Blockchain Security Measures to Combat Cyber Crime

Abstract

Blockchain technology provides a data structure with intrinsic security qualities, such as cryptography, decentralization, and consensus, that guarantee the integrity of transactions. It has wide-ranging applications, including the Internet of Things (IoT), health, intelligent manufacturing, finance, and many more. In this chapter, we shed light on the blockchain solutions for cyber criminals, concepts, elements, structure, and other aspects of blockchain utilization. Specifically, this chapter extends the elaboration on the blockchain, the blockchain components, the blockchain architecture, features, types, and limitations. Also, this chapter will extend the elaboration on cyber criminals, their types, their security needs, blockchain solutions, issues, challenges, and difficulties of using blockchain technology to fight cyber crimes. This chapter deepens the knowledge of blockchain solutions for cyber criminals and provides more insights to readers about blockchain, cyber attacks, cyber criminals, and their countermeasures.
