It refers to a digitized platform that stores and verifies transactions between users of a system. The technology offers a reliable approach of tracing transactions between anonymous participants, thereby quickly detecting fraud and malfunctions. Several companies and government agencies are experimenting with the promising technology. Blockchain has different uses in the agricultural industry such as providing solutions to food safety, food waste, food fraud, supply chain visibility, and management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Several farmers and agribusinesses have started introducing blockchain technology in agriculture. This article examines the applications of blockchain technology in agriculture and discusses the opportunities and challenges of blockchain.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notis Mengidis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Theodora Tsikrika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stefanos Vrochidis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ioannis Kompatsiaris</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blockchain and AI for the Next Generation Energy Grids: Cybersecurity Challenges and Opportunities</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AI</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">blockchain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cybersecurity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy Grid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Smart Contracts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Smart Grid</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21-33</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Renewable energy sources and the increasing interest in green energy have been the driving forces behind many innovations in the energy sector, such as how utility companies interact with their customers and vice versa. The introduction of smart grids is one of these innovations in what is basically a fusion between the traditional energy grid with the IT sector. Even though this new combination brings a plethora of advantages, it also comes with an increase of the attack surface of the energy grid, which becomes susceptible to cyberattacks. In this work, we analyse the emerging cybersecurity challenges and how the ensuing risks could be alleviated by the advancements in AI and blockchain technologies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sean Costigan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greg Gleason</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">What If Blockchain Cannot Be Blocked?

With blockchain, the possibilities for circumventing controls and systems--or creating new ways of business--are rich grounds for such early adopters. What has gone widely ignored in the buzz around cryptocurrencies is the role that states play and their changing perspectives on the matter. This article analyzes the geo-strategic implications of a suite of technologies that has the possibility of altering core economic tenets about money and, along the way, attracting the attention of those who would skirt the law.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></section></record></records></xml>
