On the Practicality of a Smart Contract PKI [PDF]
2019 IEEE International Conference on Decentralized Applications and Infrastructures (DAPPCON), 2019 Public key infrastructures (PKIs) are one of the main building blocks for securing communications over the Internet. Currently, PKIs are under the control of centralized authorities, which is problematic as evidenced by numerous incidents where they have been compromised.

Verification of smart contracts: A survey
Pervasive and Mobile Computing, 2020 Abstract To achieve trust and continuity in the smart contracts-based business process execution, the verification of such smart contracts is mandatory. A blockchain-based smart contract should work as intended before using it. Due to the immutable nature of blockchain, any bugs or errors will become permanent once published and could lead to huge ...
