Outline of Final Research Achievements

The goal of this research is to develop a resilient blockchain system for secure information sharing in disaster environment. We propose to use blockchain to enable decentralized information sharing with low-cost, high security and strong flexibility. To address special challenges of disaster environment, we further enhance existing blockchain techniques by developing many new features, e.g., resilient consensus protocols and light-weight blockchain nodes. The research results have been published in top international journals (e.g., IEEE TETC and IEEE JSAC) and conferences (e.g., IEEE INFOCOM).
