Network topology is one of the major factors in defining the behavior of a network. In the present scenario, the demand for network security has increased due to an increase in the possibility of attacks by malicious users. In this paper, a blockchain-based system is suggested for securely discovering and storing networks. Techniques such as cloud-based storage systems are not efficient and are lacking in trust, privacy, security, and data control. The blockchain-based technique suggested in this paper is capable of resolving these challenges. Experiments were performed using Mininet, Cisco Packet Tracer, and Ethereum blockchain with the network inference algorithm. This algorithm is capable of inferring the network topology even when only partial information regarding the network is available. The results obtained clearly show that the network is resistant to malicious users and various external attacks, making the network robust.

基于区块链的网络识别和存储自动化系统

网络拓扑是定义网络行为的主要因素之一。在当前情况下，由于恶意用户攻击的可能性增加，对网络安全的需求也增加了。本文提出了一种基于区块链的系统，用于安全地发现和存储网络。诸如基于云的存储系统之类的技术效率不高，并且缺乏信任，隐私，安全性和数据控制。本文提出的基于区块链的技术能够解决这些挑战。使用Mininet，Cisco Packet Tracer和以太坊区块链以及网络推理算法进行了实验。即使只有有关网络的部分信息可用，此算法也能够推断网络拓扑。
