Special Section on Advances in Smart Cities
Our experimental results are really encouraging,
but some open questions are yet to be
solved before applying BEVA in the real world,
such as security of small consensus network and
storage overhead by ever-increasing ledger. Our
ongoing efforts include designing an efficient
ENF-based consensus mechanism and evaluating
the security features provided by BEVA in a reallife
video streams context.
