商品描述

A clear and authoritative introduction to the theory and science underlying blockchain technology

Blockchain, initially created as the public transaction ledger of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, is spreading across banking, trade, and finance sectors worldwide at unprecedented speed and scale. Yet no single definition or accepted standard for blockchain currently exists. Blockchain: Foundation, Principles and Applications provides a systematic introduction to the theoretical foundation of the various components used in blockchain implementations while clarifying the confusion and misunderstandings surrounding the technology.

Written by an internationally-recognized expert on distributed ledger technology, this timely book enables practitioners with minimal knowledge of the technology to evaluate the performance, security, and real-world implications of any blockchain implementation. The text presents in-depth yet accessible technical information on the blockchain peer-to-peer network, cryptographic hash functions, contract programmability, consensus protocol, tokenization, metadata storage, and more. Throughout the book, illustrative examples and lucid analogies make abstract concepts in theoretical computer science and communications theory easy to understand, supported by graphs, tables, relevant mathematical equations, chapter summaries, and full references. This authoritative volume:

  • Outlines the history and development of blockchain, from its original introduction in Bitcoin to the present-day state of the technology
  • Offers a unifying definition for blockchain based on common characteristics of known constructions
  • Discusses the strengths and limitations of using blockchain for a range of current and proposed applications
  • Highlights the criteria for meeting the requirements of various blockchain applications
  • Discusses and compares the design variations of blockchain characteristics, including smart contract functionality and proof-of-work hash chains

Blockchain: Foundation, Principles and Application is an invaluable source of up-to-date information for students, developers, and managers with little knowledge of blockchain wanting to understand the technology or use it for their applications.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《區塊鏈:基礎、原理與應用》是一本清晰而權威的介紹區塊鏈技術理論和科學基礎的書籍。

區塊鏈最初作為加密貨幣比特幣的公共交易記錄而創建,正以前所未有的速度和規模在全球銀行、貿易和金融領域擴散。然而,目前對於區塊鏈的定義或接受的標準尚不存在。《區塊鏈:基礎、原理與應用》系統地介紹了區塊鏈實現中使用的各個組件的理論基礎,同時澄清了圍繞該技術的混亂和誤解。

這本及時的書籍由一位國際知名的分散式帳本技術專家撰寫,使對該技術了解有限的從業人員能夠評估任何區塊鏈實現的性能、安全性和現實世界的影響。本書提供了深入但易於理解的區塊鏈點對點網絡、加密哈希函數、合約可編程性、共識協議、代幣化、元數據存儲等技術信息。全書通過圖表、表格、相關數學方程式、章節摘要和完整參考文獻,以具體的例子和清晰的類比使理論計算機科學和通信理論中的抽象概念易於理解。

這本權威的書籍包括以下內容:
- 概述了區塊鏈的歷史和發展,從比特幣中最初的引入到現今技術的狀態。
- 基於已知結構的共同特徵,提供了一個統一的區塊鏈定義。
- 討論了在各種現有和擬議應用中使用區塊鏈的優點和限制。
- 強調了滿足各種區塊鏈應用需求的標準。
- 討論並比較了區塊鏈特性的設計變化,包括智能合約功能和工作量證明哈希鏈。

《區塊鏈:基礎、原理與應用》對於對區塊鏈了解有限但希望理解該技術或將其應用於自己領域的學生、開發人員和管理人員來說,是一個寶貴的最新信息來源。
