DESCRIPTION:*Hybrid event but in-person attendance encouraged - opportunity
  to meet and greet the distinguished lecturer as well as local IEEE ExCom 
 members!\n\nWith the prosperity of edge computing\, massive users and devi
 ces at the network edge are more actively involved in the networks\, pushi
 ng the information collection\, computation\, storage\, and communications
  more towards end users. 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: P3 Innovation Center\n\nSpeake
