Kuperberg, M..  2020.  Towards Enabling Deletion in Append-Only Blockchains to Support Data Growth Management and GDPR Compliance. 2020 IEEE International Conference on Blockchain (Blockchain). :393–400.
Conventional blockchain implementations with append-only semantics do not support deleting or overwriting data in confirmed blocks. However, many industry-relevant use cases require the ability to delete data, especially when personally identifiable information is stored or when data growth has to be constrained. Existing attempts to reconcile these contradictions compromise on core qualities of the blockchain paradigm, as they include backdoor-like approaches such as central authorities with elevated rights or usage of specialized chameleon hash algorithms in chaining of the blocks. The contribution of this paper is a novel architecture for the blockchain ledger and consensus, which uses a tree of context chains with simultaneous validity. A context chain captures the transactions of a closed group of entities and persons, thus structuring blocks in a precisely defined way. The resulting context isolation enables consensus-steered deletion of an entire context without side effects to other contexts. We show how this architecture supports truncation, data rollover and separation of concerns, how the GDPR regulations can be fulfilled by this architecture and how it differs from sidechains and state channels.

The privacy of people on internet is getting reduced day by day. Data records of many prestigious organizations are getting corrupted due to computer malwares. Computer viruses are becoming more advanced. Hackers are able penetrate into a network and able to manipulate data. In this paper, describes the types of malwares like Trojans, boot sector virus, polymorphic virus, etc., and some of the hacking techniques which include DOS attack, DDoS attack, brute forcing, man in the middle attack, social engineering, information gathering tools, spoofing, sniffing. Counter measures for cyber attacks include VPN, proxy, tor (browser), firewall, antivirus etc., to understand the need of cyber security.

Safar, Jamie L., Tummala, Murali, McEachen, John C., Bollmann, Chad.  2019.  Modeling Worm Propagation and Insider Threat in Air-Gapped Network using Modified SEIQV Model. 2019 13th International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Systems (ICSPCS). :1—6.
Computer worms pose a major threat to computer and communication networks due to the rapid speed at which they propagate. Biologically based epidemic models have been widely used to analyze the propagation of worms in computer networks. For an air-gapped network with an insider threat, we propose a modified Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Quarantined-Vaccinated (SEIQV) model called the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Quarantined-Patched (SEIQP) model. We describe the assumptions that apply to this model, define a set of differential equations that characterize the system dynamics, and solve for the basic reproduction number. We then simulate and analyze the parameters controlled by the insider threat to determine where resources should be allocated to attain different objectives and results.
