Research on trusted closed loop management of the whole process of service evaluation based on blockchain

Guoyao Wu, Fan Pan, Minyu Luo, Zhiqiang Lan · 5 authors

Conventional service evaluation systems are increasingly plagued by data opacity, susceptibility to tampering, and delayed feedback loops, which erode stakeholder trust and hinder effective quality governance. To address these critical challenges, this study proposes and empirically validates a blockchain-enabled framework for trusted closed-loop management of the entire service evaluation process. The proposed architecture synergizes distributed ledger technology, autonomous smart contracts, and a dynamic Bayesian trust scoring model to achieve real-time data verification, automated corrective feedback, and adaptive trust computation. We analyzed a comprehensive dataset of 1,200 service interactions across the hospitality, healthcare, and e-commerce sectors, characterized by customer satisfaction scores ranging from 5.1 to 9.8, reliability indices between 0.72 and 0.96, and normalized positive interaction frequencies from 0.42 to 0.89. Empirical results demonstrate that the integration of the blockchain framework significantly elevated mean trust scores from 0.71 (± 0.12) to 0.88 (± 0.09), representing a statistically significant 23.7% improvement. Furthermore, the system reduced the variance in satisfaction ratings by 0.48 and lowered overall service discrepancy rates by up to 15.4%. Sector-specific dynamic weight adjustments yielded optimized outcomes, including a 7.4% increase in reliability for healthcare and a 6.3% improvement in consistency for hospitality. Comparative analysis reveals that while conventional digital evaluation systems typically achieve only 5–12% performance gains, our blockchain-based approach substantially enhances trust, accuracy, and process transparency. Crucially, the closed-loop mechanism facilitated timely interventions, reducing critical service deviations by 17.5% in healthcare and 15.4% in e-commerce. These findings offer robust theoretical validation and practical guidelines for deploying transparent, accountable, and adaptive service evaluation ecosystems in diverse industrial contexts.

Trusted Preservation and Traceability Mechanism of Electronic Evidence Chain for Forensic Medical Imaging

Weiwei Zhao, Xiangbin Zuo, Ying Deng, Huanhuan Ding

Electronic evidence of forensic medical images plays a key role in forensic identification. The existing deposit technology is difficult to cope with the dual challenges of image format change and AI forgery, and the fusion mechanism of digital watermarking and blockchain has the problems of robustness and traceability accuracy imbalance. This article proposes a dynamic trusted certificate storage system that integrates deep learning perceptual hash and alliance chain. A semantic hash generation network based on multi-scale frequency domain features is designed, and a lightweight intelligent contract architecture optimized by SM2/SM3 algorithm of state secrets is established. The full link traceability is realized by combining adaptive frequency domain and time domain nested watermarking algorithms. Experiments show that under the attacks of Gaussian noise, JPEG compression and geometric deformation, the Hamming distance of the hash is stable within 3 bits, which is better than the mutation of more than 30 bits in the traditional cryptographic hash. When the rotation is 10, the false recognition rate is less than 1%, and the sample collision probability is maintained at a very low order of magnitude; When the watermark embedding strength increases, the PSNR remains above 45 dB, and the normalized cross-correlation coefficient is higher than 0.92 under the condition of JPEG compression quality of 70. In the alliance chain scenario, the consensus delay of 30 nodes is 180 ms, and the delay rises to 320ms after the expansion of 100 nodes, and the system throughput is not significantly attenuated. In this study, the synergy between robustness, transparency and traceability efficiency is optimized, which can provide a reference technical scheme for judicial acceptance of forensic electronic evidence chain.

Blockchain, Internet of Medical Things and Artificial Intelligence based Medical Image Processing for Alzheimer Patient Monitoring

B Santhosh Kumar, P. Penchala Prasad, M. Raghavendra Reddy

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of individuals worldwide, making early diagnosis through Magnetic Resonance Imaging a significant clinical necessity. Existing medical image analysis techniques often suffer from limitations associated with inadequate preprocessing, reduced sensitivity to subtle abnormalities in the hippocampus and cortex, poor generalization across heterogeneous MRI acquisition systems, and insufficient mechanisms for secure medical data management. To address these challenges, this research proposes an integrated framework combining the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), Artificial Intelligence, and blockchain technology for secure and efficient Alzheimer’s disease monitoring. The proposed framework employs Feature Pooling VGG16 (FPVGG16) for discriminative feature extraction, while feature selection is optimized using the Wave Search Binary Waterwheel Plant Optimization algorithm. Subsequently, a feature-selective Coordinated Xception-based Convolutional Spatial Network (CXCSN) is utilized for accurate disease classification. Blockchain technology is incorporated to provide secure, tamper-resistant, and privacy-preserving management of patient information and MRI records. Experimental evaluations conducted on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, achieving accuracies of 99.31% and 99.21%, precisions of 99.28% and 99.25%, and recalls of 99.18% and 99.14 %, respectively. The results indicate that the proposed framework provides an effective solution for secure, reliable, and highly accurate Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and monitoring.

Exploring the Path of Digital Finance Empowering Green Transformation of Energy Enterprises Under the Dual-Carbon Goals

Xingchen Zhou

Under the dual carbon targets, China's energy companies are speeding up their green transformation, but they usually encounter some common obstacles including lack of capital, weak technical assistance and an incomplete risk control system. The combination of digital technology and financial services provides new approaches to solve these problems. According to the specific characteristics of the transformation of energy enterprises, this research examines the mechanisms of digital finance from two aspects – financing enhancement and technological enhancement. It is found that methods such as digital green loans, bonds and equity financing can efficiently relieve the financial pressure of enterprises, while technologies like big data, blockchain and artificial intelligence can greatly improve the accuracy of emission reduction and the efficiency of energy operation. Furthermore, the enhancing effects have regional differences and threshold characteristics. Thus, countermeasures are put forward from four fields: improving service provision, deepening technological integration, setting up a risk management system and improving policy regulation, which offer guidance for the actual transformation of energy enterprises and the development of relevant policies.

Social Network Privacy Protection Based on Differential Privacy Technology and Community Discovery Algorithm

Xia Wu

The high aggregation of user relationship and behavioral data in social networks continues to aggravate privacy leaks. How to strike a balance between privacy protection and data availability has become a research hotspot. To collaboratively optimize user information security and community structure identification, this study proposes a social network privacy protection model that integrates differential privacy technology and community discovery algorithms. First, a differential privacy noise injection mechanism is constructed to perturb node data and combine it with blockchain storage to ensure that the data cannot be tampered with. Then, a community division strategy based on information entropy and mutual information is introduced to achieve high-precision community identification through modularity optimization. The accuracy of the proposed model reached 98.1% when the data set size was 800, which was about 3.4% and 9% higher than that of other models, respectively. The root mean square error was 8.2, which was about 20% lower than that of the traditional model. The convergence speed was increased to 380 iterations, which was about 15% faster than that of the comparison algorithm. The privacy protection strength and scalability scores reached 9.3 and 9.5, respectively. The simulation test results showed that, under different data types, the accuracy of the model grew from 0.87 to 0.98, and the F1 value grew from 0.84 to 0.95. The integration of differential privacy and community discovery effectively improves the privacy protection strength and structural analysis accuracy of social networks, providing a highly feasible solution for multi-scenario social data security analysis.

Application of b-Local Irregular Vertex Coloring in Blockchain Architecture for Horticultural Supply Chain Transparency

Authors unavailable

Ensuring transparency and traceability in horticultural supply chains is difficult due to complex logistics, seasonal variability, and multiple intermediaries.We propose a framework that couples b-local irregular vertex coloring (b-LIVC) with a blockchain architecture to enable end-to-end verification of production and trade.On the Jember Regency subdistrict graph, we compute the b-local irregular chromatic number and obtain χ b-lis (J) = 6, yielding six planting color classes that schedule sowing and harvests to distribute output across the year.The local irregularity induces distinct neighborhood weights, which we use as cryptographic features for unique, verifiable batch identifiers.We implement the pipeline on a public blockchain: harvest lots are tokenized as video NFTs with QR links to a verification page and on-chain records.The integration of discrete mathematics and distributed ledgers provides auditable provenance and transaction history, practical scheduling that reduces harvest clustering, and a low-overhead mechanism for farmer-level transparency.
