An official Journal of the Zhejiang University PressBlockchain: Research and Applications is an international, peer reviewed journal for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present the latest advances and innovations in blockchain research. The journal publishes theoretical and applied papers in established and emerging areas of blockchain research to shape the future of blockchain technology.The emergence and popularity of blockchain techniques have significantly changed the operation and management of digital systems globally. As a result, new applications of blockchain technology exhibit a variety of complex problems which generate new demands and challenges on the research community. Blockchain: Research and Applications seeks to promote community-wide discussion to identify advanced applications, technologies and theories in blockchain research.We seek submissions of papers that detail novel techniques, investigate new applications, introduce advanced methodologies, propose promising research directions and discuss approaches for unsolved issues.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Blockchain theories and their evolution,Smart contracts and distributed ledgers,Distributed consensus and fault tolerance mechanisms,Blockchain schemes for decentralization,Issues of security and privacy surrounding blockchain technology,Performance optimization of blockchain and decentralized schemes,Blockchain based protocols and algorithms,Integration of blockchain with other emerging technologies,Permissioned and permissionless blockchainsCryptocurrency adoption and transition dynamics,Transaction graph analysis,Fraud detection and financial crime prevention,Economics and game theoretic analysis of cryptocurrency protocols,Regulation and law enforcement of blockchain technology,Usability and user studies,Legal, ethical and societal aspects of blockchain and related applicationsCase studies (e.g., of adoption, attacks, forks, scams, ...)
To defend against various cyber-attacks, the companies and organizations should have right policies and procedures in place. Moreover, it is essential to develop new quantum-safe encryption algorithms and modern tools which can withstand from quantum computer-based attacks. This Cyber Security and Applications (CSA) journal focuses on cyber breaches, cyber-attacks, quantum computing based encryption and decryption techniques and cyber defense tools for improving level of cyber security.In addition to this, CSA also welcomes the researchers to submit the papers related to advance methods and tools for improving the cyber security in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Therefore, the CSA journal seeks innovative papers in the field of cyber security. CSA also accepts the substantially extended version of the conference papers in the field of cyber security.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:Cyber attacksSoftware and Hardware SecuritySecurity issues in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS)Machine learning mechanisms for cyber securityKey generation and key distribution schemesModern tools for improving cyber securityEmerging trends in cyber securityAuthenticated Key Agreement ProtocolsCyber security in Internet of Things (IoT)Cyber security in CloudQuantum-safe encryption algorithmsQuantum-safe digital signature schemesQuantum-safe key management mechanismsEditorial Board
