In these more decentralized systems\, how to enab le efficient and trustworthy interactions among different parties becomes an essential issue.\n\nBlockchain has been considered as a promising appro ach to facilitate the establishment of decentralized trustworthy computing systems with non-repudiated information records. For example\, Bitcoin ha s attracted wide attention as a secure and decentralized platform to enabl e peer-to-peer exchanges of digital currency. Ethereum then generalizes bl ockchain as a state machine and enables smart contracts\, a piece of code that can support complex logic and be self-executed when certain condition s are met. Such generalization enables blockchain to potentially serve as a computing infrastructure and opens new opportunities for blockchain to f acilitate secure and decentralized interactions among any parties without making high trust assumptions about them.\n\nIn this talk\, we will discus s some key characteristics of blockchain and a few promising applications of blockchain that can facilitate security and trust among multiple partie s. Some examples include designing a secure and efficient multi-signature scheme to facilitate multi-party approval process on Fabric\, an enterpris e blockchain platform\; applying blockchain to secure software updates for resource-constrained IoT networks\; and to facilitate fair trading in tra nsactive energy market.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Open Research Institute\n\nSpe aker(s): Prof. Yuhong Liu\n\nAgenda: \n- 2:30pm - 3:00pm: Coffee + Meet an d Greet with the guest.\n- 3:00pm-4:00pm:\n- Invited talk from Dr. Yuhong Liu\, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engine ering at Santa Clara University and IEEE Computer Society Distinguished Le cturer.\n- Q/A Session\n\n- 4:00pm-4:30pm: More coffee\, snacks and social ization :)\n\nRoom: Auditorium\, Bldg: Building Q\, 6455 Lusk Blvd\, San D iego\, California\, United States\, 92121\, Virtual: https://events.vtools .ieee.org/m/418529 LOCATION:Room: Auditorium\, Bldg: Building Q\, 6455 Lusk Blvd\, San Diego\, California\, United States\, 92121\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee. org/m/418529 ORGANIZER:mountain.michelle@gmail.com SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:Facilitating Security and Trust among Multiple Parties through Bloc kchain Techniques URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418529 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>*Hybrid event but in-person attendance enc ouraged - opportunity to meet and greet the distinguished lecturer as well as local IEEE ExCom members! &nbsp\;</p>\n<p>With the prosperity of edge computing\, massive users and devices at the network edge are more activel y involved in the networks\, pushing the information collection\, computat ion\, storage\, and communications more towards end users.
