Facilitating Security and Trust Among Multiple Parties Through Blockchain Techniques
Join the Buffalo Computer Society Chapter and Santa Clara Valley Computer Society Chapter in welcoming Distinguished Visitor, Dr. Yuhong Liu, on Thursday November 17, at 3 PM PT, when she gives a virtual presentation in the Blockchain Technical Series for 2022.
Topic Summary:
A blockchain consists of a list of blocks that are linked based on cryptography hash and maintained by distributed network nodes, so that the information recorded in these blocks is non-repudiated. After its first conceptualization by Nakamoto in 2008, blockchain has attracted broad attention and been considered as a promising solution to establish a decentralized architecture with security. In this talk, we will discuss some key characteristics of blockchain and a few promising applications of blockchain that can facilitate security and trust among multiple parties. Some examples include applying blockchain to secure software updates for resource-constrained IoT networks; designing a secure and efficient multi-signature scheme to facilitate multi-party approval process on Fabric, an enterprise blockchain platform; and facilitating fair trading of digital-goods via a blockchain based proxy re-encryption scheme.
