Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to address critical security and privacy challenges in network engineering. Its decentralized, immutable, and transparent nature enables enhanced secure routing and decentralized identity management, which are vital for modern network infrastructures such as IoT, smart cities, and vehicular networks. This study systematically reviews recent literature from reputable databases, including IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, MDPI, ACM Digital Library, and Web of Science, covering publications from 2016 to 2024. Using a structured search and selection process, 29 relevant studies were analyzed to explore the effectiveness of blockchain-based secure routing mechanisms, features of decentralized identity frameworks, and the technical challenges related to blockchain integration. The findings reveal that blockchain significantly improves network security by preventing threats like route hijacking and Sybil attacks while empowering users with self-sovereign identity control. However, challenges such as energy consumption, latency, scalability, and interoperability remain critical obstacles. The review recommends further development of energy-efficient consensus algorithms, scalable architectures, and interoperability standards to enable broader adoption. Overall, blockchain presents a transformative approach for securing and managing complex network environments, provided that its limitations are carefully addressed in future research.

Abstract

This study examines the current state and readiness of 5G network deployment among major telecom operators in Afghanistan, including Roshan, Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC), and ATOMA Telecom. The purpose is to evaluate the architecture, protocols, and performance metrics related to 5G implementation, alongside the challenges faced by the industry in this transitional phase. Using a quantitative survey methodology, data were collected from 50 technical professionals involved in network planning and management. The survey explored infrastructure types in use, stages of 5G planning, familiarity with advanced 5G technologies, and perceived barriers to deployment. Results indicate that while 4G/LTE and 3G remain dominant infrastructures, only a small fraction of organizations have begun 5G trials or deployments. Key obstacles include high infrastructure costs, regulatory issues, spectrum availability, and limited skilled workforce. Additionally, adoption of enabling technologies such as Network Function Virtualization and Software-Defined Networking is emerging but not yet widespread. Overall, the findings highlight that Afghan telecom operators are in the early stages of 5G readiness, requiring significant investment and regulatory support to accelerate deployment. This research contributes valuable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to enhance Afghanistan’s 5G ecosystem.
