Securing Blockchain

Abstract

In the emerging trends technologies, such as blockchain, security is one of the most critical aspects to be strongly addressed. In general, confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) are the concepts that are considered to provide security. To handle the public blockchain, this is always an important challenge that needs special attention. For example, in distributed systems, when copying information over the whole network, confidentiality will be the main issue. In real time, the CIA triad faces considerably more problems in terms of integrity; even the integrity of information appears to be unaffected. In blockchain, read availability is considered much higher than write availability. This chapter delves into the combination of two technologies: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and blockchain. With the increasing prevalence of blockchain applications, ensuring security is a main concern. This chapter explores methods of incorporating GANs into blockchain security by introducing an approach to protect distributed ledger systems. Utilizing GANs for detecting anomalies in modern threats and adopting security measures will strengthen blockchain networks against emerging cyberthreats. This chapter focuses on obstacles, emphasizing the impact of GANs on blockchain security and offering insights for researchers looking to enhance the resilience of decentralized systems in today&s;s cybersecurity environment.
