Research on the Raft improved algorithm for anti-Byzantine nodes by WANG Xiaowei, LI Jie

“…ObjectivesIn order to solve the problem of malicious election and log tampering caused by Byzantine nodes in original Raft algorithm， an AntiB-Raft （Anti-Byzantine Raft） algorithm was proposed to resist Byzantine nodes.MethodsWhen the candidate requested to replace the Leader， the heartbeat monitoring threshold mechanism was used to determine whether the candidate can successfully obtain enough votes to become the new Leader， which was agreed that only when more than half of the nodes detected that the current Leader was really down， the candidate can obtain more than half of the votes and become the new Leader， so as to prevent the Byzantine node from maliciously pulling votes when current Leader was not down， which would result in the replacement of the normal Leader. …”

BS-SCRM: a novel approach to secure wireless sensor networks via blockchain and swarm intelligence techniques by Jing Xiao, Chaoqun Li, Zhigang Li, Jie Zhou

“…The proposed BS-SCRM method is structured in two phases: (1) an enhanced cluster head (CH) election utilizing an elite strategy-enhanced Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) that considers node energy and proximity to the base station, and (2) a secure data on-chain phase where blockchain comes into play, encrypting and validating cluster data to safeguard integrity and prevent tampering. …”
