Article GenShare: A Blockchain-Based Genomic Data Sharing Platform(Association for Computing Machinery, 2026-01-27) Dedeturk, B.A.; Soran, A.; Bakir-Güngör, B.Every day, hundreds of gigabytes of data are produced due to the exponential growth of next-generation sequencing and omics technologies. By combining omics data with other data types, such as electronic health record data, panomics research is actively attempting to uncover novel and potentially useful biomarkers. For the effective analysis of high-throughput-derived omics data, it is imperative to establish robust and reliable platforms that prioritize ethical considerations while effectively managing privacy, ownership concerns, and the responsible sharing of data. The GenShare model was proposed to provide an efficient platform that fits these needs. GenShare is a hybrid platform that utilizes blockchain technology. Paillier’s homomorphic encryption scheme in tandem with Intel Software Guard Extension (SGX) serves to enable the sharing of genomic data, execution of count queries, and statistical analysis of genomic data while preserving privacy and avoiding compromise of sensitive information. The objective of this paradigm is to confront security and privacy concerns through the integration of homomorphic encryption and SGX, addressing additional challenges associated with Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum. In pursuit of this objective, the implementation of the system involved establishing the Hyperledger Fabric network, with various workloads employed to assess the network’s efficiency. Consequently, it was hypothesized that the new GenShare model would enhance the data collection and dissemination cycle and serve as a proficient platform catering to the needs of its users. © 2026 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 4Towards Global Sustainable Development: The Role of Financial Innovation and Technological Advancements(Sage Publications Ltd, 2024-08-10) Dogan, Eyup; Chishti, Muhammad Zubair; Zaman, Umer; Binsaeed, Rima H.The importance of metaverse and blockchain technologies in today's global landscape cannot be overstated. These innovative technologies offer transformative potential for various sectors, including economics, by enhancing connectivity, security and transparency. The present study leverages these technologies to investigate their dynamic impacts, in conjunction with geopolitical risk, on global economic cycles to navigate the challenges of an interconnected world. To ensure the reliability of our findings, this study employs two proxies to gauge economic cycles: global green economic growth and global environmental sustainability. By utilizing daily data, this study reveals several noteworthy findings. First, the quantile-var-based network analysis demonstrates a robust directional connection among the variables in our model. Second, the wavelet quantile correlation technique uncovers the significant role of metaverse technology in influencing economic cycles by promoting global green economic growth and global environmental sustainability across all time horizons (short, medium and long term). Third, economic cycles exhibit a negative association with financial innovation and a positive connection with geopolitical risk across all timeframes. Fourth, the continuous wavelet transform causality test identifies a substantial causal relationship running from metaverse technology, financial innovation and geopolitical risk to economic cycles. Based on our empirical results, this study recommends that the global economy should continue investing in metaverse and blockchain technologies to address economic cycles in the future.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Comparative Performance Analysis of Ethereum and Optimism Smart Contracts in Health Insurance(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-10-26) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Dedeturk, Bilge KaganOne type of insurance that people purchase to cover unexpected medical expenses is health insurance. In exchange for premium payments, the insurance company may cover a portion of the insured person's medical expenses, such as prescription medications, hospital stays, and doctor visits. This method makes access to healthcare easier and less expensive. Health insurance systems do, however, have a number of issues, including fair insurance premium calculation, automation, data verification, privacy and security, and cost effectiveness. These issues are starting to be addressed by blockchain technology, particularly with the help of smart contracts. Using a comparison analysis between Ethereum and Optimism smart contracts, this paper demonstrates the performance of health insurance. Simulation of these BC technologies was carried out both on the Sepolia testnet and using Alchemy. Tools and metrics provided to monitor the performance of Alchemy applications, detect errors, and analyze user interactions were used in the measurements. While Ethereum's well-established ecosystem offers robust support for smart contracts, Optimism distinguishes itself as a scalable substitute that delivers quicker transaction speeds and more affordable options. According to the analysis results, the advantages and disadvantages of Ethereum and Optimism are highlighted when it comes to health insurance. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 30BlockFaas: Blockchain-Enabled Serverless Computing Framework for AI-Driven IoT Healthcare Applications(Springer, 2023-11-03) Golec, Muhammed; Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Golec, Mustafa; Xu, Minxian; Ghosh, Soumya K.; Kanhere, Salil S.; Uhlig, SteveWith the development of new sensor technologies, Internet of Things (IoT)-based healthcare applications have gained momentum in recent years. However, IoT devices have limited resources, making them incapable of executing large computational operations. To solve this problem, the serverless paradigm, with its advantages such as dynamic scalability and infrastructure management, can be used to support the requirements of IoT-based applications. However, due to the heterogeneous structure of IoT, user trust must also be taken into account when providing this integration. This problem can be overcome by using a Blockchain that guarantees data immutability and ensures that any data generated by the IoT device is not modified. This paper proposes a BlockFaaS framework that supports dynamic scalability and guarantees security and privacy by integrating a serverless platform and Blockchain architecture into latency-sensitive Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based healthcare applications. To do this, we deployed the AIBLOCK framework, which guarantees data immutability in smart healthcare applications, into HealthFaaS, a serverless-based framework for heart disease risk detection. To expand this framework, we used high-performance AI models and a more efficient Blockchain module. We use the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol in all communication channels to ensure privacy within the framework. To validate the proposed framework, we compare its performance with the HealthFaaS and AIBLOCK frameworks. The results show that BlockFaaS outperforms HealthFaaS with an AUC of 4.79% and consumes 162.82 millijoules less energy on the Blockchain module than AIBLOCK. Additionally, the cold start latency value occurring in Google Cloud Platform, the serverless platform into which BlockFaaS is integrated, and the factors affecting this value are examined.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 10Sağlıkta Blokzincir Tabanlı Sistem Bilişimi Uygulamaları(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020-10-05) Dedeturk, Beyhan Adanur; Bakir-Güngör, Burcu; Soran, Ahmet; Adanur, BeyhanRecently, the use of blockchain technology in the field of healthcare has increased.

The difference from the existing database operations is that the authorities and responsibilities do not exist in a single central authority, and that these powers and responsibilities are distributed to the other nodes in the network and the assignment is shared. To provide this, peer to peer network infrastructure is used. However, at this stage, authentication in terms of security is one of the basic security mechanisms. In this study, a user management system which can be integrated with more reliable and current technologies, which is thought to be the solution to speed problems in blockchain, is proposed. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
