International Journal of Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (IJITST)

Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Performance analysis of consensus protocols in distributed systems   Order a copy of this article
    by D. Sumathi, T. Poongodi, Ramasamy Lakshmana Kumar, Balamurugan Balusamy 
    Abstract: Consensus algorithms play the significant role in any blockchain system since it has to prove its performance and security. Hence, there is a need to identify the curbs of various consensus algorithms. The features of several kinds of blockchain systems rely on the consensus techniques. A detailed analysis of the algorithms has been done which might throw the limelight to researchers to devise a novel consensus algorithm. Issues due to the adoption of the consensus and solutions to overcome have been discussed. The main contribution of this work is to provide a deep insight into the consensus algorithms and its properties. There are several metrics considerations for evaluating the performance of consensus protocols. Additionally, the energy consumption of Bitcoin and Ethereum of several countries has also been presented in this work. Finally, the most commonly used consensus algorithm has been analysed along with its variant information.
    Keywords: blockchain; consensus algorithms; cryptocurrency; Bitcoin; Ethereum.

  • Security of internet of vehicles in smart cities: authentication and confidentiality aspects   Order a copy of this article
    by Roumissa Sahbi, Salim Ghanemi, Mohamed Amine Ferrag 
    Abstract: With the rapid development of smart devices, communication technologies, and network elements, vehicles become more autonomous, more connected, and more intelligent. Internet of vehicles (IoV) is a new area of the internet of things (IoT) equipped with powerful multi sensors platform, connectivity and communication technologies. The communication and the cooperation between vehicles and different IoT objects can increase security risks and make vehicles more vulnerable to serious attacks (authentication attacks, confidentiality attacks, availability attacks, routing attacks, and data authenticity attacks). In this paper, we propose security schemes to detect and prevent attacks in IoV system using software defined network (SDN) and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC); first, we identify IoV concepts, then we design a network model which illustrates the global IoV architecture, after that we propose an authentication and confidentiality schemes. Finally, we provide formal and informal proof to demonstrate that our schemes can resist against various attacks.
    Keywords: internet of things; IoT; internet of vehicles; IoV; network model; security; authentication; confidentiality; attacks.
