Summary
This survey explores blockchain solutions for securing the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). It details how blockchain can prevent IP prefix hijacking and AS path manipulation, offering a decentralized alternative to current methods.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Network Security
- Distributed Systems
Background:
- The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is crucial for Internet routing but vulnerable to path manipulation attacks due to its trust-based nature.
- Existing security solutions like BGPsec with RPKI are centralized, posing single points of failure.
- Decentralized solutions, particularly those leveraging blockchain technology, have emerged as potential alternatives.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive survey of blockchain-based solutions for enhancing BGP security.
- To analyze the contributions and compare various blockchain approaches for BGP security.
- To explore the potential of blockchain in preventing IP prefix origination issues and AS path hijacking.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of blockchain projects applied to BGP security.
- Comparative analysis of different blockchain solutions based on technical contributions and security aspects.
- Identification and description of novel blockchain-based attacks targeting BGP.
Main Results:
- Blockchain offers a decentralized alternative to mitigate BGP vulnerabilities like IP prefix hijacking and AS path manipulation.
- The survey details the mechanisms and contributions of various blockchain solutions.
- New blockchain-specific attack vectors against BGP are identified and discussed.
Conclusions:
- Blockchain technology presents a promising avenue for securing BGP, offering decentralized resilience.
- Further research is needed to address open issues and fully realize the potential of blockchain in inter-domain routing security.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

01:27Types of Surveys

Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

01:11IP3/DAG Signaling Pathway
12.7K
Membrane lipids such as phosphatidylinositol (PI) are precursors for several membrane-bound and soluble second messengers. Specific kinases phosphorylate PI and produce phosphorylated inositol phospholipids. One such inositol phospholipids are the phosphatidylinositol-4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], present in the inner half of the lipid bilayer. Upon ligand binding, GPCR stimulates Gq proteins to turn on phospholipase Cꞵ. Activated phospholipase Cꞵ cleaves PI(4,5)P2 and...

GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

01:22Block Diagram Reduction
313
The process of deriving the transfer function of a control system often involves reducing its block diagram to a single block. This simplification can be achieved through a series of strategic operations, including relocating branch points and comparators. These operations preserve the overall function of the system while allowing for easier manipulation and combination of blocks.
The first step in this process is the identification and relocation of a branch point. A branch point, where a...

The fast decoupled power flow method addresses contingencies in power system operations, such as generator outages or transmission line failures. This method provides quick power flow solutions, essential for real-time system adjustments. Fast decoupled power flow algorithms simplify the Jacobian matrix by neglecting certain elements, leading to two sets of decoupled equations:
