Security Emerging Technologies Assignment

Part 1:

Report (8-10 pages)

Select a DLT-based solution (Facebook’s Diem, or IBM’s supply chain management, CBDC, or ……)

1. Present the problem (why DLT is used)
2. Summarize the existing DLT-based solution
3. Show the pros and cons of DLT adoption in the solution
4. Identify some new directions

Part 2:

• Report content: The report must (1) summarise in 5-10 lines the content of the paper; (2) discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the paper; (3) provide your own argumented assessment of the originality, practicality of the idea; (4) discuss the soundness of the approach and the extent of the evaluation.
• Output method: every learner will produce a 1-page report on his review of a selected research paper at Usenix Security 2023 or Security & Privacy 2023 conferences.
