Ensuring the Security of Logistics Information and Data Searching Using Ant Colony Optimization and Blockchain

Abstract

In contemporary logistics operations, safeguarding information security and streamlining data retrieval processes are of atmost importance. This study introduces an innovative methodology that merges Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) with Blockchain technology to fortify the security and efficency of logistics information management. Leveraging ACO, the system emulates ants foraging behavior to swiftly navigate complex networks and retrieve relevant data. Additionally, Blockchain ensures a secure and tamperproof environment for storing logistics data, with each transaction cryptographically linked in immutable blocks, guaranteeing data integrity. This integrated approach enhances logistics data security and optimizes retrieval processes significantly. Experimental findings underscore the effectiveness and efficiency of this approach, demonstrating its potential to greatly enhance logistics operations in terms of security and performance.
