Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to inform you that "DeliveryCoin: An IDS and Blockchain-Based Delivery Framework for Drone-Delivered Services" has been published in Computers as part of the Special Issue Blockchain-Based Systems and is available online:https://www.mdpi.com/2073-431X/8/3/58 Abstract: In this paper, we propose an intrusion detection system (IDS) and Blockchain-based delivery framework, called DeliveryCoin, for drone-delivered services. The DeliveryCoin framework consists of four phases, including system initialization phase, creating the block, updating the blockchain, and intrusion detection phase. To achieve privacy-preservation, the DeliveryCoin framework employs hash functions and short signatures without random oracles and the Strong Diffie–Hellman (SDH) assumption in bilinear groups. To achieve consensus inside the blockchain-based delivery platform, we introduce a UAV-aided forwarding mechanism, named pBFTF. We also propose an IDS system in each macro eNB (5G) for detecting self-driving network attacks as well as false transactions between self-driving nodes. Furthermore, extensive simulations are conducted, and results confirm the efficiency of our proposed DeliveryCoin framework in terms of latency of blockchain consensus and accuracy. --------CfP--------------- Special Issue "Blockchain-Based Systems" Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 December 2019.

Dear Colleagues, Blockchain is the key enabling technology for cryptocurrency. It was introduced as part of the first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, which was established during the great recession in early 2009. Blockchain is often referred to as a distributed and secure database. In reality, blockchain is much more than that: It consists of a mechanism that ensures distributed consensus among independent participants operating in an untrusted peer-to-peer network. As such, blockchain has now been used in areas far beyond the financial sector. In addition to the applications of blockchain, there is also intense research on the foundation of the blockchain technology itself, such as different ways to accomplish distributed consensus, security of blockchain, and scalability of blockchain. This Special Issue welcomes original research and review articles on all aspects of the blockchain technology. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas: Consensus algorithms; Cyberattacks on blockchains; Economic impact on cyberattacks; Security and trust on permissioned blockchains; Scalability of blockchains; Reliability analysis on blockchain-based systems; Smart contracts; Visualization of blockchain data; Blockchain for banking and finance; Blockchain for supply chain; Blockchain for consumer products and retail; Blockchain for governments; Blockchain for automotive; Blockchain for medicine and health care; Blockchain for travel and transportation; Blockchain for Internet of Things; Blockchain for agriculture.
