Transaction, Process, and Document Security in the Age of AI
Now-a-day, usage of AI technology is gaining momentum with growing concerns such as Deepfake. Despite these concerns, AI technologies are a powerful tool for fraud prevention and detection.
Transaction security ensures the safety and integrity of transactions and impacts consumer or buyer behavior in a business relation and trust level. While process security is the activity with the focus on preventing unexpected effects or events. Document security prevents document fraud that is defined as an intentional alteration or usage of fake or stolen documents in a system or transaction.
People in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), particularly in Africa, have difficulty confirming ownership of their land. This fact morally, financially, and economically affects the population and the country in terms of poor urbanization, high criminality, and legal battles. People struggling for the proprieties could face physique harms or death.
Analyzing this problematic in the light of computer science, reveals that buyers lack information about the land, vendors can sell the same land to many people without them realizing the fraud. The city authorities lack information on each transaction.
Beyond this particular of fraud, many LMIC face several security issues in field of counterfeits drugs, food security issues in terms food quality, safety, and traceability, etc. The fight against counterfeit medicines is a global public health and safety concern. AI and Blockchain are technologies used for preventing and detecting fraud in the medicine supply chain. The food industry faces similar issues to the pharmaceutical industry.
Many other daily life domains also are facing frauds, information manipulation, document falsification that could consequently impact social, job, finance, food, transportation, agriculture, education, national security.
This special issue is looking to explore the concepts, fundamentals, applications of transaction, process, and document security in AI (including machine learning, deep learning) and blockchain in land acquisition process, health care services and process, agriculture, social engineering, food production, transportation, etc.
The goal of this special issue call is to gather excellent research articles, case studies, and/or practical demonstrations from scientists studying the security implications of AI technology use in everyday applications.
List of topics to be covered in this special issue:
Original contributions relating to security in general and to the era of AI in the following fields are most welcome:
- Blockchain application
- Education
- eGovernance
- Digital finance
- Territorial Integrity
- Networks security
