Welcome to BSCI 2022

Blockchain is a decentralized transaction and data management technology that was voiced by its implementation in Bitcoin. In recent years, Blockchain has been achieving an ever-growing popularity. The reason for the interest in Blockchain is its central attributes that provide security, anonymity and data integrity without any third-party organization in control of the transactions, and therefore it is applied in numerous fields, including securing critical infrastructure.


As technology advanced, critical infrastructures increasingly come to rely on digital control systems and networking. Attacks on critical infrastructure sites are currently a fact of life rather than a potential threat. For example, power stations, chemical plants, telecommunication stations and nuclear facilities are tempting targets to cyber-attacks. In this scene, the question remains on why and how we can utilize blockchain techniques to secure critical infrastructure. Prior methods of protecting critical infrastructure have been plagued by centralized weaknesses and single points of failure problems. Contemporarily, Blockchain can offer cryptography for transactions and data in trustless distributed networks to enhance the reliability and resilience of the critical infrastructure. In other words, increasingly open and security needs is forcing us to shore up defenses with developing blockchain technology to help secure distributed critical infrastructure.


The aim of this academic get-together, ACM International Symposium on Blockchain and Secure Critical Infrastructure, is to collect latest research results concerning Blockchain and secure critical infrastructure on relevant scenarios, such as the ones subsequently listed. Researchers, experts, and scholars from both industry and academia are encouraged to share their recent studies, investigations, and findings in this forum.


Selected high-quality papers will be suggested to the following special issue: Blockchain: Research and Applications (Elsevier), Special Issue on Blockchain and Secure Critical Infrastructure (BSCI)


The series of highly successful International Symposium on Blockchain and Secure Critical Infrastructure (BSCI) include BSCI-2021 (Hongkong, China), BSCI-2020 (Taipei, Taiwan, China) and BSCI-2019 (Auckland, New Zealand).

Abstract: The fifth generation (5G) wireless networks technologies support diverse vertical applications by connecting heterogeneous devices and machines, promising drastic improvements in terms of low latency, increased network capacity and enhanced system throughput. Despite all these advantages that 5G will bring about, there are still major challenges to be addressed, including decentralization, transparency, risks of data interoperability, network privacy and security vulnerabilities. On paper, Distributed Ledger Technologies provide a framework to effectively handle most challenges in 5G networks. The talk outlines recent developments in blockchain-based 5G services, focusing on the potential of blockchain for key 5G technologies, including edge computing, Network Function Virtualization, Network Slicing, and M2M communications and for 5G services, including from spectrum management, virtualization, and resource management. Then, it considers the properties that DLT can support in terms of trust, privacy and security, identifying and possible 0research challenges with open issues.
