	abstract = {Over the past several decades, the importance of security has been increasing, in particular in the area of research addressing the Internet of Things (IoT) and, implicitly, ad hoc networks since they are part of it. Researchers have adopted blockchain as an interesting and trendy research topic in the wireless ad hoc environment. Due to its strong characteristics, such as consensus, immutability, finality and provenance, it{\textquoteright}s used not only as a secure data storage for critical data, but also as a platform that facilitates trustless data exchange between independent parties. However, the main challenge of applying blockchain in an ad hoc network is what kind of nodes should be involved in the validation process and how to adopt the heavy computational complexity of block validation in an appropriate way while maintaining its authentic characteristics. In this paper, we propose a new blockchain-based model against selfish attacks in ad hoc networks and optimize it in this context, to this end, we investigate the presence of MPR nodes to adapt and integrate the blockchain principle in MANETs and based on this we conduct a security analysis to evaluate our model by discussing the ability of our model to meet major security issues related to confidentiality, integrity, availability, non-repudiation, and vulnerability to attacks. {\textcopyright} 2021 IEEE.},

	abstract = {The integration of open communication infrastructures and bidirectional communication between smart metres and utilities in smart grids is very important to support vast amounts of data exchange. It also increases the openness and opportunity of resource sharing across smart grid users, which makes the network vulnerable to several cyber-attacks. These cyber-attacks target smart metres data integrity through several known threats. The most known threats are false data injection (FDI) attacks that manipulate, modify or destroy data by some malicious users. Therefore, these attacks make the smart metres behave maliciously to return false data and to sabotage the system functions. In this paper, we propose a new approach to improve the integrity of data generated by smart metres in a smart grid, namely, verificationbased data integrity mechanism (VBDIM). The performance of our approach is evaluated through simulation to investigate the effects of collusive smart metres on the correctness of their generated data. The obtained results show that our approach achieves a lower blacklisting error and error-rate, and better performance in terms of overhead and slowdown. {\textcopyright} 2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd..
