Summary
Cyber threats are becoming more advanced, making it difficult for traditional security systems to detect and prevent attacks effectively. This research focuses on developing a blockchain-based, AI-powered intrusion detection system to improve cybersecurity. Blockchain technology ensures that security data, such as attack logs, cannot be altered or tampered with, providing a transparent and trustworthy record of cyber threats. At the same time, artificial intelligence is used to detect unusual patterns in network traffic, helping to identify potential attacks in real-time. Smart contracts, which are self-executing programs on the blockchain, will automate security responses, reducing delays in addressing threats. The project will explore ways to make this system both secure and scalable while improving accuracy in detecting cyberattacks. By combining blockchain and AI, this research aims to create a more intelligent, decentralized, and resilient cybersecurity solution for protecting sensitive systems and critical infrastructure from evolving cyber threats.
