Description: Cryptographic Primitives in Blockchain Technology by Andreas Bolfing Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Cryptographic Primitives in Blockchain Technology provides an introduction to the mathematical and cryptographic concepts behind blockchain technologies and shows how they are applied in blockchain-based systems. Publisher Description Many online applications, especially in the financial industries, are running on blockchain technologies in a decentralized manner, without the use of an authoritative entity or a trusted third party. Such systems are only secured by cryptographic protocols and a consensus mechanism. As blockchain-based solutions will continue to revolutionize online applications in a growing digital market in the future, one needs to identify the principal opportunities andpotential risks. Hence, it is unavoidable to learn the mathematical and cryptographic procedures behind blockchain technology in order to understand how such systems work and where the weak pointsare.Cryptographic Primitives in Blockchain Technology provides an introduction to the mathematical and cryptographic concepts behind blockchain technologies and shows how they are applied in blockchain-based systems. This includes an introduction to the general blockchain technology approaches that are used to build the so-called immutable ledgers, which are based on cryptographic signature schemes. As future quantum computers will break someof the current cryptographic primitive approaches, Andreas Bolfing considers their security and presents the current research results that estimate the impact on blockchain-based systems if some of thecryptographic primitive break. Based on the example of Bitcoin, he shows that weak cryptographic primitives pose a possible danger for the ledger, which can be overcome through the use of the so-called post-quantum cryptographic approaches. Author Biography Born and raised in Switzerland, Andreas Bolfing first studied engineering at University of applied sciences in Lucerne and then mathematics at university level at University of Zurich with specializations in algebra, coding theory, elliptic curves and cryptography. Currently, he is teaching mathematics and physics at a Professional Baccalaureate School in Lucerne Details ISBN 0198862849 ISBN-13 9780198862840 Title Cryptographic Primitives in Blockchain Technology Author Andreas Bolfing Format Hardcover Year 2020 Pages 352 Publisher Oxford University Press GE_Item_ID:141611751; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
