	abstract = {Reputation management systems are essential for establishing trust among network users. They are tools for reinforcing cooperation and sanctioning malicious behavior. Their importance becomes a requirement in highly mobile and volatile environments, such as vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANET). In the present work, we propose a dynamic and decentralized reputation system that fits VANET characteristics like dynamism and volatility without conceding on security. The novel system uses blockchain for reputation information aggregation and storage and secure multiparty computation (SMC) to achieve privacy. Unlike previous VANET reputation systems, our system does not rely on a central authority to evaluate trustworthiness. Instead, it limits its role to maintaining the blockchain and system integrity leaving reputation evaluation to peers. It preserves feedback privacy in the presence of up to n - 2 dishonest parties and shows good performance. Remarkably, our system takes advantage of the infrastructure of VANET when vehicles are nearby while remaining fully functional in extra-urban areas. {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The fulfillment of unmet needs for contraception can help women reach their reproductive goals. Therefore, there is a growing concern worldwide about contraception and women{\textquoteright}s knowledge of making an advised choice about it. In this aspect, an outgrown number of apps are now available providing information concerning contraception whether it concerns natural contraception or modern contraception. However, vast amounts of these apps contain inaccurate sexual health facts and non-evidence-based information concerning contraception. On these bases, and in respect to: (1) the needs of women to effectively prevent unintended pregnancies while conducting a stress-free healthy lifestyle. (2) the World Health Organization (WHO) Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) for contraception{\textquoteright}s recommendations, and (3) the results/recommendations of a field study conducted in the reproductive health center {\textquoteleft}Les Orangers{\textquoteright} in Rabat to collect the app{\textquoteright}s requirements, we developed an evidence-based patient-centered contraceptive app referred to as {\textquoteleft}MyContraception{\textquoteright}. Thereafter, we conducted a set of functional tests to ensure that the MyContraception solution is performing as expected and is conform to the software functional requirements previously set before moving to non-functional requirements evaluation. Since customer{\textquoteright}s feedback is valuable to non-functional testing, we choose to evaluate potential users{\textquoteright} feedback. Moreover, giving that mobile app testing is a complex process involving different skill sets, we elaborated a rigorous experimental design to conduct an empirical evaluation of the MyContraception solution, which will exhaustively assess the overall quality of this solution and examine its effects on improving the quality of patient-centered contraception care. {\textcopyright} 2021, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.},

	abstract = {Nowadays, the adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) technology worldwide is accelerating the digital transformation of healthcare industry. In this context, smart healthcare (s-healthcare) solutions are ensuring better and innovative opportunities for healthcare providers to improve patients{\textquoteright} care. However, these solutions raise also new challenges in terms of security and privacy due to the diversity of stakeholders, the centralized data management, and the resulting lack of trustworthiness, accountability, and control. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end Blockchain-based and privacy-preserving framework called SmartMedChain for data sharing in s-healthcare environment. The Blockchain is built on Hyperledger Fabric and stores encrypted health data by using the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a distributed data storage solution with high resiliency and scalability. Indeed, compared to other propositions and based on the concept of smart contracts, our solution combines both data access control and data usage auditing measures for both Medical IoT data and Electronic Health Records (EHRs) generated by s-healthcare services. In addition, s-healthcare stakeholders can be held accountable by introducing an innovative Privacy Agreement Management scheme that monitors the execution of the service in respect of patient preferences and in accordance with relevant privacy laws. Security analysis and experimental results show that the proposed SmartMedChain is feasible and efficient for s-healthcare environments. Copyright {\textcopyright} 2021 Driss El Majdoubi et al.

	abstract = {Recent advances in techniques that combine and analyze data collected from multiple partners led to many new promising distributed collaborative applications. Such collaborative computations could occur between trusted partners, between partially trusted partners, or between competitors. Therefore preserving privacy is an important issue in this context. This paper presents a distributed protocol for privacy-preserving aggregation to enable computing a class of aggregation functions that can be expressed as Abelian group. The proposed protocol is based on an overlay structure that enables secret sharing without the need of any central authority or heavyweight cryptography. It preserves data privacy such that participant data is only known to their owner with a given probability. The aggregation result is computed by participants themselves without interacting with a specific aggregator. The aggregation result is accurate when there is no data loss.
