Kathleen Breitman at the Hyperledger Meetup Altoros
Distributed ledgers offer advantages for capital markets by providing a single record of transactions maintained across multiple nodes, avoiding political battles over control. They could help reconcile complex transactions recorded across old, fragile software systems in bank back offices. A distributed ledger maintained between different financial players could more easily track a swap sold and resold between custodians than traditional systems. Potential use cases involve a lack of central authority, robust regulatory needs, and transactional processes followable as smart contracts. Examples include repo agreements, FX settlement, and trade reconciliations.
Blockchain technology is increasingly being considered for applications in business contexts due to its key properties. It is also very much hyped for its potential to transform existing industries and business models.

Slides from my CLOSER 2021 keynote ( https://www.insticc.org/node/TechnicalProgram/closer/2021/presentationDetails/1390 )
Blockchain has emerged as a decentralized platform for managing digital assets and executing 'smart contracts', i.e., user-defined code. While blockchain's suitability for a given use case should always be scrutinized, it does have the potential to disrupt many of the connection points between individuals, companies, and government entities. In this keynote talk, I will provide an overview of what architects and developers need to know in order to build blockchain-based applications, and how it relates to the cloud and software services. Among others, I will cover blockchain-as-a-service concepts, as well as architectural concerns and model-driven engineering for blockchain applications, the latter also in relation to collaborative business processes. To highlight some of the challenges, I will discuss insights from a project on "programmable money", i.e., blockchain-based money for conditional payments where the money itself checks whether it can be spent in a certain way at the point of payment. Finally, I will touch on insights into current adoption of blockchain.

This document discusses blockchain and how IBM can help businesses apply it. Blockchain is a shared, replicated, permissioned ledger technology that can improve business networks by reducing costs, increasing efficiencies and accessibility. It addresses challenges across industries. IBM supports the open standard Hyperledger Project and provides blockchain services through Bluemix to help customers get started incrementally with blockchain.
This document provides an overview of the anatomy of a Hyperledger application. It describes the key components including the Hyperledger architecture, application components, smart contracts, permissioned ledger access, and how applications interact with the blockchain network. The Hyperledger architecture supports various participants like developers, users, and network operators. Applications use smart contracts to interact with the ledger, while smart contracts encapsulate business logic and transactions. Permissioned access controls who can access the ledger through the use of certificates. The document also provides examples of how applications, smart contracts, and external systems integrate with the permissioned ledger.
Blockchain technology was introduced in 2008 through Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper that introduced blockchain as a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of transaction records hardened against tampering. The document discusses key definitions around permissioned versus permissionless blockchains and consensus algorithms. It also provides examples of potential business use cases for blockchain as well as success stories from companies applying the technology.
Traceability of components of products - from food to fashion - is central to the promise of using blockchain to organize and operationalize data from the web of supply chains. How would traceability bring value? How do blockchain and smart contracts work? And how would these foster traceability? What has been done so far in this regard? What issues and tensions affect adoption of traceability, whether by blockchain or other means? This webinar examines blockchain and the role it plays in supply chain by providing traceability.

Blockchain and Smart Contracts (Series: Blockchain Basics)Financial Poise
Blockchain is a tool. Samson Williams likens blockchain to a group text message, in which each participant receives a distributed, time-stamped, tamper-resistant (and encrypted) record of data transactions. Each group text has these characteristics. Everyone in the group “sees” the data, and none can change or gainsay any group message. Smart contracts are computer code put on the blockchain (how, exactly?) that establishes self-executing terms and conditions of a transaction. Are smart contracts smart? If certain data comes in and fulfills a pre-set term or condition, then rights and responsibilities are formed, terminated, modified, or shifted among the parties. Ah certainty and transparency, but also ah garbage in and garbage out. Are some contractual terms not amenable to smart contracting? And are smart contracts necessarily contracts? If not, can they still be useful? If a smart contract is a contract, what is the governing document? Is it the words business people and lawyers use, or is it the code that is supposed to reflect the words?

Introduction to Ethereum Blockchain & Smart ContractThanh Nguyen
The Harvard Business Review (HBR) thinks that Blockchain Technology has to power to keep data safe for consumers and businesses alike; because Blockchain provides a secure and immutable ledger, HBR says it represents the key to taking back privacy of data.
“You can keep certified copies of identity documents, biometric test results, health data, or academic and training certificates online, available at all times, yet safe unless you give away your key. At a whole system level, the database is very secure.”
Presentation by DHS S&T at the NY Blockchain 360 Conference regarding Blockchain's relevance to the Homeland Security Enterprise. Results of security and privacy research and development over the last 2+ years and next steps.
Blockchain uses cryptography, distributed computing, and game theory to allow transactions to be recorded in a distributed ledger called a blockchain. The blockchain uses cryptography techniques like hashing and digital signatures to ensure security and integrity of data. Blockchain networks have different types of nodes, including full nodes that store the entire blockchain and partial nodes that only store necessary parts. Consensus mechanisms like proof-of-work are used to validate transactions and add new blocks to the distributed ledger.
Blockchain technology has the potential to disrupt and enable innovation in many industries. It allows for decentralized networks that do not require intermediaries, improving security, transparency and reducing costs. The document discusses potential applications of blockchain in various sectors such as financial services, banking, insurance, communications, voting, internet of things and more. It provides examples of companies already experimenting with and implementing blockchain solutions.

InitVerse Blockchain - 5 minutes to understand the blockchain.pdfInitVerse Blockchain
InitVerse Blockchain,Blockchain is an information technology for decentralized data storage, data sharing, and data exchange, which does not need to be controlled by a central organization or individual.
Blockchain is a distributed ledger that can be used to securely track digital assets and transactions without a central authority. It works by distributing a record of transactions across multiple nodes in a network that must reach a consensus on changes. Smart contracts allow digital assets and transactions to be automatically verified and enforced based on predefined terms. Some potential applications of blockchain technology include digital currencies, supply chain management, digital identity, and more.
Blockchain first appeared in 2008 when Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the blockchain structure for bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency. Prior work on blockchain technology dates back to 1991, but it was Nakamoto who improved the structure by using a hash cash-like technique to record timestamps of added blocks without central authorization. Since 2008, blockchain has grown significantly, with the size of the bitcoin blockchain network reaching over 200 gigabytes by 2020 as adoption of the technology has increased. Blockchain allows transactions to be recorded in a decentralized, immutable public ledger.

What can we learn about the first six months of data privacy trends and events in 2024? How should this inform your privacy program management for the rest of the year?
Join TrustArc, Goodwin, and Snyk privacy experts as they discuss the changes we’ve seen in the first half of 2024 and gain insight into the concrete, actionable steps you can take to up-level your privacy program in the second half of the year.
This webinar will review:
- Key changes to privacy regulations in 2024
- Key themes in privacy and data governance in 2024
- How to maximize your privacy program in the second half of 2024

Public
&
private
keys
and
wallets
Two
large
prime
numbers
that
have
a
mathematical
relation
with
each
other.
A
string
encrypted
with
one
key
can
only
be
decrypted
with
the
other.
One
key
needs
to
be
kept
private,
the
other
one
can
be
made
publicly
known
so
that
it
can
be
used
by
other
parties
to
exchange
data
with you
in
a
secure
manner.
Private
keys
need
to
be
stored
that
it
is
accessible
only
for
owner.
This
can
be
done
on
personal
devices
(PC,
smart
card,
USB
stick, phone,
…)
or
remotely
with
a
service
provider
(cold
and
hot
wallets).
Encryption
Scrambling
of
clear
text
with
the
public
key
of
the
recipient
so
that
the
holder
of
that
private
key
is
the
only
one
that
can descramble
the
message.
This
is
used
to
guarantee
the
confidentiality
of
the
data
exchanged.

Encryption
of

to
be
secured
with
the
private
key
of
the
sender
(called
digital
signature)
that

the
public
of
the
sender.
If
the
decrypted
hash
matches
the
content
of
the
original
data
it
implies
two
things.
First,
the
encryption
can
only
be
performed
with
the
private
key
corresponding
with
public
key
and
secondly,
the
original

can’t
be
tampered

– Smart
Contracts
• Business
logic that
can
be
assigned
to
a
transaction
on
the
blockchain
• Acts
as
a
‘notary’ of
blockchain transactions
• Holds
conditions under
which
specific
actions
can/must
be
perfomed
• Facilitates
escrow services
• Can’t
be
modified without
