Talk Title :Towards transparent and trustworthy agri-food supply chain. Abstract : The talk will address the approach the H2020 DEMETER project used to address the creation of a transparent and trustworthy agrifood supply chain. Combining farm management/decision support tools, a product passport solution, and a decentralized knowledge graph-based framework, a traceable and trustworthy record of the important farm-to-fork events was created.

Talk Title : Convergence of Blockchain and IPv6 - Creation of a Universal Public Digital Infrastructure Abstract : The convergence of Blockchain technology and new Internet ,IPv6 has a great potential for creation of a universal public digital infrastructure which will be Open, Accessible, Secured, Accountable and Affordable. This paper describes the underlying attributes of these two technologies synergising together as described below: 1. Decentralization and Security: Blockchain technology is built on the principles of decentralization and cryptographic security. By integrating Blockchain with IPv6 which enables secured P2P communication, one could potentially create a more secure and decentralized and trusted Internet infrastructure. Each device connected to the IPv6 network could have a unique blockchain-based identity that's tamper-proof and verifiable. This could enhance security by reducing the risks of unauthorized access and cyberattacks. 2. Decentralized DNS: The Domain Name System (DNS) could be decentralized using Blockchain. Traditional DNS is vulnerable to attacks and censorship. By incorporating Blockchain's consensus mechanism, DNS records could be stored on a distributed ledger, reducing the central points of failure and making it more resilient and fast.
3. Secure Data Transmission: The integration of Blockchain with IPv6 will also enable secure peer-to-peer communication and data transmission. Blockchain's encryption capabilities could be used to ensure that data sent between devices remains private and tamper-proof, enhancing privacy and doing away the need for centralized intermediaries.
4. Micropayments and Monetization: Blockchain's capability for facilitating microtransactions and its integration with IPv6 could lead to new ways of monetizing online content and services. Content creators could receive small payments directly from consumers, bypassing the need for intermediaries and potentially doing away with ad-based revenue models.
5. IoT and Supply Chain Management: The Internet of Things (IoT) could also benefit from the convergence of Blockchain and IPv6. IPv6's vast address space could accommodate the growing number of IoT devices, and Blockchain's transparency and immutability could be leveraged for secure and transparent supply chain management.
6. Decentralized Applications (DApps): The combination of Blockchain and IPv6 could foster the development of decentralized applications. These DApps could leverage Blockchain's Smart Contract attribute to create self-executing agreements and automated processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing the need for intermediaries.
7. Global Identity Management: The convergence of Blockchain and IPv6 could lead to the creation of a universal, self-sovereign identity system. Individuals could control their own digital identities, reducing the risks of identity theft and enhancing privacy.
8.Data Ownership and Privacy: Blockchain's capability to provide transparent and auditable data ownership records could help users have ownership, monetisation and better control over their data. This could lead to improved data privacy practices and increased trust between users and online services.
However, there are challenges to overcome as well, Blockchain faces scalability challenge, and Blockchain's inherent consensus mechanisms can still be resource-intensive, IPV6 also has its own complexities. Integrating these two complex technologies would require innovative design and engineering, The convergence will need to navigate through the regulatory and governance hurdels, particularly regarding data sovereignty, jurisdiction and legal frameworks for decentralized applications.
The main aim of this work is the holistic study that focuses on attacking and profiling the cryptographic primitives that we have built using logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), Gaussian mixture models (GMM), K-means , K-means++, random forest, optimized distributed gradient boosting model (XGBoost) models in addition to neural networks (using SMOTE data oversampling). We have achieved our evaluation results in efficient time, and data complexity. We investigate performance improvement by combining an ensemble of machine learning models, thereby providing a machine learning model with high levle of generalization. In this work, our contribution is two-fold, we reduce the class distribution imbalance by dataset over-sampling methods and optimize the selection of ensemble of machine learning models thereby improving the model generalization for profiling attack.
