Smart Cities: Blockchain-Based Systems, Networks, and Data examines the various components that make up a smart city. It focuses on infrastructure, processes, and services and outlines approaches for services such as health, transport, energy, and more. With an underlying emphasis on blockchain networks, the authors examine ways to provide the management of resources and activities by creating a more secure and trustless operating systems where resources are more effectively allocated and managed. FeaturesNovel approaches toward the provision of smart city servicesDetailed explanations of how a blockchain-based smart city network operatesNovel design and architecture for cutting-edge technologies such as energy systems and vehicular devices interacting with blockchain across smart citiesMonitoring of data flow and the movement of several data types across different components of a smart cityComprehensive analysis of issues affecting entities across a smart city and the effects of blockchain-based solutionsThis book is a practical and detailed demonstration for researchers and industry professionals who would use blockchain technology for effective city management.

Attribute-based Encryption (ABE) Enables readers to understand applications of attribute-based encryption schemes in cloud computing with the support of blockchain technology With a focus on blockchain technology, Attribute-based Encryption (ABE) provides insight into the application of attribute-based encryption (ABE) schemes, discussing types of blockchains, fundamentals of blockchain, and how blockchains are constructed. Comprised of 16 chapters, the text provides an overview of the components that go into creating a dual ABE system of encryption proofs within the following: composite bilinear groups, dual pairing vector space framework, matrix pairing framework, framework for matrix pairing, and the application of cryptographic scheme on blockchain. The team of authors discuss the basic construction components of ABE and share the security models, including the selective and semi- adaptive security models, applying these to either prime order or composite order groups. The book also discusses the tools used for converting a composite order ABE scheme to prime order and an adaptive secure ABE scheme based on prime order. In Attribute-based Encryption (ABE), readers can expect to find information on: Mathematical background of ABE, covering group and cyclic group, elliptic curves, curve selection, supersingular curves, ordinary curves, and weil and tate pairingBasic construction components of ABE, covering access structure, monotone Boolean formula, linear secret-sharing scheme, and ordered binary decision diagramTools for converting composite order ABE schemes to prime order, covering security assumptions and conversion based on vectors for preliminaries, scheme construction, and security proof techniqueFoundations of blockchain technology, covering blocks, miners, hash functions, and public key cryptographyAttribute-based Encryption (ABE) is an essential resource for professionals working in the field of design and cybersecurity who wish to understand how to use blockchain and the ABE scheme to provide fine-grained access control in outsourced data on third-party cloud servers.
