In Internet of things, compared with the traditional traceability system, the existing system has difficulties in operation, data are easily lost, data are uncoordinated, standards are not unified, and so on. In this paper, based on the characteristics of blockchain, the traceability model of urban fruits is established to reduce the risk of counterfeit and shoddy urban fruits. The collected data is integrated into the chain for diversified display, providing different permissions and platforms for multiple roles. Blockchain and supporting intelligent hardware are used to realize the real record and tracking of the whole process of fruit. Improve the transparency and efficiency of supply chain, and reduce the supply chain cost. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm model can be applied to the fruit service field and effectively improve the service level of smart city.

Recently, Halal food has drawn remarkable attention of many consumers around the world. Besides to being unsafe, Halal food such as meat can encounter several issues throughout its supply chain and logistics. At any time, Halal integrity is not guaranteed and risks of becoming non-Halal is the major concern of all parties along the supply chain. To respond to Muslim consumers’ trust concerns in Halal food, many traceability systems were proposed in previous studies based on emerging technologies and  recommended to be incorporated into Halal food supply chains. Nevertheless, all of these systems are centralized, opaque and not enough transparent. To mitigate these problems, blockchain technology is introduced as a ground-breaking innovation with greater decentralization, visibility and transparency. This paper makes a major contribution in suggesting Halal meat supply chain traceability system for real-time food tracing based on embedding Islamic dietary law into HACCP, blockchain and Internet of Things.

Food safety has drawn worldwide attention because of its enormous impact on human health and social stability. Although traceability systems based on Internet of Things (IoT) can improve the visibility of the food supply chain, the trust service is necessary to ensure the data origin and data integrity. This paper proposes a food traceability system supported by a trust service based on Domain Name System Security Extensions(DNSSEC). A DNSSEC-enabled traceability system is implemented for food safety in China. In the traceability system, the master data and event data of the products is stored in distributed databases owned and managed by the enterprises respectively in the supply chain. Enterprise oriented Internet of Things Information Service (iotIS) is an important component of the distributed traceability system. A trust service for the Internet of Things, iotTS, is proposed to guarantee the data integrity. With this service, it can be ensured that the information stored in the enterprise database is original and has never been manipulated. Lightweight public keys are distributed based on the DNSSEC in this solution. Compared with the existing solutions, the proposed solution has better scalability and credibility.

Blockchain technology has become one of the most popular technologies for maintaining digital transactions. From the foundation of Bitcoin to the now predominant smart contract, blockchain technology promises to induce a shift in thought about digital transactions in many fields, such as energy, healthcare, Internet of Things, cybersecurity, financial services and the supply chain. Despite blockchain technology offers many cryptography advantages such as immutability, digital signature and hashing; it has suffered from several critical cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. In this paper, we build upon the previous studies on vulnerabilities and investigates over 60 real cybersecurity incidents that have been happening on the blockchain networks between 2009 and 2019. We categorise those incidents against the key cybersecurity vulnerabilities in blockchain technologies; and have developed a taxonomy that captures five types of cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities based on five main players in blockchain. The outcome of this research prompted concerns and research direction in developing countermeasures to alleviate these risks.

Safeguarding the high quality of halal food products is a new realm to explore with the advent of new technologies. The efficiency of food industry management has boosted the applicability of product traceability system with the aid of the internet of things (IoT). Traceability system with the use of IoT has facilitated food industry players in managing their product information along the supply chain. As one of the halal food industry key players, halal agro-food small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are reportedly yet to embrace the adoption of IoT. With IoT, halal agro-food SMEs supply chain has undoubtedly provided a trusted platform. However, halal related issues and scandals in the market are recurring persistently. Besides, the emergence of IoT in the agriculture sector requires active involvement by halal agro-food SMEs. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the adoption of IoT among Malaysian halal agro-food SMEs and its challenges. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to gather data from selected 158 halal agro-food SMEs. Descriptive analysis, mean score analysis, and Pearson correlation analysis were carried out to analyze the data. The results showed a lack of IoT adoption among halal agro-food SMEs in managing their business activities. The SMEs were also found to be low tech-savvy users of IoT in managing their halal products. Therefore, a vast improvement is needed in implementing IoT among Malaysian halal agro-food SMEs.
