Software Define Network Applications on Top of Blockchain Technology

Open access
Nowadays technologies are rapidly growth and it cover many areas. The traditional or legacy network architecture is no longer suited to meet today requirement ever since cloud era appeared. In order to fulfill the gap, the paradigm has shifted to edge computing where the usage of micro-services become mainstream. The needs of using edge computing become crucial when intruder, and malicious become the sentinel of all disease in network infrastructure. Thus, with the usage of blockchain in SDN infrastructure technology it could be the game changer. Whereby it has the mechanism for long term basis, long term integrity, auditability, lineage, Secure provenance and quantum immunity. All the attribute component can be a single platform where it trustful and transparent. Without doubt, it also improves the environment for controlling the threat. In this case, it could be the best platform for financial services industry to adapt. The other significant benefits can be shared in other domain such as in IoT infrastructure, and edge computing area. Therefore, it can outweigh the additional compliances costs involved in establishing the ecosystem (EY Assurance, 2016). In laymen terms, the future of network can be handle at front end (surface layer) instead of distributing the task over others. Thus, it improves a new business opportunity on each applied solution.
