Apply Blockchain to Overcome Wi-Fi Vulnerabilities
Seong-Kyu Kim · Journal of Multimedia Information System · 2019
This paper, wireless internet such as Wi-Fi has a vulnerability to security.Blockchain also means a 'Ledger' in which transaction information that occurs on a public or private network is encrypted and shared among the network participants.Blockchain maintains information integrity by making it impossible for a particular node to tamper with information arbitrarily, a feature that would result in changes in the overall blockchain hash value if any one transaction information that constitutes a block was changed.The complete sharing of information through a peer-to-peer network will also cripple hacking attempts from outside, targeting specialized nodes, and prepare for the "single point of failure" risk of the entire system being shut down.Due to the value of these Blockchain, various types of Blockchain are emerging, and related technology development efforts are also actively underway.Various business models such as public block chains such as Bitcoin, as well as private block chains that allow only certain authorized nodes to participate, or consortium block chains operated by a select few licensed groups, are being utilized.In terms of technological evolution, Blockchain also shows the potential to grow beyond cryptocurrency into an online platform that allows all kinds of transactions with the advent of 'Smart Contract'.By using Blockchain technology, the company makes suggestions to overcome the vulnerability of wireless Internet.
