SCOPE:

As blockchain technology continues to gain importance in various sectors, the need for secure and reliable blockchain systems is becoming increasingly urgent. Despite growing awareness of the potential of blockchain technology, security remains a major concern.

Although more and more people recognize the significance of blockchain technology, security in blockchain systems remains an important and open issue. This field requires robust tools and methodologies to protect data and ensure the integrity of distributed systems.

International Workshop on Blockchain Security which will be held in conjunction with the 14th International Conference on Emerging Ubiquitous Systems and Pervasive Networks (EUSPN) look into in rising issues and open doors for security and privacy in blockchain systems. Further, it tends to new methodologies and procedures to improve the abilities for ensuring better services.

We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to submit their original contributions to the workshop and participate in this exciting event.

PUBLICATION:

All IWBCS-2023 accepted papers will be included in the EUSPN 2023 proceedings, which will be published by Elsevier. The authors must follow Elsevier guidelines as given in EUSPN 2023 Website. The number of pages for workshop papers is limited to 6 pages.

TOPICS:

-Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to:

-Secure consensus protocols for blockchain systems
