Blockchain Technology: Concepts and Applications

Blockchain Technology: Concepts and Applications covers not only the technical aspects of blockchain but also its basic building blocks. These building blocks consist of hash functions, cryptography and consensus. The organizations of the chapters are in logical sequence; however, readers can skip the building block chapters if they directly want to learn the blockchain technology. The decentralized system useful for blockchain technology is also covered independently. There is a separate chapter on Ethereum, a prominent platform for development of blockchain based solution. To understand the complete gambit of Bitcoin, one can directly read its chapter.
