Exploring the Role of Hash Functions in Securing Smart Contracts on Blockchain
IEEE
July 03, 2025
A smart contract is the code that controls such digital assets and runs them on a blockchain network. It is used to try and default contract terms, remove intermediaries within the network, and ensure a trustless environment with more efficiency. However, smart contracts are of great concern as they handle sensitive and valuable assets. Smart contracts & Bloom hash function: An essential element in blockchain technology with smart contracts enabling safety and security through Bloom hash functions. With the help of hash functions, every data block generates a specific cryptographic hash, making it almost immutable and ensuring that nobody can tamper with your information. In the realm of smart contracts, hash functions can be used to generate a digital signature of the contract code, and then all parties involved can verify that by doing dust authentication. Since tampering with the code changes its hash, each side could easily detect if someone had altered a document. You may use hash functions with other security layers (e.g. multi-factor authentication, encryption) to set up a strong protection for your smart contracts. While smart contracts stay true to the core principles of immutability and transparency in order, using hash functions can further strengthen security against potential threats.

Advancing Predictive Maintenance and Asset Management Through Digital Twin Technology: A Step Towards Industry 4.0
IEEE
April 02, 2025
Digital Twins (DTs) are revolutionizing predictive maintenance (PdM) and asset management by creating a seamless link between physical and virtual systems. This study explores the use of DTs in integrating IoT sensor networks with advanced machine learning models such as Random Forest Classifiers, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and autoencoders. These technologies give meaningful insights into asset performance by enabling predictive analysis and real-time monitoring. The constraints of traditional maintenance techniques, such as delayed fault detection and poor resource allocation, have been addressed by DTs, which have shown notable benefits, such as a 20% increase in asset utilization and a 25% decrease in unscheduled downtime. Longer equipment lifespans and more economical maintenance techniques result from these devel-opments. Notwithstanding its potential, scalability and system integration issues still exist. DTs' critical role in improving system dependability, operational efficiency, and economic viability, all of which propel industrial advancement in the context of Industry 4.0, is highlighted in this paper.
