Cybersecurity Challenges in Blockchain Technology: A Scoping Review

Blockchain technology (BCT) is an emerging technology. Cybersecurity challenges in BCT are being explored to add greater value business processes and reshape operations. This scoping review paper was aimed at exploring the current literature’s scope categorizing various types of cybersecurity BCT. Databases such as Elsevier, ResearchGate, IEEE, ScienceDirect, ABI/INFORM Collection (ProQuest) were searched using a combination terms, after rigorous screening, 51 research studies found relevant. Data coding performed following framework proposed for review. After careful analysis, thirty different categorized into six standardized classes. Our results show that most disclose generally without pointing any specific industry sector, very little extent, few papers reveal related sectors. Also, prior barely investigated strategies minimize Based on gap identification, future avenues scholars.
