Study Notes
Blockchain Technology Introduction
- Blockchain technology was introduced in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto as a peer-to-peer electronic payment system.
- The first fully distributed cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was developed using this technology.
- Blockchain has expanded beyond cryptocurrencies, finding potential applications in various sectors like finance, healthcare, energy, government, and manufacturing.
- Blockchain's integration with other technologies provides transparency and traceability, improving business transactions in the supply chain ecosystem.
What is Blockchain?
- Blockchain is a system for recording transactions (using computer programs and algorithms).
- Transactions are recorded sequentially, referencing previous records.
- These records are secured with cryptography (passwords).
- Transaction records are shared among all relevant parties (peers).
- This ensures a shared and unmodifiable view of the transaction log.
Blockchain: A Secure, Transparent, and Traceable System
- Secure: The cryptographic security of the blockchain prevents unauthorized manipulation.
- Transparent: All participants share access to the same ledger, ensuring transparency of transactions.
- Traceable: The sequential record-keeping allows for tracking the complete history of transactions.
Centralized vs. Distributed Ledgers
- Centralized Ledger: A single entity controls access and management of the ledger.
- Distributed Ledger: Many participants are involved in maintaining and verifying the ledger.
Key Blockchain Components
- Blocks: Contains a bundle of transactions, a hash, and the hash of the previous block.
- Nodes: Each computer connected to the blockchain network is a node. Nodes validate and distribute new transactions.
- Public and Private Keys: Public keys encrypt messages/transactions, while private keys decrypt encrypted messages and sign transactions.
Hashing in Blockchain
- A hash is a unique code generated from encrypted data.
- It typically comprises random letters and numbers.
- Hashing secures blockchain data by ensuring any data change results in a different hash.
- This prevents unauthorized data manipulation.
- SHA-256 is a widely used cryptographic algorithm generating 256-bit hash values, often used in blockchain.
Blockchain Illustration
- The blockchain consists of linked blocks, each representing a set of transactions.
- Each block contains the previous block's hash, ensuring integrity and traceability.
- The first block is known as the "Genesis Block".
Consequences of Data Alteration
- Altering data in one block affects the entire blockchain, changing the hash.
- The altered hash disrupts the chain of hashes, highlighting the data alteration.
- This ensures that any attempted manipulation is immediately detectable.
Importance of Blockchain Hash
- Each block has a unique, verifiable hash value.
- Each node can calculate this hash independently, validating the blockchain's integrity.
- The immutable hash values make blockchain tamper-proof and transparent.
Introduction
- Blockchain technology was first introduced in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto.
- It was originally developed as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system for Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency.
- Blockchain's potential applications now extend beyond finance, encompassing healthcare, energy, government and manufacturing.
- Blockchain integration with other technologies enables comprehensive data capture (transparency) and operational insights (traceability) across the supply chain.
- It also optimizes business transactions and strengthens relationships between supply chain stakeholders.
What is Blockchain?
- It is a system for recording transactions using sophisticated computer programs and algorithms.
- Transaction records are compiled sequentially, referencing previous records.
- These records are secured with passwords (cryptography).
- The records are shared with all parties involved, providing a transparent and secure system.
Blockchain: A Secure, Transparent and Traceable Recording System
- In contrast to centralized ledgers that can be manipulated by a single entity, Blockchain is decentralized.
- Each transaction is recorded chronologically, providing a transparent history.
- With its built-in security, data is protected from unauthorized access, making the system tamper-proof.
- Blockchain enhances data authenticity and integrity in the supply chain.
Key Components of Blockchain
- Blocks: Contain a set of transactions (data), a hash, and a hash from the previous block.
- Nodes: Computers connected to the Blockchain network. Nodes verify and transmit new transactions.
- Public and Private Keys: Public keys are used to encrypt messages or transactions, while private keys decrypt messages or sign transactions.
How Hashing Works in Blockchain
- A hash is a unique code generated through encryption, a combination of letters and random numbers.
- It secures data in blocks, ensuring that any change to the data will result in a different hash.
- This prevents unauthorized manipulation or alteration.
- SHA-256 is a common cryptographic hash algorithm used in many blockchains, generating a 256-bit hash value.
Understanding Blockchain Illustration
- Blockchain consists of interconnected blocks, each with a unique hash.
- The first block is called the "Genesis Block", and it has a hash of "0000".
- Each subsequent block contains a hash of the previous block, creating a chain of interconnected records.
Data Modification on Blockchain
-
Any attempt to modify data in a block will result in a new hash value.
-
This new hash will be different from the hash value of the preceding block, triggering an alert.
-
The discrepancy in hash values will signal a potential tampering attempt, ensuring data authenticity.
-
The security and transparency features of Blockchain make it suitable for application in various sectors, particularly in supply chain management.
