revolutionary technology in 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"><span></span></span></p>
