Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly embedded in intelligent systems across domains such as healthcare, finance, and smart infrastructure. However, their reliance on centralized data pipelines raises unresolved challenges concerning provenance, accountability, and verifiable trust. As the demand for transparent and regulation-aligned AI grows, these challenges have become central to the responsible deployment of intelligent systems. This review examines how blockchain technology can address them by introducing decentralized integrity, immutable audit trails, and cryptographic verification into the LLM lifecycle. Through a structured synthesis of current research, we identify conceptual and architectural gaps that limit trustworthy data management, inference authentication, and …

Efficiently matching patients to clinical trials is essential for advancing medical research and ensuring reliable outcomes. However, current matching methods face several challenges. These include data integrity issues from tampered records, privacy risks caused by weak anonymization, and manual processes that delay recruitment. In addition, centralized systems lack transparency, expose sensitive patient data to security vulnerabilities, and suffer from single points of failure that reduce resilience and trust. In this paper, we propose a blockchain and Large Language Models (LLMs)-driven solution for secure, trustworthy, traceable, decentralized, and transparent patient-clinical trial matching. Blockchain ensures data integrity, security, and transparency by eliminating …

Greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprints have surged dramatically, with the transportation industry being a major contributor. While the UN aims to adopt zero-emission vehicles by 2040, the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) raises sustainability concerns about sourcing earth metals for batteries. Digital passports have emerged to track a product's lifecycle, composition, certifications, origin, and recyclability. However, existing EV battery passport systems lack sufficient traceability, immutability, auditability, and are prone to manipulation due to their centralized nature. In this paper, we propose a decentralized blockchain-based digital passport for EV batteries using composable Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to ensure traceable, tamper-proof records …
Using Machine Learning And Blockchain For Trusted Detection And Monitoring Of Excessive Working Hours In Factories, Diana Hawashin, Khaled Salah, Raja Jayaraman, Ibrar Yaqoob
Using Machine Learning And Blockchain For Trusted Detection And Monitoring Of Excessive Working Hours In Factories, Diana Hawashin, Khaled Salah, Raja Jayaraman, Ibrar Yaqoob
Industrial Engineering: Faculty & Staff Publications
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance emphasizes the importance of managing working hours to protect the rights of workers. Excessive hours pose serious health risks, which highlights the need for robust detection and reporting systems. However, many of today's systems, methods, and technologies used for managing labor hours lack traceability, auditability, accountability, and trust. Additionally, they are centralized and manual or paper-based, which makes them vulnerable to manipulation as they are controlled by a limited number of entities. In this paper, we present a machine learning and blockchain-based solution to automate the detection of excessive …
Zero-Knowledge Proofs For Anonymous Authentication Of Patients On Public And Private Blockchains, Mohammad Madine, Khaled Salah, Raja Jayaraman, Ibrar Yaqoob
Zero-Knowledge Proofs For Anonymous Authentication Of Patients On Public And Private Blockchains, Mohammad Madine, Khaled Salah, Raja Jayaraman, Ibrar Yaqoob
Industrial Engineering: Faculty & Staff Publications
In recent years, the healthcare sector has been increasingly challenged in securing patient identities and medical records on blockchain due to rising privacy demands and strict regulatory requirements. Although advanced techniques like self-sovereign identity and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) show promise, these solutions fail to limit unwarranted patient data disclosure effectively. In this paper, we propose a ZKP-based solution that combines STARKs and anonymous credentials to enable anonymous authentication and enhance privacy across both public and private blockchains. Leveraging transparent ZKP schemes and anonymous credentials, our approach ensures unlinkability by preventing the correlation of multiple patient interactions. We present sequence diagrams …
Blockchain-Based Solution To Enhance Carbon Footprint Traceability, Accounting, And Offsetting In The Passenger Aviation Industry, Pratyush Kumar Patro, Raja Jayaraman, Adolf Acquaye, Khaled Salah, Ahmad Musamih
Blockchain-Based Solution To Enhance Carbon Footprint Traceability, Accounting, And Offsetting In The Passenger Aviation Industry, Pratyush Kumar Patro, Raja Jayaraman, Adolf Acquaye, Khaled Salah, Ahmad Musamih
Industrial Engineering: Faculty & Staff Publications
The aviation industry's carbon emissions are forecast to rise to 22% by 2050, posing a significant challenge to the goal of achieving Net Zero Emissions by the same year. Regardless of the structural or agentic strategies implemented to reduce these emissions, ensuring effective traceability of emissions in airline operations is crucial, as it enables the development of effective mitigation measures. Existing systems fall short of effectively providing end-to-end traceability of emissions within an effective carbon accounting framework. Indirect emissions and the complexities associated with emissions tracking throughout the extended aviation sector also exacerbate carbon accounting and offsetting difficulties. In this …

Traditional health insurance claim processing systems are plagued by inefficiencies and vulnerabilities, often resulting in significant financial losses due to fraudulent activities. Existing fraud detection methods are largely manual, time-consuming, and inadequate for handling the complexity and scale of modern fraudulent schemes. Moreover, the trust-based relationships between insurers and healthcare providers lack mechanisms to ensure data integrity and prevent manipulation. While several blockchain-based systems have been proposed to improve transparency and tamper resistance, they typically focus on structured data and predefined fraud types, offering limited adaptability and analytical insight. This paper proposes a novel solution leveraging blockchain technology and Large …

Child labor has been on the rise in recent years, which necessitates improved identification and reporting mechanisms. Current labor management systems, which are often manual or article-based, lack traceability, audit, privacy, security, and trust features. This leads to challenges in detecting and reporting violations, particularly in large or remote areas. The persistence of this issue undermines the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights the important role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in addressing this challenge. Our article proposes a solution combining machine learning and blockchain to automate child labor detection and ensure traceable, auditable, private, and secure reporting. …

Digital Twin And Cybersecurity In Additive Manufacturing, Lidong Wang
Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice
Additive manufacturing (AM) has been applied to automotive, aerospace, medical sectors, etc., but there are still challenges such as parts’ porosity, cracks, surface roughness, intrinsic anisotropy, and residual stress because of the high level of thermal gradient. It is significant to conduct the modeling and simulation of the AM process and achieve quality products. Digital Twin (DT) can help AM with forecasting defects/errors through simulation and real-time process monitoring. DT is a concept of Industry 4.0, and its digital structure reflects the real-time behaviors of a cyber-physical or physical system. This paper introduces the progress of DT applications in AM, …
