  • CR Letter to Senate on Libra
    United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs 534 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 July 1, 2019 Re: Facebook Digital Currency, Data Privacy Dear Chairman Crapo and Ranking Member Brown: Consumer Reports1 thanks the Committee for calling a hearing this month examining Facebook’s proposed digital currency. We have grave concerns about the launch of the Libra ​ cryptocurrency. The Libra proposal is fraught with problems, and raises concerns about competition and market concentration, monetary policy, compliance with Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering rules, and other critical issues. In this letter, we focus on two issues of direct concern to consumers: the lack of consumer protections for cryptocurrency and Facebook’s inability to be a trusted steward of user data. Specifically, the US lacks a strong legal framework to ensure consumer protections and marketplace integrity for cryptocurrency, and Facebook’s long track record of poor privacy practices and repeated illegal actions call into question their ability to lead this effort, even if temporarily. The United States has no clear legal or regulatory framework in place for cryptocurrency. At both the state and federal levels there are different, and in some cases conflicting, approaches. For federal tax purposes, the Internal Revenue Service treats cryptocurrency transactions as property.2 The Commodities Futures Trading Commission has indicated that at 1 Consumer Reports is an expert, independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to work for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves. Consumers Reports works for pro-consumer policies in the areas of financial services and marketplace practices, antitrust and competition policy, privacy and data security, food and product safety, telecommunications and technology, travel, and other consumer issues in Washington, DC, in the states, and in the marketplace.

  • A Lightweight Hash-Based Blockchain Architecture for Industrial Iot
    applied sciences Article A Lightweight Hash-Based Blockchain Architecture for Industrial IoT Byoungjin Seok , Jinseong Park and Jong Hyuk Park * Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Seoul National University of Science and Technology, Gongneung-ro, Nowon-gu, Seoul 01811, Korea; [email protected] (B.S.); [email protected] (J.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-02-970-6702 Received: 27 May 2019; Accepted: 4 September 2019; Published: 7 September 2019 Abstract: Blockchain is a technology that can ensure data integrity in a distributed network, and it is actively applied in various fields. Recently, blockchain is gaining attention due to combining with the Internet of Things (IoT) technology in the industrial field. Moreover, many researchers have proposed the Industrial IoT (IIoT) architecture with blockchain for data integrity and efficient management. The IIoT network consists of many heterogeneous devices (e.g., sensors, actuators, and programmable logic controllers (PLC)) with resources-constrained, and the availability of the network must be preferentially considered. Therefore, applying the existed blockchain technology is still challenging. There are some results about the technique of constructing blockchain lightly to solve this challenge. However, in these results, the analysis in perspective of cryptographic performance (area, throughput, and power consumption) has not been considered sufficiently, or only focused on the architecture of the blockchain network. The blockchain technology is based on cryptographic techniques, and the main part is a cryptographic hash function. Therefore, if we construct the blockchain-based IIoT architecture, we have to consider the performance of the hash function. Many lightweight hash functions have been proposed recently for the resource-constrained environment, and it can also be used to the blockchain.

  • A Novel Medical Blockchain Model for Drug Supply Chain Integrity Management in a Smart Hospital
    electronics Article A Novel Medical Blockchain Model for Drug Supply Chain Integrity Management in a Smart Hospital Faisal Jamil 1 , Lei Hang 1 , KyuHyung Kim 2 and DoHyeun Kim 1,* 1 Department of Computer Engineering, Jeju National University, Jejusi 63243, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, Korea; [email protected] (F.J.); [email protected] (L.H.) 2 Daegu-Gyeongbuk Research Center, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute, Daegu-si 42994, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 4 April 2019; Accepted: 26 April 2019; Published: 7 May 2019 Abstract: At present, in pharmacology one of the most serious problems is counterfeit drugs. The Health Research Funding organization reported that in developing countries, nearly 10–30% of the drugs are fake. Counterfeiting is not the main issue itself, but, rather, the fact that, as compared to traditional drugs, these counterfeit drugs produce different side effects to human health. According to WHO, around 30% of the total medicine sold in Africa, Asia, and Latin America is counterfeit. This is the major worldwide problem, and the situation is worse in developing countries, where one out of every 10 medicines are either fake or do not follow drug regulations. The rise of Internet pharmacies has made it more difficult to standardize drug safety. It is difficult to detect counterfeits because these drugs pass through different complex distributed networks, thus forming opportunities for counterfeits to enter the authentic supply chain. The safety of the pharmaceutical supply chain has become a major concern for public health, which is a collective process.

    [CLASSY BUSINESS ACADEMY] LECTURE NOTE 1. MEANING & HISTORY OF BLOCKCHAIN Blockchain is defined as a decentralized peer to peer digital ledger of cryptocurrency transactions that is secured, duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems. The blockchain system records information in a way that makes it impossible to change, cheat or hack the system. History of Blockchain Technology It is important for every Blockchain enthusiasts and aspirants to know about the history of Blockchain and how it has evolved overtime. Blockchain technology was first outlined by Stuart Haber and W. Scott Stornetta, the two researchers envisioned what many people have come to know as blockchain, in 1991. They implemented a system of working on a cryptographically secured chain of blocks whereby no one could tamper with timestamps of documents. We can actually say that Blockchain was invented in 1991. In 1992, they upgraded their system to incorporate Merkle trees that enhanced efficiency thereby enabling the collection of more documents on a single block. However, it is in 2008 that Blockchain History starts to gain relevance, thanks to the work one person or group by the name Satoshi Nakamoto did. Satoshi Nakamoto is accredited as the brain behind blockchain technology. Very little is known about Nakamoto as people believe he could be a person or a group of people that worked on Bitcoin, the first application of the digital ledger technology. Nakamoto conceptualized the first blockchain in 2008 from where the technology has evolved and found its way into many applications beyond cryptocurrencies. Satoshi Nakamoto released the first whitepaper about the technology in 2009.

  • Which Cryptocurrencies Are Mostly Traded in Distressed Times?
    Journal of Risk and Financial Management Article Which Cryptocurrencies Are Mostly Traded in Distressed Times? Nikolaos A. Kyriazis * and Paraskevi Prassa Department of Economics, University of Thessaly, 28th October 78 Street, 38333 Volos, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 July 2019; Accepted: 14 August 2019; Published: 20 August 2019 Abstract: This paper investigates the level of liquidity of digital currencies during the very intense bearish phase in their markets. The data employed span the period from April 2018 until January 2019, which is the second phase of bearish times with almost constant decreases. The Amihud’s illiquidity ratio is employed in order to measure the liquidity of these digital assets. Findings indicate that the most popular cryptocurrencies exhibit higher levels of liquidity during stressed periods. Thereby, it is revealed that investors’ preferences for trading during highly risky times are favorable for well-known virtual currencies in the detriment of less-known ones. This enhances findings of relevant literature about strong and persistent positive or negative herding behavior of investors based on Bitcoin, Ethereum and highly-capitalized cryptocurrencies in general. Notably though, a tendency towards investing in the TrueUSD stablecoin has also emerged. Keywords: Bitcoin; cryptocurrency; liquidity JEL Classification: E44; G11; G12; G15 1. Introduction Bitcoin and other digital currencies have spurred interest for research since late 2016 due to their increasing attractiveness as an investment tool. This has brought about a proliferating bulk of high-quality relevant academic papers (inter alia: Dyhrberg 2016a, 2016b; Katsiampa 2017; Corbet et al. 2018, 2019; Beneki et al. 2019; Kyriazis 2019). Cryptocurrencies are highly innovative means of transactions that have gained increasing popularity among investors and especially speculators seeking high profits, despite risk.
