Current anti-counterfeiting supply chains rely on a centralized authority to combat counterfeit products. This architecture results in issues such as single point processing, storage, and failure. Blockchain technology has emerged to provide a promising solution for such issues. In this paper, we propose the block-supply chain, a new decentralized supply chain that detects counterfeiting attacks using blockchain and Near Field Communication (NFC) technologies. Block-supply chain replaces the…

A Survey on Using Blockchain in Trade Supply Chain Solutions
TLDR
This paper underline several issues that occur during the designing of the blockchain solution to optimise the (international) trade supply chain and highlights the challenges that are associated with applying this technology to optimising the trading domain.
A Blockchain-Based Application System for Product Anti-Counterfeiting
TLDR
A decentralized Blockchain system with products anti-counterfeiting is described, in that way manufacturers can use this system to provide genuine products without having to manage direct-operated stores, which can significantly reduce the cost of product quality assurance.
How Blockchain Enhances Supply Chain Management: A Survey
TLDR
This paper introduces blockchain and survey recent blockchain frameworks that address some of the supply chain challenges, and describes the components and operation of these blockchain frameworks.
Product Identification System Using Block chain
TLDR
This paper uses the decentralized Blockchain technology approach to confirm that buyers don't fully depend on the merchants to work out if products are genuine, and manufacturers can use this method to supply genuine products without having to manage direct-operated stores, which may significantly reduce the value of product quality assurance.
Managing the Product-Counterfeiting Problem with a Blockchain-Supported E-Commerce Platform
As a disruptive tool, blockchain technology can eradicate the product-counterfeiting problem in supply chains. However, a blockchain-supported platform charges an operating fee to legitimate…
Data Management in Supply Chain Using Blockchain: Challenges and a Case Study
TLDR
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of potential opportunities, new requirements, and principles of designing blockchain-based SCM systems, and discusses four crucial technical challenges in terms of scalability, throughput, access control, and data retrieval.
SYSTEM FOR DETECTING FAUX PRODUCTS
As a disruptive technology, blockchain technology has the potential to eliminate the problem of product counterfeiting in supply chains. A blockchainbased platform, on the other hand, charges legal…
Permissioned Blockchain Model for End-to-End Trackability in Supply Chain Management
TLDR
An asset transfer model can be employed to enhance supply chain trackability using permissioned blockchain and how the permissioned blockchains can be used in realizing the business case is proposed.
Concurrent Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance for Integration of Blockchain and Supply Chain
TLDR
This paper presents the proposed concurrent Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus method, named C-PBFT, which is powerful to deal with the consensus inefficiencies, caused by the fast node expansion in the supply chain.
A Secure and Credible Supply Chain System Based on Blockchain
TLDR
The performance analysis demonstrates that the proposed system provides satisfied security and the numerical results illustrate that the award and punishment scheme can offer remarkable incentives for IoT devices to upload correct messages while keeping the system credible.

TLDR
RFID and blockchain technology can realize the traceability with trusted information in the entire agri-food supply chain, which would effectively guarantee the food safety, by gathering, transferring and sharing the authentic data of agre-food in production, processing, warehousing, distribution and selling links.
Tendermint: Byzantine Fault Tolerance in the Age of Blockchains
TLDR
Tendermint modernizes classic academic work on the subject to provide a secure consensus protocol with accountability guarantees, as well as an interface for building arbitrary applications above the consensus.

TLDR
A solution to the blockchain consensus problem that does not require mining is proposed by adapting an existing problem to the Byzantine Generals Problem.
Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System
TLDR
This work proposes a solution to the double-spending problem using a peer-to-peer network, where the network timestamps transactions by hashing them into an ongoing chain of hash-based proof-of-work, forming a record that cannot be changed without redoing the proof- of-work.

In Search of an Understandable Consensus Algorithm
TLDR
Raft is a consensus algorithm for managing a replicated log that separates the key elements of consensus, such as leader election, log replication, and safety, and it enforces a stronger degree of coherency to reduce the number of states that must be considered.
