The field of data security and management is moving towards decentralized and distributed solutions, leveraging technologies such as blockchain and peer-to-peer networks to protect data integrity and improve scalability. Researchers are exploring innovative approaches to mitigate cyber threats, including the use of data-plane telemetry to detect and prevent long-distance BGP hijacks. Additionally, there is a growing interest in data virtualization to support machine learning workflows and improve the efficiency of data management. Noteworthy papers include:
- Chain Table, which introduces an in-database design to protect data integrity without the need for a blockchain system.
- Data-Plane Telemetry to Mitigate Long-Distance BGP Hijacks, which presents a novel approach to detecting and preventing BGP hijacks using delay variations.
