Network trustworthiness is a critical component of network security, as it builds on positive inter-actions, guarantees, transparency, and accountability. And with the growth of smart city services and applications, trustworthiness is becoming more important. Most current network trustworthiness solutions are insufficient, particularly for critical infrastructures where end devices are vulnerable and easily hacked. In terms of the energy sector, blockchain technology transforms all currencies into digital modes, thereby allowing one person to manage and exchange energy with others. This has drawn the attention of experts in many fields as a safe, low-cost platform to track billions of transactions in a distributed energy economy. Security and trust issues are still relatively new in the current centralized energy management scheme. With blockchain technology, a decentralized energy infrastructure enables parties to establish micro- grid trading energy transactions and apply artificial intelligence (AI). Using AI in energy systems enables machines to learn various parameters, such as predicted required amounts, excess amounts, and trusted partners. In this article, we envision a cooperative and distributed framework based on cutting-edge computing, communication, and intelligence capabilities such as AI and blockchain in the energy sector to enable secure energy trading, remote monitoring, and trustworthiness. The proposed framework can also enable secure energy trading at the edge devices and among multiple devices. There are also discussions on difficulties, issues, and design principles, as well as spotlights on some of the more popular solutions.

通过区块链和人工智能辅助解决方案实现可持续能源基础设施的可信度


网络可信度是网络安全的重要组成部分，因为它建立在积极的互动、保证、透明度和问责制的基础上。随着智慧城市服务和应用的增长，可信度变得越来越重要。当前大多数网络可信解决方案都不够，特别是对于终端设备容易受到攻击且容易被黑客攻击的关键基础设施而言。在能源领域，区块链技术将所有货币转化为数字模式，从而允许一个人管理能源并与他人交换能源。作为追踪分布式能源经济中数十亿交易的安全、低成本平台，这引起了许多领域专家的关注。在当前的集中式能源管理方案中，安全和信任问题仍然相对较新。借助区块链技术，去中心化的能源基础设施使各方能够建立微电网交易能源交易并应用人工智能（AI）。在能源系统中使用人工智能使机器能够学习各种参数，例如预测的所需量、过量量和值得信赖的合作伙伴。在本文中，我们设想了一个基于能源领域人工智能和区块链等尖端计算、通信和智能能力的协作式分布式框架，以实现安全的能源交易、远程监控和可信度。所提出的框架还可以在边缘设备和多个设备之间实现安全的能源交易。还讨论了困难、问题和设计原则，并重点介绍了一些更流行的解决方案。
