A security testing mechanism for detecting attacks in distributed software applications using blockchain.

Distributed software applications are one of the most important applications currently used. Rising demand has led to a rapid increase in the number and complexity of distributed software applications. Such applications are also more vulnerable to different types of attacks due to their distributed nature.

Attribute based honey encryption algorithm for securing big data: Hadoop distributed file system perspective.

Hadoop has become a promising platform to reliably process and store big data. It provides flexible and low cost services to huge data through Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) storage. Unfortunately, absence of any inherent security mechanism in Hadoop increases the possibility of malicious attacks on the data processed or stored through Hadoop.
