Blockchain-Based Data Security in Heterogeneous Communications Networks

This book investigates data security approaches in Heterogeneous Communications Networks (HCN). First, the book discusses the urgent need for a decentralized data management architecture in HCN. The book investigates preliminaries and related research to help readers obtain a comprehensive picture of the research topic. Second, the book presents three blockchain-based approaches for data management in HCN: data provenance, data query, and data marketing. Finally, based on the insights and experiences from the presented approaches, the book discusses future research directions. - Discusses the need for decentralized data security approaches in heterogeneous communications networks (HCN); - Presents solutions applicable and practical for real-world applications; - Investigates HCN data security approaches such as reliable data provenance, transparent data query, and fair data marketing.
