“…Moreover, to demonstrate blockchain applications in shipping, Komathy [32] presented a proof-of-concept of the distributed blockchain shipping (DBCS) architecture that brings real-time international shipping activities, including banking, manufacturing, and insurance under a secured IoT system. Finally, applications of blockchain technology in maritime autonomous surface ship (MASS) operations have been investigated [33][34][35].…”

“…Artificial intelligence (AI) could be applied in a blockchain platform to deliver bug-free smart contracts, for example, in case of violations of conditions encoded in a smart contract, the system would refund payment automatically [19]. Further, AI-enabled blockchain applications are evident in autonomous ship operations [33][34][35]. The convergence of blockchain, IoT, and AI technologies, as such, will drive innovative business model developments and digital transformation across these industries.…”

Blockchain technology, since its introduction, has been expected to be implemented in many areas. Cryptocurrency is one unique example that established a functioning application. On the other hand, blockchain technology is not immune to various challenges related to the nature of itself, privacy management, and antitrust laws, among others. This study lays out the nature of blockchain and applications in the maritime industry, while highlighting the bottlenecks. Potential resolutions and anticipated developments are proposed. To do this, we adopt a systematic approach and present an overview of blockchain in maritime literature. In addition, the fundamental problems with blockchain are investigated, beginning from their essentials to the pain points that are claimed to need improvement. For establishing a legitimate and practically meaningful blockchain platform, stakeholders need to achieve pluralism (consensus validation), privacy, and security of the system.

“…Segurança de dados: A plataforma Ethereum junto com um contrato inteligente é comparada com uma comunicação usando MQTT quanto ao seu nível de segurança e simulando ataques em [Fakhri and Mutijarsa 2018]. O uso de blockchain para segurança na comunicação é também aplicado na Indústria 4.0, dados marítimos e cidades inteligentes [Rathee et al 2021, Rahimi et al 2020, Biswas and Muthukkumarasamy 2016.…”

The Internet of Things aggregates devices able to capture information and interfere in the environment, in such a way to obtain, generate and send data on a large scale to different domain application systems, such as agriculture, industry, trade, and governments. These systems need a security layer to guarantee, among other requirements, the irrefutability of transactions and the integrity of the manipulated data. In this sense, an integration with the blockchain technology, through smart contracts, would meet this need. Blockchain is a disruptive technology that offers a digital trust network for conducting transactions between peers, often unknown. This chapter presents a recent boarder research of IoT with blockchain; introduces a classification of layered blockchain technology and conducts a comprehensive study on consensus strategies and IoT applications with blockchain. In the end, it offers a guide with information that allows interested parties to design training in this area, including the realization of practical exercises. ResumoA Internet das Coisas agrega dispositivos capazes de capturar informações e interferir no ambiente, de maneira a obter, gerar e enviar dados em larga escala para sistemas de domínios de aplicações diferentes, tais como agricultura, indústria, comércio e governos. Estes sistemas precisam de uma camada de segurança para garantir, dentre outras características, a irrefutabilidade das transações e a integridade dos dados manipulados. Neste sentido, a integração com a blockchain, através dos contratos inteligentes, atenderia a esta necessidade. A blockchain é uma tecnologia disruptiva que oferece uma rede de confiança digital para a realização de transações entre pares, muitas vezes desconhecidos. Este capítulo apresenta pesquisas recentes na fronteira da IoT com a blockchain; apresenta uma classificação da tecnologia de blockchain em camadas e realiza um estudo amplo sobre as estratégias de consenso e aplicações IoT com blockchain. Ao final, fornece um guia com informações que permitam aos interessados a concepção de treinamentos nesta área, contemplando, inclusive, a realização de exercícios práticos.

“…Blockchain technology, which has become mainstream in the financial sector in the last decade due to its wide proven capabilities, now is spreading its application to the military and other sectors, helping to leverage security in critical systems [10]. Due to the growing use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in the maritime environment, with applications in autonomous shipping, navigation, monitoring, and other critical applications, the need for a secure and reliable communication system is bold [11]. Note that, according to the e-navigation Strategy Implementation Plan [12], which aims at a large-scale maritime information system, improved reliability and data integrity are among the shipboard user needs and priorities.…”

“…This work focuses on the vulnerabilities of a national-scale MMS, where the sensing devices are isolated and often in dangerous environments. In this scenario, attackers could try to tamper with physical sensors or even modify data from Radio Frequency (RF) communication channels, compromising data integrity and authenticity [11]. In an even worst scenario, they could use tactics similar to the ones in the SolarWinds hacking [1] to access the MMS database and put the system availability at risk.…”

Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) is a strategic field of study that seeks to provide a coastal country with an effective monitoring of its maritime resources and its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). In this scope, a Maritime Monitoring System (MMS) aims to leverage active surveillance of military and non-military activities at sea using sensing devices such as radars, optronics, automatic Identification Systems (AISs), and IoT, among others. However, deploying a nation-scale MMS imposes great challenges regarding the scalability and cybersecurity of this heterogeneous system. Aiming to address these challenges, this work explores the use of blockchain to leverage MMS cybersecurity and to ensure the integrity, authenticity, and availability of relevant navigation data. We propose a prototype built on a permissioned blockchain solution using HyperLedger Fabric—a robust, modular, and efficient open-source blockchain platform. We evaluate this solution’s performance through a practical experiment where the prototype receives sensing data from a Software-Defined-Radio (SDR)-based low-cost AIS receiver built with a Raspberry Pi. In order to reduce scalability attrition, we developed a dockerized blockchain client easily deployed on a large scale. Furthermore, we determined, through extensive experimentation, the client optimal hardware configuration, also aiming to reduce implementation and maintenance costs. The performance results provide a quantitative analysis of the blockchain technology overhead and its impact in terms of Quality of Service (QoS), demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of our solution in the scope of an MMS using AIS data.
