Studying blockchain as a secure and decentralized foundation for data integrity, trust, and digital transactions in cybersecurity contexts.
Blockchain is a key research area in cybersecurity, focused on leveraging distributed ledger technology to enhance the security and reliability of digital systems. This topic covers the design and implementation of tamper-resistant data structures, consensus mechanisms, and cryptographic protocols that enable secure transactions without centralized control. Research explores use cases such as identity verification, secure data sharing, smart contract enforcement, and supply chain integrity. As reliance on decentralized systems grows across sectors, blockchain presents a robust foundation for building trust in environments where data authenticity, immutability, and transparency are critical.
