Abstract
The Malware Information Sharing Platform (MISP) enables the sharing of cyberthreat information within a community, company or organisation. However, this platform presents limitations if its information is deemed as classified or shared only for a given period of time. This implies that this information should to be handled only in encrypted form. One solution is to use MISP with searchable encryption techniques to impose greater control over the sharing of information. In this paper, we propose a controlled information sharing functionality that features a synchronisation procedure that enables classified data exchange between MISP instances, based on policies and ensuring the required confidentiality and integrity of the shared data. Sequence charts are presented validating the configuration, the data synchronisation, and the data searching between multiple entities.

Abstract
Since its first introduction in late 90s, the use of marketplaces has continued to grow, today virtually everything from physical assets to services can be purchased on digital marketplaces, real estate is not an exception. Some marketplaces allow acclaimed asset owners to advertise their products, to which the services gets commission/percentage from proceeds of sale/lease. Despite the success recorded in the use of the marketplaces, they are not without limitations which include identity and property fraud, impersonation and the use of centralised technology with trusted parties that are prone to single point of failures (SPOF). Being one of the most valuable assets, real estate has been a target for marketplace fraud as impersonators take pictures of properties they do not own, upload them on marketplace with promising prices that lures innocent or naive buyers. This paper addresses these issues by proposing a self sovereign identity (SSI) and smart contract based framework for identity verification and verified transaction management on secure digital marketplaces. First, the use of SSI technology enable methods for acquiring verified credential (VC) that are verifiable on a decentralised blockchain registry to identify both real estate owner(s) and real estate property. Second, the smart contracts are used to negotiate the secure transfer of real estate property deeds on the marketplace. To assess the viability of our proposal we define an application scenario and compare our work with other approaches.

Abstract
The 3rd International Congress on Blockchain and Applications 2021 will be held in Salamanca from 6 to 8 of October. This annual congress will reunite blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) researchers, who will share ideas, projects, lectures, and advances associated with those technologies and their application domains. Among the scientific community, blockchain and AI are seen as a promising combination that will transform the production and manufacturing industry, media, finance, insurance, e-government, etc. Nevertheless, there is no consensus with schemes or best practices that would specify how blockchain and AI should be used together. Combining blockchain mechanisms and artificial intelligence is still a particularly challenging task. The BLOCKCHAIN’21 congress is devoted to promoting the investigation of cutting-edge blockchain technology, to exploring the latest ideas, innovations, guidelines, theories, models, technologies, applications and tools of blockchain and AI for the industry, and to identifying critical issues and challenges those researchers and practitioner must deal with in the future research. We want to offer researchers and practitioners the opportunity to work on promising lines of research and to publish their developments in this area. The technical program has been diverse and of high quality, and it focused on contributions to both, well-established and evolving areas of research. More than 44 papers have been submitted to 38 from over 20 different countries (Canada, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Morocco, Netherlands, Oman, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, and USA). We would like to thank all the contributing authors, the members of the Program Committee, the sponsors (IBM, Indra, EurAI, AEPIA, AFIA, APPIA, and AIR Institute), and the Organizing Committee for their hard and highly valuable work. We are especially grateful for the funding supporting by project “XAI - XAI - Sistemas Inteligentes Auto Explicativos creados con Módulos de Mezcla de Expertos,” ID SA082P20, financed by Junta Castilla y León, Consejería de Educación, and FEDER funds. Their work contributed to the success of the BLOCKCHAIN’21 event and, finally, the Local Organization Members and the Program Committee Members for their hard work, which was essential for the success of BLOCKCHAIN’21.
