Blockchain Security: Primitives and Protocols
It is widely accepted that blockchain is a disruptive technology that reshapes the way of doing business in finance due to its decentralization, transparency and immutability. Blockchain can serve as the backbone technique in various applications with its salient features. However, these blockchain-based systems may still suffer from security concerns. In this talk, we will discuss blockchain security, in terms of its underlying primitives and built-on protocols. To be more specific, we will talk about the privacy and regulation in blockchain-based cryptocurrencies, the security concerns in blockchain-based e-voting and the non-equivocation in blockchain systems. We will discuss the remaining problems of the existing works and present possible solutions.
