Protecting Distributed Ledgers from Advanced Persistent Threats Using SVM-Based Blockchain Security

Abstract

This work focuses on multi-dimensional approach to incorporate the Support Vector Machine (SVM) models with Blockchain to secure distributed ledger against APTs.The classifying and high pattern recognition ability of SVM makes the proposed framework easily capture and neutralize malicious activities in the blockchain networks in realtime.The distribution of the blockchain technology and use of machine learning for predictive modeling guarantees a hard-coded countermeasure against new forms of cyber threats.As such, this work is centered on how these technologies can be integrated in harmony: attempting to enhance the accuracy of threat identification without compromising the functionality of the blockchain.This implementation shows the possibility of achieving strong, secure and scalable applications in different applications domains, and so make a way forward for upcoming decentralized cybersecurity solutions.
