Secure AI-Blockchain Framework with Supply Chain Integrity and Role-Based Smart Contracts for Real-Time Cybersecurity

The Secure AI-Blockchain Cybersecurity Framework of-fers a comprehensive and cutting-edge approach to the most pressing challenges in contemporary cybersecurity. The combination of a 1D CNN-based Intrusion Detection System and a permissioned blockchain offers real-time threat detection and forensic immutability and verifiable governance. The Merkle Tree alert aggregation mechanism is highly effective in overcoming scalability issues by optimizing on-chain storage and transaction processing In addition, the end-to-end supply chain integrity verification system provides complete protection throughout the entire AI model lifecycle, including the prevention of model poi-soning and unauthorized manipulation. This integrated framework offers a solid foundation for a resilient, transparent, and auditable cybersecurity posture that can effectively adapt to the dynamic threat environ-ment the synergy between AI for intelligent threat iden-tification and blockchain for tamper-proof logging and verification represents a paradigm shift towards intelligent threat mitigation and decentralized security.
