On distributed ledgers security and illegal uses
Future Generation Computer Systems. 2020. No. 113. P. 183–195.

Distributed ledgers stimulate innovative services and enabled new applications in several domains, creating new concepts for trust and regulation. However, this backbone that is enabling novelties and abridging businesses comes with drawbacks and security flaws. In this paper, we evaluate several Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) features depicting the Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Hyperledger, Algorand and IOTA networks. We focus on their security challenges and expose numerous threats and vulnerabilities. For instance, we have simulated a few of their possible attacks proving them non-immune. In the other hand, we show a few of their malicious use cases. Meticulously presenting DLTs menaces and flaws, we are not involved in preferring any specific DLT network.

The present study uses transfer entropy and effective transfer entropy to quantify the asymmetric
information flow between monthly Bitcoin prices (Price) and total Bitcoin electricity consumption
(Electricity). Both the Shannon and R´enyi estimates confirm a statistically significant information
flow from Price to Electricity. However, Shannon and R´enyi methods yield mixed results in
quantifying the information flow for Electricity to ...

In this paper, we present a new bivariate model for the joint description of the Bitcoin prices and the media attention to Bitcoin. Our model is based on the class of the Levy processes and is able to realistically reproduce the jump-type dynamics of the considered time series. We focus on the lowfrequency setup, which ...

Blockchain technology has developed rapidly over the last few years. A Blockchain network uses the multi-party agreement concept to reach an agreement on the transaction confirmation. As the technology is new, tools and techniques for blockchain verification are still under development. We explore optimization techniques of weighted multi-party agreements with stochastic properties in the current ...
