商品描述

Many online applications, especially in the financial industries, are running on blockchain technologies in a decentralized manner, without the use of an authoritative entity or a trusted third party. Such systems are only secured by cryptographic protocols and a consensus mechanism. As blockchain-based solutions will continue to revolutionize online applications in a growing digital market in the future, one needs to identify the principal opportunities and potential risks. Hence, it is unavoidable to learn the mathematical and cryptographic procedures behind blockchain technology in order to understand how such systems work and where the weak points are.

Cryptographic Primitives in Blockchain Technology provides an introduction to the mathematical and cryptographic concepts behind blockchain technologies and shows how they are applied in blockchain-based systems. This includes an introduction to the general blockchain technology approaches that are used to build the so-called immutable ledgers, which are based on cryptographic signature schemes.

As future quantum computers will break some of the current cryptographic primitive approaches, Andreas Bolfing considers their security and presents the current research results that estimate the impact on blockchain-based systems if some of the cryptographic primitive break. Based on the example of Bitcoin, he shows that weak cryptographic primitives pose a possible danger for the ledger, which can be overcome through the use of the so-called post-quantum cryptographic approaches.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

許多線上應用程式,特別是在金融產業中,正以去中心化的方式運行在區塊鏈技術上,無需依賴權威實體或可信的第三方。這類系統僅由加密協議和共識機制來保障安全。隨著基於區塊鏈的解決方案將持續在不斷增長的數位市場中徹底改變線上應用程式,人們需要識別主要的機會和潛在的風險。因此,了解區塊鏈技術背後的數學和加密程序是不可避免的,以便理解這些系統如何運作以及其弱點所在。

《區塊鏈技術中的加密原語》提供了區塊鏈技術背後的數學和加密概念的介紹,並展示了它們在基於區塊鏈的系統中的應用。這包括對用於構建所謂不可變賬本的一般區塊鏈技術方法的介紹,這些賬本基於加密簽名方案。

隨著未來的量子電腦將打破一些當前的加密原語方法,Andreas Bolfing 考慮了它們的安全性,並呈現了當前的研究結果,估計如果某些加密原語被破解,將對基於區塊鏈的系統產生的影響。以比特幣為例,他展示了弱加密原語對賬本可能造成的危險,而這可以通過使用所謂的後量子加密方法來克服。
