SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF CYBERATTACK PREVENTION MECHANISMS IN BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS
Keywords:
Blockchain Networks, Cyberattack Prevention, Consensus Mechanisms, Encryption Techniques, Anomaly Detection, Access ControlAbstract
Blockchain technology has revolutionized digital transaction management through its decentralized, transparent, and immutable nature. However, as blockchain networks expand, they become increasingly vulnerable to various cyberattacks, threatening the integrity and security of transactions. This systematic review explores the key cyberattack prevention mechanisms deployed in blockchain networks, categorizing them into consensus mechanisms, encryption techniques, access control systems, and anomaly detection frameworks. By analyzing relevant academic literature, this review highlights both the strengths and limitations of current strategies while providing insights into emerging trends and future research directions. Through this evaluation, we aim to present a comprehensive understanding of the state-of-the-art cybersecurity solutions in blockchain networks and the ongoing challenges that need to be addressed.
