Abstract
Recently, the extensive applications of blockchain technology in fields like financial exchanges, insurance, Logistics and healthcare has proven to be pragmatic and revolutionary. In order to enable the blockchain to have a more complete development space, Blockchain-based Service Network (BSN) was proposed. It integrates the developers, portal, cloud resources and blockchain framework to provide the basic environment for blockchain applications. Researches on its security have kept place with the advent of blockchain technology, while potential issues on BSN security remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we are devoted to diving deep into BSN security-related problems, specifically the security of BSN is analysed, and corresponding real attacks are summarised and investigated by checking the blockchain system adopted by BSN, which will provide a good reference for the future research. Finally, we reach the conclusion that although security issues still exist, there are fewer security issues compared with traditional blockchain.
