Abstract

Today, as of 2025, the focus of the Internet is on digital Assets Predicated on Blockchain Technology (BCT). The BCT is a cryptocurrency technology combining cryptographic technology and decentralised information technology (P2P) as part of its basic operation. By providing an extensive systematic literature review of BCT, this paper includes Applications of Blockchain Technology to Cybersecurity. Five Basic Categories are described for Securing Network Services; Protection of Data Integrity; Security in the Internet of Things (IoT); the Identification of Individuals with Private Identity Credentials; and the Intelligence to Discover Cyber Threats. There are also Suggested Types of BCT; Frameworks for Cybersecurity using Blockchain Technology; Current Trends and Challenges Multiple Uses of Blockchain Technology with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Quantum Cryptography (QC).
