decentralized systems that enables secure decentralized transaction processing
while ensuring data privacy and authenticity. It is now playing a significant
role in several areas such the Internet of Things, supply-chain management,
manufacturing, cyber-physical systems, healthcare systems, and much more.
Unlike centralized transaction processing solutions, blockchain uses a
distributed ledger mechanism to record data transactions on multiple devices,
this will prevent data breach, identity theft, and a plethora of cyber-related
attacks, in essence, leading to a sustainability in data privacy and security.
This conference aims at to attract work of both researchers and practitioners
in the area of cyber-security to share and exchange their experiences and
research studies in both academia and industry in the field of blockchain.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Source Sans Pro",sans-serif"></span></p>
