Von der hinteren Coverseite

This book discusses the blockchain and cryptocurrencies related issues and also explains how to provide security through different algorithms, frameworks, approaches, techniques and mechanisms, while exploring how blockchain is applied to other technologies such as IoT and Big Data as well as Artificial Intelligence.

As we enter the Industrial Revolution 4.0, demands for an increasing degree of trust and privacy protection continue to be voiced. The development of blockchain technology is very important because it can help frictionless and transparent financial transactions and improve the business experience, which in turn has far-reaching effects for economic, psychological, educational and organizational improvements in the way we work, teach, learn and care for ourselves and each other.

Blockchain is an eccentric technology, and at the same time, the least understood and most disruptive technology of the day. In 15 chapters, this book covers the latest technologies of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology and their applications. The book discusses the blockchain and cryptocurrencies related issues and also explains how to provide the security differently through an algorithm, framework, approaches, techniques and mechanisms. It provides a comprehensive understanding of what blockchain is and how it works, as well as insights into how it will affect the future of your organization and industry as a whole, and how to integrate blockchain technology into your business strategy. In addition, the book explores the blockchain with other technologies like Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, etc.

Audience

The book is directed to three distinct groups: computer scientists, cyber security engineers, software developers, and information technology specialists; innovators, engineers and managers in all types of businesses; policy makers in governments tasked with ensuring data integrity.
