“…Therefore, a design goal of QiOi is to control the scheduling delay via CPU allocation of Fabric components. We focus on the orderers and the peers because their impacts have been known on determining Fabric performance [16,[36][37][38].…”

This paper investigates the performance interference of blockchain services that run on cloud data centers. As the data centers offer shared computing resources to multiple services, the blockchain services can experience performance interference due to the co-located services. We explore the impact of the interference on Fabric performance and develop a new technique to offer performance isolation for Hyperledger Fabric, the most popular blockchain platform. First, we analyze the characteristics of the different components in Hyperledger Fabric and show that Fabric components have different impacts on the performance of Fabric. Then, we present QiOi, component-level performance isolation technique for Hyperledger Fabric. The key idea of QiOi is to dynamically control the CPU scheduling of Fabric components to cope with the performance interference. We implement QiOi as a user-level daemon and evaluate how QiOi mitigates the performance interference of Fabric. The evaluation results demonstrate that QiOi mitigates performance degradation of Fabric by 22% and improves Fabric latency by 2.5 times without sacrificing the performance of co-located services. In addition, we show that QiOi can support different ordering services and chaincodes with negligible overhead to Fabric performance.

“…Furthermore, the REST API has some more latency than protocols such as gRPC (Google Remote Procedure Calls) and TCP sockets. Since the limitation of scaling is entirely dependent on the blockchain platform, it can be eliminated by either deploying more miner nodes or using a plug-and-play scalability improvement technique such as [18].…”

Internet of Things (IoT) is a key topic of interest in modern communication context with the evolution of 5G and beyond ecosystems. 5G will interconnects billions of IoT devices wirelessly. The wireless communication exposes the devices to massive security risks in different dimensions. The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is one of the promising solutions to eliminate security risks. It ensures the authentication and communication integrity by using public key certificates. However, the overhead of certificate storage is a significant problem for the resource constrained IoT devices. We propose an application of Elliptic Curve Qu Vanstone (ECQV) certificates, which are lightweight in size for the resource restricted IoT devices. Furthermore, we incorporate the blockchain based smart contracts to handle the certificate related operations. We utilize the smart contracts in the certificate issuance and developed a smart contract based threat scoring mechanism to automatically revoke the certificates. The lightweight nature of ECQV certificates enables the distributed ledger to store, update, and revoke the certificates. We evaluated the proposed solution in Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform.

“…Hyperledger fabric has a concurrency controller that help increase throughput when processing transactions. A recent research [46] has also demonstrated the re-engineering of a hyperledger fabric to increase transaction throughput from 300 to nearly 20,000 transactions per second. Similar work has also been conducted in [47] and [48] to attest the better performance of the permissioned blockchain based on the hyperledger fabric than that of the permission less blockchain.…”

A Design for a Secure Energy Market Trading System in a National Wholesale Electricity Market

et al. 2020

Energy market trading systems are undergoing rapid transformation due to an increasing demand for renewable energy sources to be integrated into the power grid, coupled with the dynamic and evolving needs of future energy customers. In the current energy trading system, which is based on mega power generation, energy is traded by insecure means of communication based on mutual trust. In addition, electricity from both renewable and non-renewable sources is mixed in the grid, impeding customers' ability to definitively track the source of energy dispatched to their premises. Although blockchain technology has been studied for energy trading on a peer-to-peer microgrid trading, to our knowledge none of the previous work focused on using blockchain for trading energy in a national wholesale energy market in macrogrid. In this paper, we address security architectures required of the energy market trading system in an Australian context, we propose a cryptocurrency token-based structure and a smart contract that provides data confidentiality that verifies and audits transactional records. The proposed trading system architecture not only enhances overall system security but provides additional capabilities in the operation of the scheme so that sources of energy dispatched to customer premises are known. The energy market trading system we propose also presents higher security compared to existing trading systems.
