privacy and authenticity. It is now playing a significant role in several
areas such the Internet of Things, supply-chain management, manufacturing,
cyber-physical systems, healthcare systems, and much more. Unlike
centralized transaction processing solutions, blockchain uses a distributed
ledger mechanism to record data transactions on multiple devices, this will
prevent data breaches, identity theft, and a plethora of cyber-related
attacks, in essence, leading to sustainability in data privacy and
security. This conference aims at to attract the work of both researchers
