Framework for Data Governance and Compliance Across Distributed Multicloud Infrastructures

Esther Uzoka, Bisola Akeju, Olumide Kumuyi, David Excel Ozowara

The Framework for Data Governance and Compliance Across Distributed Multicloud Infrastructures provides a comprehensive model for managing data integrity, privacy, and regulatory alignment in increasingly complex hybrid and multicloud environments. As organizations adopt distributed computing to enhance scalability, resilience, and performance, they face significant challenges in maintaining consistent governance across heterogeneous platforms operated by multiple providers. This framework establishes a unified governance architecture that integrates policy-based orchestration, automated compliance auditing, and federated identity management to ensure data sovereignty, accountability, and interoperability across diverse cloud ecosystems.At its core, the framework emphasizes data classification, lifecycle management, and access control standardization. Sensitive data are categorized by regulatory requirement and security level, while dynamic policies enforce encryption, anonymization, and retention protocols in accordance with frameworks such as GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001. By leveraging federated metadata catalogs and distributed ledgers, the system enables traceable data provenance and immutable audit trails across hybrid environments. A zero-trust security paradigm further ensures that all access requests are continuously verified, regardless of origin, thereby mitigating insider threats and cross-cloud vulnerabilities.The framework also integrates AI-driven compliance monitoring to detect policy violations, automate reporting, and support adaptive governance in real time. Through interoperable APIs and compliance-as-code implementations, organizations can harmonize data policies across public, private, and edge cloud resources while maintaining jurisdictional and contractual adherence.In promoting transparency and resilience, this framework underscores the importance of cross-sector collaboration among regulators, cloud providers, and enterprises. By unifying governance, security, and compliance strategies, it advances a scalable model for secure data management in distributed infrastructuresenabling innovation, regulatory trust, and sustainable digital transformation in the multicloud era.

A. Ammupriya, Chris Laurel S, H Vaishnavi, Aarthi N · 6 authors

Decentralized finance systems with lower costs, faster turnaround times, and a lower risk of fraud could enable crossborder financial transactions. By their very nature, these organizations possess inadequate fraud detection measures and opacity. Through the use of smart contracts and decentralized ledgers, the blockchain-based solution offers a means of eliminating middlemen, which can reduce processing times and costs. Additionally, the proposed system utilizes machine learning (ML) algorithms for instant fraud detection and employs cryptography for security. The results suggest that the proposed system is superior in terms of decision accuracy, with a decision accuracy of 94.2%, a decision time of 5 minutes, and only 20% of the need for human interaction. These are in comparison to the various existing systems that require human involvement, which can reach up to 85%. In addition, it outperforms the existing systems with 96.5% compliance and 91.6% anomaly detection, leading to enhanced risk identification, better governance, and increased compliance. It improves the efficiency, security, and transparency of crossborder payments.

Blockchain-Enabled Decentralized Water Management System (BD-WMS) for Sustainable Irrigation

Ashu Nayak, Kapesh Subhash Raghatate, Gajendra Singh Negi

The scarce resource in agriculture needs to be managed efficiently, and we are developing new solutions to meet our need to manage resource scarcity and to improve irrigation methods. This research proposes the blockchain-enabled Decentralized Water Management System (BD-WMS) based on Blockchain, Smart Contract, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) for sustainable irrigation. On a real-time basis, and to see that the data collected is accurate, the BD-WMS is loaded with IoT sensors to measure the soil moisture, pH levels, and weather conditions. Firstly, it records the data in a ledger on blockchain to ensure that there is no corruption of data and that the data cannot be changed in any way. Using smart contracts, dynamic water requirements are complied with to autonomously control irrigation valves according to dynamic water requirements. I also put forth a Tokenized Water Conservation Incentive Model (TWCIM) that distributes blockchain-based tokens to the farmers in exchange for their adoption of water-saving practices that are convertible into a subsidy amount or can be spent on agricultural resources. An AI-powered predictive analytics module plays its part in the further development of the system efficiency, and it predicts the water demands based on the historical data and environmental conditions. In the greenhouse tomato, the studies show up to 40% water savings and about 25% increase in crop yield when compared to conventional water management. It offers a unique solution to the problems that occur in the traditional irrigation model owing to the decentralized control, along with the criteria of incentive-driven conservation. It was proposed as a scalable, secure, and efficient solution to support sustainable agriculture that optimizes efficient water governance and resource preservation.

The Intersection of Islamic Banking and Cryptocurrency: Opportunities and Challenges for Global Finance

Alfi Fuadah

The rapid development of financial technology has introduced cryptocurrency as a transformative innovation within the global financial system, raising fundamental questions regarding its compatibility with value-based financial models, particularly Islamic banking. Grounded in Sharīʿah principles that emphasize ethical finance, risk-sharing, asset-backed transactions, and the prohibition of ribā, gharar, and maysir, Islamic banking faces both opportunities and challenges in responding to the emergence of decentralized digital assets. This study aims to explore how Islamic banking can engage with cryptocurrency while maintaining its normative and ethical foundations, as well as to identify the key constraints that limit institutional adoption within global finance. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study conducts a systematic and interpretive review of scholarly literature, regulatory frameworks, and classical as well as contemporary Sharīʿah sources related to Islamic finance, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrency governance. The analysis reveals that blockchain technology demonstrates substantial alignment with Islamic banking principles through its transparency, traceability, and decentralized verification mechanisms, offering institutional potential in areas such as payments, trade finance, and smart contracts. However, the findings also indicate that cryptocurrency markets are characterized by high volatility, speculative behavior, weak real-sector linkage, and fragmented regulatory oversight, which raise significant ethical, financial, and governance concerns for Islamic banking institutions. Regulatory divergence and inconsistent Sharīʿah interpretations further complicate cross-border implementation and scalability. The study concludes that Islamic banking should adopt a selective and principle-oriented approach to cryptocurrency, distinguishing between permissible technological infrastructure and ethically problematic market practices.

Energy transition effects on food security amidst climate change and progress toward sustainable development goals

Phemelo Tamasiga, Valentine Munyaradzi Dzingai, Helen Onyeaka, Rose Daphnee Tchonkouang · 7 authors

• The global energy transition impacts food security in developing countries. Renewable energy improves agricultural productivity but creates trade-offs like land and water competition. • Agri-voltaic systems enhance crop yields and energy efficiency. They help balance food and energy production, reducing fossil fuel dependency. • Renewable energy projects can increase food prices in vulnerable regions. Financial incentives, social protection, education, and public-private partnerships to make renewable energy adoption more accessible and affordable for farmers. • Renewable energy can reduce agriculture’s operational costs but high initial investments limit smallholder farmers. The study recommends subsidies, training, and financial support to help farmers adopt renewable energy while ensuring food security is maintained. • There is an eminent need for an interdisciplinary approach to understanding energy transitions’ impacts on food security and long-term sustainability. Transitioning to net-zero societies affects how energy is produced and consumed, with consequences for food security. Through a systematic review of 43 peer-reviewed studies that follow the PRISMA protocol, results reveal that renewable energy can enhance agricultural productivity by reducing operational costs, increasing efficiency in irrigation and processing, and providing reliable access to energy. However, challenges exist, including competition for land and water resources between renewable energy projects and food production, high upfront costs of clean energy technologies, limited access to credit facilities, and institutional bottlenecks. To overcome these challenges, recommended policies include offering subsidies and financial incentives to make clean energy more affordable for farmers, as well as providing education and training to support the adoption of sustainable practices. Furthermore, promoting collaboration between the public and private sectors is crucial to stimulate investment in renewable energy infrastructure. Moreover, these policies must be designed for specific national circumstances. High-income or upper-middle-income countries can deploy capital-intensive agrivoltaic and biogas technologies via concessional finance. In contrast, low-income settings should prioritize low-cost, decentralized solar pumps and off-grid dryers to build farmer confidence and trust. Countries with stronger regulatory frameworks and secure land tenure systems are better equipped to support large-scale renewable energy projects. At the same time, regions with weaker governance tend to benefit most from community-owned mini-grids. The mapping of policy options onto economic, institutional, and agro-ecological dimensions provides a nuanced, context-sensitive framework to guide equitable and effective energy transitions in diverse agricultural landscapes.

Transforming Modular Construction Supply Chains: Integrating Smart Contracts and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Enhanced Coordination and Automation

Ningshuang Zeng, Xuling Ye, Shiqi Chen, Yan Liu · 5 authors

Although existing models and theories have explained systemic behaviors such as demand amplification and disruption propagation, practical challenges in Modular Construction Supply Chains (MCSC) remain unresolved due to production heterogeneity, geographic dispersion, and conflicting stakeholder interests. In addition, the lack of digital infrastructure and process-level data integration continues to hinder the development of automation and intelligent decision-making. To address these issues, this study develops an MCSC coordination system informed by industrial input. The system features a novel dual-engine architecture that integrates blockchain-enabled smart contracts and Robotic Process Automation (RPA). It also incorporates a practice-oriented approach to MCSC Supply Batch (MSB)-based management, using industrial insights to define the MSB as the fundamental coordination unit in process execution. The automatic triggering mechanism enabled by MSBs and dual-engine enables task-to-task transitions while maintaining traceability and operational clarity across supply chain nodes. A real-world case study validates the effectiveness of the proposed system in enhancing traceability, automation, and stakeholder collaboration within MCSC environments.

Ade Indriawan, Nur Aini Rakhmawati

The rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) has increased the risk of fraud and market manipulation. This study introduces a method for detecting wash trading in the NFT marketplace using Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) applied to Ethereum blockchain transaction data. We constructed a heterogeneous graph, used Depth-First Search for labelling, and extracted graph features, including PageRank and degree centrality. We evaluate various classification models: Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCN), and Heterogeneous Graph Convolutional Neural Network (HeteroGCN). The results show that GNN models, particularly the feature-enhanced HeteroGCN, exhibit superior performance compared to featureless models and traditional tabular baselines. The key contribution of this study is that PageRank and Degree Centrality features significantly improve the accuracy of identifying transactions involved in market manipulation.

Blockchain-Enabled Academic Assessment for Secure, Scalable, and Tokenized Evaluation on Ethereum and Polygon

Poornima G. Naik, Rajani S. Kamath, S. S. Jamsandekar

Blockchain technology has gained prominence in academia as a promising solution to strengthen security, transparency, and interoperability in academic assessment systems. The current research presents the design and implementation of a decentralized Ethereum based examination framework using Ethereum smart contracts, role-based access control (RBAC), and ERC20-based fungible tokenization for academic credits. In contrast to prior works which focus primarily on conceptual frameworks, the proposed system is deployed and evaluated on the Ethereum and Polygon (Layer2) test networks. Further, the architecture integrates off-chain storage via IPFS to minimize gas consumption, while role-specific smart contracts ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance. To enhance trust and confidentiality, zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are incorporated for privacy-preserving answer verification, and decentralized identity (DID) standards are applied for student authentication. Experimental results demonstrate that Layer-2 deployment reduces transaction costs by up to 65% compared with Ethereum mainnet, and the system achieves stable throughput of 42 transactions per second (TPS) under simulated student workloads. Security validation using Slither and MythX confirms resistance to re-entrancy, double-spending, and unauthorized access attacks. The proposed framework establishes a quantifiable, fraud-resistant, and efficient academic assessment model, paving the way for scalable blockchain adoption in higher education.

Institutional framework for NFT governance in Indonesia: a proposal for a specialized NFT authority

Muhammad Ilman Abidin, Ahmad M. Ramli, Laina Rafianti

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have emerged as a transformative component of Indonesia’s digital economy, enabling new forms of value creation in art, culture and finance. However, the current regulatory framework remains fragmented, with overlapping responsibilities across financial, intellectual property, trade and digital communications authorities. This research adopts a combined normative juridical analysis (de lege lata) and institutional impact assessment (de lege ferenda), supported by comparative study of global regulatory approaches. The findings demonstrate that existing Indonesian regulations do not sufficiently address the unique characteristics of NFTs, particularly their hybrid nature as digital property, investment assets and instruments of electronic commerce. Additional challenges arise from cross-border transactions, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and the absence of clear enforcement mechanisms. To overcome these gaps, the study proposes a phased regulatory roadmap: in the short term, a joint decree among relevant ministries and agencies; in the medium term, a dedicated coordination desk under a coordinating ministry; and in the long term, the establishment of a specialized NFT authority. This staged approach balances flexibility with institutional strength, providing legal certainty, investor and creator protection, and alignment with international best practices. Ultimately, Indonesia can leverage NFT governance not only as a domestic legal innovation but also as a strategic opportunity to position itself as a regional hub for digital asset regulation in Southeast Asia.

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) Modeling for CNI Vulnerability Discovery: An Immutable Knowledge Base for Automated Infrastructure Hardening via Distributed Ledger Technology

Collin Arnold Kabwama, Osorachukwu Maurice Ayozie, Justin Njimgou Zeyeum, Adeniran Oluwatoyosi Awe · 6 authors

As Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) becomes increasingly digitized, traditional reactive security assessments are failing to keep pace with automated threats. This paper proposes an autonomous framework integrating Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for proactive vulnerability discovery and immutable infrastructure hardening. We utilize a Physics-Aware Wasserstein GAN to synthesize protocol-specific attack vectors that identify "zero-day" weaknesses in Industrial Control Systems (ICS) by exploring the operational state space of protocols like DNP3 and Modbus. Discovered vulnerabilities are committed to an Immutable Knowledge Base (IKB) on a sharded, permissioned blockchain, providing a "Single Source of Truth" for cross-sector threat intelligence. To automate mitigation, Smart Contracts orchestrate infrastructure hardening by validating patches through digital twin simulations before network-wide deployment. Experimental results using HELICS and NS-3 demonstrate that this architecture reduces the Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) from days to sub-second intervals. Finally, we address long-term security by incorporating Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to protect the ledger against emerging quantum threats.

Simulation-Based Benchmarking of Consensus Algorithms for Scalable Blockchain Networks

Priynka Sharma, P. Goswami

Blockchain technology relies on decentralized data management across various applications to ensure secure transactions. Consensus algorithms play a critical role in maintaining consistency and trust within decentralized environments, laying the groundwork for further exploration. This paper presents a simulation-based benchmarking framework for evaluating major consensus mechanisms Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), Proof of Authority (PoA), Proof of Capacity (PoC), Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT), Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), and Proof of Biometric Uniqueness (PoBU). A MATLAB-based simulation environment integrated with Docker-emulated blockchain nodes was developed to measure performance across several parameters, including throughput, latency, energy consumption, finality probability, fault tolerance, and resource requirements. Results show that DAG achieves the highest throughput (1600 TPS) and lowest latency (0.8 s), while PoBU offers strong fault tolerance (50%) and energy efficiency (60 J/tx). PBFT and PoA provide ultra-fast confirmations with limited decentralization, whereas PoW demonstrate poor scalability and energy efficiency. These findings highlight the potential for a unified benchmarking framework for consensus mechanisms and provide practical insights for selecting consensus protocols for specific blockchain applications.

This study analyzes how blockchain technology can be interpreted through an economic perspective, viewing network nodes as rational agents whose strategic behavior affects the efficiency and sustainability of decentralized systems. Using a multi-player non-cooperative game with complete but imperfect information, we model validators’ decisions in voting-based consensus mechanisms and compare alternative incentive configurations through simulation results. The analysis shows how variations in reward schemes influence validators’ behavior and consensus reliability. Extending the framework to Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), the study explores how blockchain-based incentives can enhance participation, accountability, and decentralized governance. The findings highlight that incentive design plays a decisive role in aligning individual motivations with collective goals, ensuring both network integrity and long-term sustainability. Overall, this study connects economic theory with blockchain governance, extending its relevance to business and organizational contexts beyond cryptocurrencies.
