a network interface. Without changing the data and information generated in the existing legacy clearance system, it is possible to configure a blockchain network to ensure the integrity and reliability of the data and to minimize the consumption of time and human resources. The railroad non-stop passing system aims to change the existing legacy system to a blockchain-based non-stop passing system.

When blockchain technology, which shows various applicability, is utilized as a component of a database system, the characteristics of open verification and integrity/transparency of blockchain technology can bring new functionalities or enhanced results to the existing database system. However, when applying this blockchain technology to a database system, the cost versus expected effect in various performance perspectives must be evaluated. These costs include execution time and required storage space, and the performance of the converged system may vary in analysis method depending on the configuration method of the characteristics of the blockchain. This paper aims to propose an analysis model for the entire architecture by considering aspects that are not considered in the performance analysis models of database systems and the unique characteristics of blockchains. In doing so, we are trying to build a theoretical framework as an important conceptual technique that should be considered in the evaluation process of the performance results that can be obtained through the utilization of blockchain components in database systems. What we hope is that this work is expected to provide a useful foundation for researchers interested in the convergence of database systems and blockchain technology in order to construct a system with new future functionalities.

블록체인의 참여가 증가하면서 생태계 유지를 위한 거버넌스가 활성화되고 있다. 거버넌스는 블록체인을 유지하고 발전시키기 위해 관리/감독이 이루어져야 한다. 하지만 블록체인의 사용량이 증가함에 따라 사람이 일일이 관리하기엔 한계가 존재한다. 또한, 이더리움부터 적용된 스마트 컨트랙트라는 새로운 거래 형태가 가능함에 따라 상태 값에 따라 결정되는 거래에 대해 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구는 거버넌스의 블록체인 생태계 유지와 발전을 위한 도구로 블록체인 스마트 컨트랙트의 상태 모니터링을 기반으로 하는 관제시스템(Blockchain Watchdog)을 제안하며, 관제시스템의 구현 및 실험을 진행하였다. 사례 연구로 Ropsten과 Ganache를 활용한 사설 네트워크에서 실험을 진행하였으며, 실시간 정보수집과 대시보드와 그래프, 차트를 활용한 시각화를 볼 수 있었다. 우리는 Blockchain Watchdog을 통해 블록체인 거버넌스의 생태계 유지와 발전에 기여할 것이라 기대한다.

블록체인의 tamper-free 특성으로 많은 응용들이 개발되고 있다. MIT Media Lab 등은 기존 학력 증명의 진본 여부를 확인하는 절차의 복잡한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 블록체인 기반 디지털 졸업장 시스템을 개발하였다. 기존의 연구는 public blockchain 기반으로 원칙적으로 누구나 디지털 졸업장을 발급자가 될 수 있으나 이를 해결하기 위한 방법을 명확히 제시하고 있지 않다. 기존의 학력 증명 블록체인 시스템은 블록체인의 무결성을 활용하지만 개인정보가 다수 들어 있는 졸업장의 기밀성 문제를 해결하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최초로 private blockchain 기반으로 HyperCerts라 명명된 디지털 졸업장 시스템을 제안한다. Private blockchain 기반이므로 신원이 확인된 신뢰할 수 있는 자만이 디지털 졸업장을 발급할 수 있으며 practical byzantine fault tolerance를 합의 알고리즘으로 이용하여 작은 컴퓨팅 파워를 필요로 하며 합의에 따른 지연이 매우 적은 장점이 있다. 디지털 졸업장은 민감한 개인정보를 포함한다. 따라서 디지털 졸업장의 privacy는 보장되어야 한다. HyperCerts는 디지털 졸업장의 hash값만 분산 원장에 저장하므로 악의적 노드의 참여로 인한 개인정보 유출 문제를 원천적으로 차단한다. 또한 디지털 졸업장은 암호화되고 OTP와 함께 제공되어 복호화 횟수 제한 등으로 디지털졸업장이 유출되었을 때 무분별한 복호화를 방지하도록 하였다.

Farmers E-Market is a website that allows agricultural workers to direct market their products to buyers without the use of a middleman. That theory is blockchain system will be used by authors to accomplish this. The system, which is built on a public blockchain system, supports sustainability, shippers, and consumers. Farmers can keep track of their farming activities. Customers can review the product's history and track its journey through carriers to delivery after making a purchase. Farmers are encouraged to get information about their interests promptly in a blockchain-enabled system like this. This functionality is being used by small-scale farmers to form groups based on their location to attract large-scale customers, renegotiate farming techniques or volumes, and enter into contracts with buyers. The analysis shows the use of blockchain technology with a farmer's portal that keeps the video of trading data of crops, taking into account the qualities of blockchain such as values and create or transaction data. The proposal merges python as a programming language with a blockchain system to benefit farmers, vendors, and individuals by preserving transactions.

Recently the blockchain technology has been actively studied due to its great potentiality. The smart contract is a key mechanism of the blockchain system. Due to the short history of the smart contract, many issues have not been solved yet. One main issue is vulnerability and another main issue is cost optimization. While the vulnerability of smart contract has been actively studied, the cost optimization has been rarely studied. In this paper, we propose two cost optimization methods for smart contracts running on the blockchain system. Triggering a function in a smart contract program code may require costs and it is repeated continuously. So the minimization of costs required to trigger a function of smart contract while maintaining the performance equally is very important. The proposed two methods minimize the usage of expensive permanent variables deployed on the blockchain system. We apply the proposed two methods to three prevalent blockchain platforms: Ethereum, Klaytn and Tron. Evaluation experiments verify that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the costs of functions in the smart contract written with Solidity.

The evolution of blockchain-based systems has enabled researchers to develop nextgeneration e-voting systems. However, the classical consensus method of blockchain, that is, Proof-of-Work, as implemented in Bitcoin, has a significant impact on energy consumption and compromises the scalability, efficiency, and latency of the system. In this paper, we propose a hybrid consensus model (PSC-Bchain) composed of Proof of Credibility and Proof of Stake that work mutually to address the aforementioned problems to secure e-voting systems. Smart contracts are used to provide a trustworthy public bulletin board and a secure computing environment to ensure the accuracy of the ballot outcome. We combine a sharding mechanism with the PSC-Bchain hybrid approach to emphasize security, thus enhancing the scalability and performance of the blockchain-based e-voting system. Furthermore, we compare and discuss the execution of attacks on the classical blockchain and our proposed hybrid blockchain, and analyze the security. Our experiments yielded new observations on the overall security, performance, and scalability of blockchain-based e-voting systems.
