Blockchain in fifth-generation network and beyond: a survey

Abstract

Fifth-generation (5G) technologies enable a wide range of vertical applications by connecting heterogeneous equipment and machines, resulting in significantly improved service quality, increased network capacity, and improved system performance. As a result, the world is shifting to 5G wireless networks. Because 5G has the advantage of supporting various vertical applications, 5G systems must still overcome challenges such as transparency, data interoperability probabilities, decentralization, and network privacy. In this paper, we'll show how blockchain can be used to solve problems in 5G, as well as some of the idea’s researchers, have come up with to solve them, like resource sharing, security, and mobility.

Comparative Analysis of Blockchain Platforms for Security Enhancement in Online Social Networks

“…The adversary can create a new account like the original user account in any social network by collecting information about the user from different OSNs. The fake profile attack is similar to Sybil or social bots attack [18]. Fake profile attacks can have detrimental effects on both users and the network.…”

“…Users are vulnerable to misleading interactions, potentially causing reputational harm. The network, in turn, faces compromised credibility as fake profiles are utilized to spread misinformation, undermining the platform's trustworthiness [18].…”

“…Anonymization involves using certain techniques from unauthorized access to hide personal information. In the deanonymization technique, the attacker tries to expose user information by tracking the network topology, user group membership, and cookies [18]. De-anonymization attacks pose risks to user privacy and network integrity.…”

“…Users may suffer from privacy breaches, exposing them to identityrelated crimes and potential harassment. This jeopardizes the network's reputation for user privacy, leading to a decline in trust among its user base [18].…”

Committer Assessment Practice in Blockchain Project: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Moreover, the public Blockchain has brought vital innovations, such as self-governability, which is based on a decentralised consensus protocol (Leewis et al, 2021). The protocol uses cryptography and economic incentives to persuade community members to protect the network (Mustafa et al, 2022). The technical capabilities of Blockchain are frequently claimed as superior in many respects to those of traditional OSS, especially in predicting its future growth (Lindman, 2021).…”
