Introduction to Blockchain Technology

Introduction to Blockchain Technology

This book explores the fundamentals and applications of Blockchain technology. Readers will learn about the decentralized peer-to-peer network distributed ledger and the trust model that defines Blockchain technology. They will also be introduced to the basic components of Blockchain (transaction block block header and the chain) its operations (hashing verification validation and consensus model) underlying algorithms and essentials of trust (hard fork and soft fork). Private and public Blockchain networks similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum will be introduced as will concepts of Smart Contracts Proof of Work and Proof of Stack. Blockchain is an emerging technology that can radically improve transaction security at banking supply chain and other transaction networks. It’s estimated that Blockchain will generate $3. 1 trillion in new business value by 2030. Essentially it provides the basis for a dynamic distributed ledger that can be applied to save time when recording transactions between parties remove costs associated with intermediaries and reduce risks of fraud and tampering. | Introduction to Blockchain Technology

Challenges in Cybersecurity and Privacy - the European Research Landscape

Challenges in Cybersecurity and Privacy - the European Research Landscape

Cybersecurity and Privacy issues are becoming an important barrier for a trusted and dependable global digital society development. Cyber-criminals are continuously shifting their cyber-attacks specially against cyber-physical systems and IoT since they present additional vulnerabilities due to their constrained capabilities their unattended nature and the usage of potential untrustworthiness components. Likewise identity-theft fraud personal data leakages and other related cyber-crimes are continuously evolving causing important damages and privacy problems for European citizens in both virtual and physical scenarios. In this context new holistic approaches methodologies techniques and tools are needed to cope with those issues and mitigate cyberattacks by employing novel cyber-situational awareness frameworks risk analysis and modeling threat intelligent systems cyber-threat information sharing methods advanced big-data analysis techniques as well as exploiting the benefits from latest technologies such as SDN/NFV and Cloud systems. In addition novel privacy-preserving techniques and crypto-privacy mechanisms identity and eID management systems trust services and recommendations are needed to protect citizens’ privacy while keeping usability levels. The European Commission is addressing the challenge through different means including the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program thereby financing innovative projects that can cope with the increasing cyberthreat landscape. This book introduces several cybersecurity and privacy research challenges and how they are being addressed in the scope of 15 European research projects. Each chapter is dedicated to a different funded European Research project which aims to cope with digital security and privacy aspects risks threats and cybersecurity issues from a different perspective. Each chapter includes the project’s overviews and objectives the particular challenges they are covering research achievements on security and privacy as well as the techniques outcomes and evaluations accomplished in the scope of the EU project. The book is the result of a collaborative effort among relative ongoing European Research projects in the field of privacy and security as well as related cybersecurity fields and it is intended to explain how these projects meet the main cybersecurity and privacy challenges faced in Europe. Namely the EU projects analyzed in the book are: ANASTACIA SAINT YAKSHA FORTIKA CYBECO SISSDEN CIPSEC CS-AWARE. RED-Alert Truessec. eu. ARIES LIGHTest CREDENTIAL FutureTrust LEPS. Challenges in Cybersecurity and Privacy - the European Research Landscape is ideal for personnel in computer/communication industries as well as academic staff and master/research students in computer science and communications networks interested in learning about cyber-security and privacy aspects.
