The Blockchain Technology for Secure and Smart Applications across Industry Verticals

Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger for maintaining a permanent and tamper-proof record of transactional data. It is a secure transaction ledger database that is shared by all parties participating in an established, distributed network of computers. It records and stores every transaction that occurs in the network, essentially eliminating the need for trusted third parties such as payment processors. Blockchain proponents often describe the innovation as a transfer of trust in a trustless world, referring to the fact that the entities participating in a transaction are not necessarily known to each other yet they exchange value with surety and no third-party validation. For this reason, the Blockchain is a potential game changer. This book is a unique effort to illuminate various techniques to represent, improve and authorize multi-institutional and multi-disciplinary research in a different type of smart applications like the financial system, smart grid, transportation system, etc. This book presents a novel and compendium of existing and budding Blockchain for various smart applications. This technology provides identity-privacy, traceability, immutability, transparency, auditability, and security. Success in using these techniques flips the traditional centralized architecture and provides an agile and cost-effective platform that hold up current and future innovations Provides a snapshot of the state of current research based on the decentralized system that provides security and privacy to the smart applicationsChapters cover the fundamental concepts of the newly emerged Blockchain technology along with, the various smart applicationsHelps to elucidate new trading platforms that provides business benefits like efficiency, auditability, traceability, transparency, feedback, and security INDICE: 1.
