Digital citizen blockchain
If you want to understand the application of blockchain, you can refer to many books and opinions, such as illustrated blockchain, blockchain: reshaping the economy and the world, blueprint and guide of new economy, and articles of coin'an community, including a detailed understanding of the platform of coin'an community, with great strength
As the name suggests, blockchain is composed of block and chain. It is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and so on. It is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in order according to the time sequence, and it is a secure and reliable distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptographyin 2008, in his paper bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system published by Nakamoto, he first proposed the idea of blockchain and encrypted digital currency. Starting from bitcoin, blockchain has become the underlying technology of various digital currencies
Second, the working principle of blockchain:1. The basic concepts include: (1) transaction: one operation will change the account status once, such as adding a record 2) Block: records the transaction and status data within a specified time, which is a consensus and preservation of the current account status 3) Chain: it is composed of a series of blocks in chronological order, which is the log record of the whole state change. If you understand the working concept of blockchain, it is not difficult to understand its working principle. Suppose there is a distributed data logbook, which can only be added, not deleted or changed. Its structure is a linear chain formed by a series of "blocks" (which is also the source of the name of "blockchain"), and new data must be put into a new block to be added, The maintenance node can propose a new block, but it must go through a certain consensus mechanism to reach an agreement on the final selected block
2. Take bitcoin as an example to see the working principle of blockchain
the block of bitcoin is divided into block head and block body
Core advantages and characteristics of blockchain1. The verification, accounting, storage, maintenance and transmission of decentralized blockchain data are all based on distributed system structure. There is no centralized hardware or management organization, and the rights and obligations of any node are equal, The data blocks in the system are jointly maintained by the nodes with maintenance function in the whole system. 2. The open and transparent system is open. In addition to the private information of all parties to the transaction is encrypted, the data of the blockchain is open to all. Anyone can query the blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent. 3. Security blockchain uses consensus based specifications and Protocols (such as a set of open and transparent algorithms) to enable all nodes in the whole system to exchange data freely and safely in a de trusted environment, so that the trust in "people" is changed into the trust in machines, and any human intervention does not work. 4. Information cannot be tampered with. Once the information is verified and added to the blockchain, it will be stored permanently. Unless more than 51% (almost impossible) nodes in the system can be controlled at the same time, the modification of the database on a single node is invalid. Therefore, the data stability and reliability of the blockchain are extremely high. 5. Anonymity because the exchange between nodes follows a fixed algorithm, and its data interaction does not need trust (the program rules in the blockchain will judge whether the activity is effective or not). Therefore, the counterparties do not need to let the counterparties generate their own trust by disclosing their identities, which is very helpful for credit accumulation
At present, the most popular classification of blockchain is to divide blockchain into public blockchain, private blockchain and consortium blockchain according to different participants1. Public chain: anyone can participate in the use and maintenance, and can obtain the effective confirmation of the blockchain. Public chain is the earliest blockchain and the most widely used blockchain at present, such as bitcoin blockchain. The information is completely public
if the licensing mechanism is introced, it includes private chain and alliance chain. 2. Private chain: a company or indivial only uses the blockchain technology, enjoys the exclusive write permission of the blockchain, and does not disclose the information. At present, conservative giants (traditional finance) want to experiment with private blockchain, and the application procts of private blockchain are still groping. 3. Alliance chain: it is a blockchain between the public chain and the existing chain, which is jointly controlled by multiple organizations. The use of the chain is managed with authority, which can be controlled by the manager, and also open to others according to the manager's wishes. In addition, according to the different use scenarios and purposes of blockchain, it can be divided into currency chain for the purpose of digital currency, property chain for the purpose of recording property rights, and crowdfunding chain for the purpose of crowdfunding
On May 28, Ma Huateng, CEO of Tencent, proposed the anti-counterfeiting method based on cloud integrated blockchain technology, which is far more efficient than traditional anti-counterfeiting methods. The future anti-counterfeiting verification scenario may only require users to use their mobile phones for simple scanning, and a large number of complete information based on different dimensions can be obtainedtake Maotai liquor as an example:
distillery address, proction workshop, operation staff, inspector, delivery time, transportation vehicle information and driver information,
liquor year, raw material source, raw material supplier, storage warehouse number, raw material transportation vehicle and driver information,
all information can be accurately traced, permanently recorded and tampered with
the above information can be easily verified
2. Food safety issues as early as last November, Wal Mart has cooperated with IBM to track the source of food by using blockchain technology, so as to ensure the safety of food and increase the circulation of food to rece costs. For Wal Mart and other large supermarkets, it took a few days to investigate the source of problem food, After using this technology, only one item of proct information is needed to achieve accurate traceability, and important information such as food origin, inspector, supplier, logistics and transportation can quickly find problems in a few minutes. Currently, procts tracked by blockchain include packaging procts from the United States and pork from China
3. Information security
blockchain technology is promoting an information security technology revolution. (1) identity protection PKI is a common public key encryption technology in e-mail, message application, website and other communication applications. However, since the implementation of most PKI, the centralized trusted third party certification authority (CA) is used to issue, activate and store user certificates. Hackers can attack PKI to fake user identity or crack encrypted information
certcoin is the first PKI implementation of blockchain, which comes from MIT, removes the centralized authentication center, and uses blockchain as a distributed ledger for domain name and public key
pomcor company: blockchain PKI implementation path: keep the authentication center, and use blockchain to store the hash value of issued and activated certificates. Users can verify the authenticity of certificates through decentralized and transparent sources, and can also improve the network access performance through local authentication of secret key and signature based on blockchain
(2) data integrity protection
guardtime developed a secret key free signature architecture (Ksi) based on blockchain technology to replace the secret key based data authentication technology. Ksi stores the hash table of the original data and files on the blockchain, runs the hash algorithm to verify other copies, and compares the results with the data stored in the blockchain. Any data tampering will be found quickly because the original hash table is stored in millions of nodes
(3) key infrastructure protection
the "Achilles heel" of the Internet, DDoS has entered the TB era, DDoS is still the simplest weapon for hackers to bring down the big target with low cost, DNS service is the primary target for hackers to carry out large-scale destruction, but blockchain technology is expected to fundamentally solve the problem
The distributed storage ofblockchain makes hacker attacks lose focus. Nebulis is developing a distributed DNS system, which uses Ethereum blockchain and interstellar Internet file system (IPFs, the distributed substitute of HTTP) to register and resolve domain names. The biggest weakness of DNS is caching, which makes DDoS attacks possible. It is also the bane of the centralized government's censorship of social networks and manipulation of DNS registration. A highly transparent and distributed DNS system can effectively prevent any entity, including the government, from arbitrarily manipulating records
(1) digital currency: improve the convenience of currency issuance and use, such as bitcoin and Ethernet in foreign countries, and guorenbao in Chinafrom the use of physical transactions, to physical currency and credit currency, and then to the rise of bitcoin network, more and more people are aware of the distributed ledger blockchain technology behind it, and graally apply it in many scenarios other than digital currency
(2) cross border payment and settlement: realize point-to-point transaction, rece intermediate fees
transfer and payment. At present, the most mature application of blockchain technology is payment and transfer. Blockchain technology can avoid complicated systems, save the process of inter-bank reconciliation and review, and accelerate the settlement speed; virtual currency can rece transaction costs without the intervention of clearing house. Different countries have different clearing proceres. It takes two or three days for a single remittance to arrive, which is inefficient and accounts for a large proportion of funds in transit. No longer through the third party, through the blockchain technology to form point-to-point payment. By eliminating the link of the third-party institutions, we can make full day payment, real-time payment, withdraw cash quickly and rece the hidden cost, which helps to avoid the capital risk. It is timely and convenient
(3) bills and supply chain financial business: rece human intervention, rece costs and operational risksvalue transfer between point-to-point, control and verify physical bills or central system; Intermediaries will be eliminated and human intervention reced. With the improvement of efficiency, financing channels are more unblocked, risks are lower, and multiple parties benefit
(4) securities issuance and Trading: realize quasi real-time asset transfer, accelerate the speed of transaction clearing
the application of blockchain technology can make the process of securities trading more concise, transparent and fast, rece the plication of IT system, and improve the efficiency of market operation. For stocks, blockchain can eliminate paper and pen or electronic form records, rece human errors in trading, and improve the transparency and traceability of trading platform. Citigroup and Nasdaq cooperate to promote blockchain applications
(5) customer credit investigation and anti fraud: rece the cost of legal compliance, prevent financial crimes
the customer information and transaction records recorded in the blockchain help banks identify abnormal transactions and effectively prevent fraud. The technical characteristics of blockchain can change the existing credit reference system, and store the data of customers with bad records in the blockchain when the bank concts "know your customer" (KYC)
equity crowdfunding:
in the past six months, the concept of blockchain has graally become hot in China, and the financial circle has been blowing waves of blockchain whirlwind. With its unique technical advantages, blockchain has attracted more and more attention and favor from people in the instry. With the characteristics of decentralization (or multi centralization), high transparency, impossibility of tampering and no single point of failure, blockchain technology is coming into the vision of financial institutions and enterprises. At least it has been applied from theoretical discussion to practical application in many fields, such as digital currency, payment and exchange, registration and settlement, digital assets, traceability and anti-counterfeiting, supply chain, Internet of things, etc
"blockchain" was first released in early 2009 as "bitcoin". Blockchain has become the basic protocol and technical application for the launch, recording and circulation of bitcoin. Although bitcoin has been controversial since it came into being, and it can not even be regarded as "currency" by the government and monetary authorities, the blockchain technology applied by bitcoin has been widely concerned by the government and monetary authorities
why has blockchain become a hot technology and topic
perhaps the most important of these is that bitcoin, which is based on blockchain technology, has opened a new technology and rule system exploration and attempt, which has little connection with traditional society (offline) and is completely applied to the online world (online), such as Internet users' identity verification, wealth confirmation, transaction records, notarization verification, etc, This provides people with an alternative path and unlimited reverie to adapt to the development of the Internet society
from the perspective of its application in bitcoin, blockchain intuitively means a new set of network block (block, also known as community) establishment, bitcoin configuration, netizen identity verification, and bitcoin (value) confirmation and transaction records formed by mining by combining encryption technology with Internet technology, As well as the extended encryption of bitcoin cross block flow (value transfer) (including factors such as block and transaction time identification) registration and verification, the internet protocol rules and ledger system including block chain, whole process encryption and mutual authentication. Because bitcoin is not a substitute for offline fiat money, but a new and decentralized network currency (virtual currency) issued and managed by the illegal monetary authority, which mainly imitates the mode of gold and is completely protected and supported by the Internet basic protocol and strict encryption technology, it has also formed a set of virtual currency which is different from It is also not subject to the new monetary rules and systems of social laws, and can be traded or exchanged with legal tender. Bitcoin has been more than eight years since it was launched, and there has been no record of funds or user information stolen. Its security has been verified, and its efficiency and cost of capital clearing also have obvious advantages. This makes people have more confidence in the blockchain technology applied by bitcoin, and it is also more and more clear that although blockchain is a technology and protocol initiated and applied by bitcoin, blockchain is not the same as bitcoin, and its application will never be limited to bitcoin. The application of blockchain can be decentralized or centralized; It can be public chain mode or private chain mode. Therefore, after bitcoin, blockchain technology is constantly developing and innovating, and constantly exploring new application fields, especially in the financial field
the reason why more and more people attach great importance to blockchain is that with the development and wide application of the Internet, more and more economic exchanges and trading activities have been transferred to the Internet, and the network world (or online society) is rapidly expanding, enriching and active, while online transactions must solve the problems of identity verification, value verification, transaction records, etc The efficiency and security protection of inspection and verification need strict intermediary and agreement (rules or constitution). In this regard, the traditional thinking and practice is to conform to the development track of the transfer from offline trading to online trading, and push the common rules and practices of the real (offline) society to the online (Network) society, but it is increasingly difficult to adapt to the needs of online trading in practice
for example, the natural choice of the party's identity verification is to add the account or transaction password, as well as biometrics such as Facebook, iris, fingerprint, etc., based on the information of the identity documents protected by the laws of various countries, to carry out the identity verification of online transactions. But this method, first of all, makes the citizenship information of the cross-border interconnected network world subject to the real social administrative jurisdiction, At the same time, non digital, multi identity information collection and verification will greatly increase the cost and rece the efficiency
moreover, in real society, all kinds of economic activities involving capital liquidation, except direct cash transactions, require the parties to open accounts in banks and other institutions first, and carry out capital liquidation through the account opening institutions. However, for various reasons, even in a country, it is impossible to require all citizens to open accounts in an account opening institution (including its branches), It is even more impossible to do this between multinational companies, which makes the transactions of the parties who open accounts in different institutions must be completed through the clearing between their account opening institutions. It will seriously affect the efficiency and cost of transaction confirmation and capital clearing if this mode is implemented in the network world
in addition, in real society, the valuation and liquidation of trading activities must involve money, which is legal tender protected by national or regional sovereignty. In the case of cross-border Internet Interconnection and cross-border development of Internet transactions, transaction pricing and capital clearing also involve currency issues. The operation of multiple currencies will greatly increase the cost and risk of clearing. Therefore, the development of network world and network transaction needs the innovation of identity verification, value verification, currency valuation, transaction confirmation and record, account management and verification. Bitcoin and blockchain technology provide very important enlightenment and practice
of course, blockchain is still a new concept and technology, which needs further verification and improvement; The application of bitcoin is also an extreme example: the initial bitcoin can not be directly converted from legal tender, but can only be obtained through "mining" in the network world. Therefore, bitcoin can completely set aside the offline social rules, form a new set of game rules by using blockchain technology, and extend from online to offline. In real society, whether online or offline transactions, the main body is people (including legal persons). The management of their wealth or value should not be completely divided into two worlds, but must be connected and integrated. Therefore, o2o is necessary. This requires the application of blockchain not only to study and solve the problems of the network world, but also to study and solve the connection and integration between the network world and the real society. This will bring more challenges and risks, and also require more people, more strength, more in-depth discussion and innovation. It is also possible that blockchain technology will be replaced by more advanced and perfect technology in the future, but the historical value of blockchain will be indelible
the development of blockchain technology in China
Bubi blockchain is a commercial blockchain. Bubi covers seven areas: exchange, points (multiple points, gege points), insurance (sunshine insurance will launch accident insurance on our blockchain in a month, which can greatly rece channel costs), equity crowdfunding (gold stock chain, etc.), supply chain finance (Qian Xiang, etc.), supply chain (cooperation with the material chain, etc.), jewelry anti-counterfeiting, etc. Some funds cooperating with Bubby have committed 150 million investment funds. Bubby plays the role of "LP" in the fund, helping the fund identify and invest in companies related to blockchain. At present, the average amount of angel investment obtained through Bubi blockchain is about 3 million, with an average valuation of more than 40 million
blockchain can drive the birth of a new business model
the characteristics of blockchain technology enable it to achieve some business models that are difficult to achieve in the centralized mode. For example, in the Internet of things instry, some organizations have proposed to use blockchain technology to manage the identity, payment and maintenance tasks of tens of billions of Internet of things devices. Using blockchain technology, IOT equipment manufacturers can greatly extend the life cycle of procts and rece the cost of IOT maintenance
blockchain technology has a flexible architecture
according to different application scenarios and user needs, blockchain technology can be divided into public chain, private chain and alliance chain, which can be selected according to the actual use of institutions<
blockchain technology is a useful tool to realize sharing finance
the essence of sharing finance is to realize the optimal allocation of financial resources by recing the asymmetry of financial information, and to ensure the implementation of the rights and interests of both parties in the transaction and facilitate the transaction through strict third-party authentication and supervision mechanism. Through the use of blockchain technology, financial information and financial value can be more strictly protected, and more efficient and lower cost flow can be realized, so as to realize the sharing of value and information
"from the perspective of historical development trend, money has always evolved with the development of technological progress and economic activities. From the early physical money, commodity money to the later credit money, it is a natural choice to adapt to the development of human commercial society. As the currency of the previous generation, paper money has low technology content. From the perspective of safety and cost, it is the general trend to be replaced by new technology and new procts. It will take at least 10 years for China to implement digital currency, so digital currency and cash will be in parallel and graally replaced for quite a long time. "“ For digital currency, blockchain technology is an optional technology, which is characterized by distributed bookkeeping, non account based and non tampering. If digital currency focuses on the protection of personal privacy, blockchain technology can be selected. The people's Bank of China has deployed an important force to study and discuss blockchain application technology. However, so far, blockchain still occupies too many resources, whether it is computing resources or storage resources, which can not cope with the current transaction scale. Whether it can be solved in the future depends on the situation. "
the development of Internet is in the ascendant and irreversible. The development of the network world and its connection and integration with the real society are also the general trend, and the corresponding rules and technology are of great significance. China has been in the forefront of the world in Internet application, and should actively explore and contribute to new rule making and technology application, and strive to lead the new development of the Internet world
what is the concept of blockchain? People will realize that blockchain technology plays a more and more important role in reality, and is supported by many organizations, so that the popularization of blockchain in reality has entered a new application stage.
some countries have shown great interest in the blockchain technology of decentralized data management framework to store public data. For example, essentia is developing an e-government project with the Central Union of agricultural procers and forest owners in Finland, The project will apply blockchain technology to enable urban and rural residents in Finland to query various records, fully meet the needs of residents and employers, and improve the employment rate. In addition, the use of this technology can also improve the efficiency of government operation, so that residents can easily query ecation, public records, voting and other information
waste recycling
for example, an intelligent waste management system in China adopts the RFID technology of waltonchain company. Using this blockchain application of waltonchain, it can effectively monitor the waste level, so as to improve the management and operation efficiency and resource optimization
identity recognition
chug, a Swiss city known as "encryption Valley", has developed an identity authentication system with its partner uport by using blockchain technology, through which citizens can participate in online voting and proof of residence
border control
essentia has been in contact with the Dutch government, hoping to use its blockchain technology to establish a set of border inspection system for the Dutch government to check passengers between Amsterdam and London. At present, passengers of Eurostar high-speed rail between the two countries need to undergo border control checks at multiple locations. Essentia is working on a blockchain based solution that will securely store passenger data so that inspection records from the Netherlands can also be reviewed by UK Border agencies. Blockchain technology will ensure that the data has not been tampered with and is verifiable and accurate
health care
as we all know, medical records are very scattered and prone to errors. Inconsistent data processing process will make hospitals and clinics often forced to deal with some incorrect or incomplete patient records. For example, Medrec, a blockchain electronic medical record system developed by MIT, uses blockchain technology to promote data sharing. At the same time, it can also provide authentication and confidentiality services
enterprise management
as enterprise customers of Microsoft azure applications, they can make use of blockchain as a service (baas), which will enable enterprises to access smart contracts and blockchain applications in a secure hosting environment. According to media reports, Google is also developing a proprietary blockchain project to support its cloud based business. And alpha, Google's parent company, is developing a distributed accounting project that third parties will be able to use to store data related to Google's cloud services
medical data
medical centers that digitize patient records do not store data among multiple devices. They usually store data on centralized servers, which has become the main target of hackers. The wannacry attack on NHS hospital in the UK proves this. But in addition, even if the security risk is ignored, there is still the problem of fragmentation. At present, there are more than 50 different electronic medical record systems (EHR) operating in hospitals in different cities around the world, and there are usually dozens of different medical application systems in the same city. These independent systems can't perform interoperation, and the data of patients in each hospital can only be distributed in different data storage centers
in the case of patients' life and death, the lack of reliable medical data contrast and slow operation efficiency will be fatal. Essentia's application framework solves all these problems by using blockchain based system, which will store all clinical data of patients, and can access these data immediately regardless of geographical boundaries. In this system, the patient's medical record privacy can also be protected, and only the authorized medical personnel can access it in a specific period of time
Music Proction
one of the main advantages of blockchain technology is that it eliminates unnecessary middlemen or middlemen. The music instry is a typical example. In this instry, if artists are inefficient, they will get very low remuneration. At this time, a number of blockchain based projects have emerged to seek a fairer trading and business environment for music creators, such as artbit, a former gunshot rose drummer Matt Soren as director
carbon compensation
as a highly instrialized country, China's environmental change is huge. In March 2017, IBM and energy blockchain labs jointly launched the hyperledger fabric blockchain project to discover China's carbon assets, which not only creates a measurable and auditable system for tracking carbon emissions, but also provides a tradable market for companies seeking to offset energy consumption and stimulate green instrial practice
supply chain management
supply chain management is considered to be one of the better cases of applying blockchain, because it is very suitable for the express delivery of such goods from delivery to receipt or the whole process from manufacturer to store. IBM and Wal Mart have jointly launched a blockchain food safety alliance in China. The project is also jointly operated with Jingdong company, aiming to improve food delivery tracking and safety assurance, so as to make it easier to trace food safety issues
facts have proved that China is a mature experimental base for blockchain projects, and it is also the location of the world's first blockchain for agricultural procts (5.180, - 0.25, - 4.60%). Louis Dreyfus Co, a world-famous food trader, has established a blockchain technology project in cooperation with Dutch and French banks. Using this project technology, the transaction settlement is faster than traditional methods in the process of selling soybeans to China
diamond instry
De Beers Group, the world's most famous diamond company, has its own blockchain company and has started operation. Its purpose is to "establish a digital record for every diamond registered on the platform". Considering the origin of diamonds, the ethical standards of origin, and the risk of diamond quality, blockchain technology is a good choice, because every record of it is indelible, and it will ensure that the electronic data of each diamond is as permanent as itself
real estate transactions
currently, Ukraine is the first country to use blockchain technology to promote property transactions. Michael Arlington, the founder of techcrunch, a famous technology website and cryptocurrency player, remotely purchased and resold a real estate in Kiev through the smart contract of Ethereum blockchain. This transaction was completed by propy, a start-up company specializing in blockchain real estate transactions
fisheries
blockchain technology is now being used to support the development of sustainable fisheries. Illegal fishing is a common problem in this instry. The distributed ledger technology of blockchain provides a proof of the capture source, processing and sale mode. This "net to table" supply chain allows inspectors to determine whether the fish caught came from a human rights violation area or from a country affected by economic sanctions
art paintings
similar to diamond trading, the art instry relies on the provenance and authenticity of art works. Although the blockchain cannot identify whether a painting is an original or a fake, it can be used to prove the identity of the previous owner of the painting. In addition, blockchain technology is now also used as a means to obtain works of art. It can make tangible goods easily traded and exchanged anywhere in the world without physical transfer from a secure storage place
public facilities
in Freemantle, Australia, a project dedicated to distributed energy and water system management is using blockchain technology, and solar panels (3.340, - 0.06, - 1.76%) are being used in sunny areas to obtain electricity, which is then used to heat water and provide electricity, All these energy conversion and use information will be recorded in the blockchain data
in Chile, the National Energy Commission has started to use the blockchain technology as the verification of the country's energy use data, and some sensitive data will be stored in the blockchain. The application of this technology can be regarded as a means for the modernization and safe operation of power infrastructure in this South American country
LGBT rights
blockchain can help build a "pink economy" and help LGBT communities fight for their own rights without revealing people's identities. This is an extremely important issue, because crimes of discrimination against homosexual groups often occur, especially in countries notorious for human rights violations, Homosexuality is illegal, or at least not allowed
catastrophe bonds
catastrophe bonds may be the only hope for victims of earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters. Blockchain allows fast and transparent reconciliation between the parties, and can ensure that the system can continue to operate normally even under unmanned operation. Now, blockchain has been successfully used in the settlement mechanism of catastrophe bonds
tourism
local institutions in Hawaii are studying how to use blockchain technology to improve the economy, such as opening bitcoin and other monetary payment means to facilitate tourists' transaction of local goods and services. In this way, the Hawaiian government hopes to attract tourists, especially those from Asia, to spend more money in the local area and improve the economic development of Hawaii
homeland security
in 2016, the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a project that will use blockchain technology as a means of secure storage and capture of data transmission. DHS uses Factom's blockchain technology to encrypt and store data captured by security cameras and other sensors. The application of this blockchain technology will greatly rece the risk of data leakage. At present, the project is still in progress
maritime transportation
it is self-evident that blockchain is used to record ship transportation data. At present, some local shipping projects have adopted distributed ledger technology. In the maritime logistics instry, blockchain technology can make the inevitable cumbersome management proceres in international trade more transparent and orderly. Maersk, one of the world's largest shippers, is a pioneer in the use of blockchain. Today, Yixing international shipping company Zim has also made follow-up use of blockchain technology.
leou online culture and tourism platform is the world's first blockchain tourism platform covering six tourism fields, such as food, housing, transportation, tourism, shopping and entertainment. It transforms the old points system of enterprises to a certain extent and transforms it into new points independently issued by enterprises with blockchain as the underlying technology, realizing free trading and exchange of points, Make the best use of the service and function of points, help the service providers to achieve customer drainage, and help the tourism consumers to obtain greater benefits
2. Air ticket and hotel reservation: Russian Siberian Airlines (S7) and Alfa bank cooperate to sell air tickets on the blockchain. One of the main advantages of adopting this technology is to speed up the payment process<
3. Loyalty program of hotels and airlines
loyyal is a general loyalty reward platform based on blockchain and smart contract technology. It proposed to use blockchain technology to make tourists better obtain loyalty points in 2016 instry Theme Conference held by Du Yacht Hotel, so as to promote the development of tourism instry. In addition, Singapore Airlines (SIA) also announced in 2018 that it will launch a customer loyalty KrisFlyer program based on blockchain for Airbus
4. Track pilot's professional certificate and qualification
Airbus, a participant of hyperledger blockchain alliance, is also exploring the possibility of blockchain application. The test project is to track pilot's professional certificate and qualification by using blockchain
5. Credit consumption management
on the airbnb platform, reputation is extremely important. Only when the user's reputation reaches a certain level can he rent a specific type of house. Airbnb uses blockchain technology to better establish the reputation platform of merchants and passengers, and also to effectively store identity information
6. Digital identity authentication
Joanne Zen, founder of backpack chain in New Zealand, is leading the team to create BTA system, which combines the underlying blockchain technology with Internet application to create personal electronic digital identity authentication. When users register in the backpack chain app, in addition to the conventional registration process, they also need to scan the user's passport and upload face recognition information, which proces the unique mobile personal ID information in the world. Each ID information owner will have a string of keys, which only the information owner knows
7. Verify housing information
airbnb provides more than 2 million housing information from 191 countries and has received 60 million customers. P2P hotel website has achieved some success in optimizing the one-stop process of hotel leasing. It is also exploring the verification of housing information, establishing a short message communication system to enable customers to communicate with homeowners, and improving the payment experience
8. Electronic identity management
in Estonia, blockchain technology has been applied to the development of electronic identity projects. It is reported that non Estonian residents are allowed to apply for e-citizenship in the country, similar to a permanent residence card or identity card, which enables these residents to enjoy a series of services provided by the country. At present, Estonia uses this program to encourage talented people from all over the world to start their own businesses. Such plans will greatly promote the development of tourism in some destinations. You can pay more attention to bitMom
If you want to understand the application of blockchain, you can refer to many books and opinions, such as illustrated blockchain, blockchain: reshaping the economy and the world, blueprint and guide of new economy, and articles of coin'an community, including a detailed understanding of the platform of coin'an community, with great strength
As the name suggests, blockchain is composed of block and chain. It is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and so on. It is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in order according to the time sequence, and it is a secure and reliable distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptographyin 2008, in his paper bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system published by Nakamoto, he first proposed the idea of blockchain and encrypted digital currency. Starting from bitcoin, blockchain has become the underlying technology of various digital currencies
2. Working principle of blockchain:
1. Basic concepts include:
(1) transaction: one operation will change the account status once, such as adding a record
(2) block: records the transaction and status data within a specified time, which is a consensus and preservation of the current account status
(3) chain: it is composed of a series of blocks in chronological order, which is the log record of the whole state change
if you understand the working concept of blockchain, it is not difficult to understand its working principle. Suppose there is a distributed data logbook, which can only be added, deleted or changed. Its structure is a linear chain formed by a series of "blocks" (which is also the source of the name of "blockchain"), and new data needs to be added, It must be put into a new block. The maintenance node can propose a new block, but it must go through a certain consensus mechanism to reach an agreement on the final selected block
2. Take bitcoin as an example to see the working principle of blockchain
the block of bitcoin is divided into block head and block body< The core advantages and characteristics of blockchain are as follows:
3.
1. The verification, accounting, storage, maintenance and transmission of blockchain data are all based on the distributed system structure. There is no centralized hardware or management organization, and the rights and obligations of any node are equal, The data blocks in the system are jointly maintained by the nodes with maintenance function in the whole system
2. Open and transparent
the system is open, in addition to the private information of all parties to the transaction is encrypted, the data of the blockchain is open to all, and anyone can query the blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
3. Security
blockchain adopts consensus based specifications and Protocols (such as a set of open and transparent algorithms) to enable all nodes in the whole system to exchange data freely and safely in a de trusted environment, so that the trust in "people" is changed into the trust in machines, and any human intervention does not work
4. Information cannot be tampered with
once the information is verified and added to the blockchain, it will be stored permanently. Unless more than 51% (almost impossible) nodes in the system can be controlled at the same time, the modification of the database on a single node is invalid, so the data stability and reliability of the blockchain are extremely high
5. Anonymity
because the exchange between nodes follows a fixed algorithm, their data interaction does not need trust (the program rules in the blockchain will judge whether the activity is effective by themselves), so the counterparties do not need to let the counterparties generate trust by disclosing their identities, which is very helpful for credit accumulation
1. Public chain: anyone can participate in the use and maintenance, and can obtain the effective confirmation of the blockchain. Public chain is the earliest blockchain and the most widely used blockchain at present, such as bitcoin blockchain. The information is completely public
if the licensing mechanism is introced, it includes private chain and alliance chain
2. Private chain: a company or indivial only uses the blockchain technology and enjoys the write permission of the blockchain, and the information is not disclosed. At present, conservative giants (traditional finance) want to experiment with private blockchain, and the application procts of private blockchain are still groping
3. Alliance chain: it is a blockchain controlled by multiple organizations, which is between the public chain and the existing chain. The use of the chain is managed with authority, which can be controlled by the manager, and also open to others according to the manager's wishes
in addition, according to the different use scenarios and purposes of blockchain, it can be divided into currency chain for the purpose of digital currency, property chain for the purpose of recording property rights, and crowdfunding chain for the purpose of crowdfunding
take Maotai liquor as an example:
distillery address, proction workshop, operation staff, inspector, delivery time, transportation vehicle information and driver information,
liquor year, raw material source, raw material supplier, storage warehouse number, raw material transportation vehicle and driver information,
all information can be accurately traced, permanently recorded and tampered with
the above information can be easily verified
2. Food safety issues as early as last November, Wal Mart has cooperated with IBM to track the source of food by using blockchain technology, so as to ensure the safety of food and increase the circulation of food to rece costs. For Wal Mart and other large supermarkets, it took a few days to investigate the source of problem food, After using this technology, only one item of proct information is needed to achieve accurate traceability, and important information such as food origin, inspector, supplier, logistics and transportation can quickly find problems in a few minutes. Currently, procts tracked by blockchain include packaging procts from the United States and pork from China
3. Information security
blockchain technology is promoting an information security technology revolution. (1) identity protection PKI is a common public key encryption technology in e-mail, message application, website and other communication applications. However, since the implementation of most PKI, the centralized trusted third party certification authority (CA) is used to issue, activate and store user certificates. Hackers can attack PKI to fake user identity or crack encrypted information
certcoin is the first PKI implementation of blockchain, which comes from MIT, removes the centralized authentication center, and uses blockchain as a distributed ledger for domain name and public key
pomcor company: blockchain PKI implementation path: keep the authentication center, and use blockchain to store the hash value of issued and activated certificates. Users can verify the authenticity of certificates through decentralized and transparent sources, and can also improve the network access performance through local authentication of secret key and signature based on blockchain
(2) data integrity protection
guardtime developed a secret key free signature architecture (Ksi) based on blockchain technology to replace the secret key based data authentication technology. Ksi stores the hash table of the original data and files on the blockchain, runs the hash algorithm to verify other copies, and compares the results with the data stored in the blockchain. Any data tampering will be found quickly because the original hash table is stored in millions of nodes
(3) key infrastructure protection
the "Achilles heel" of the Internet, DDoS has entered the TB era, DDoS is still the simplest weapon for hackers to bring down the big target with low cost, DNS service is the primary target for hackers to carry out large-scale destruction, but blockchain technology is expected to fundamentally solve the problem
The distributed storage ofblockchain makes hacker attacks lose focus. Nebulis is developing a distributed DNS system, which uses Ethereum blockchain and interstellar Internet file system (IPFs, the distributed substitute of HTTP) to register and resolve domain names. The biggest weakness of DNS is caching, which makes DDoS attacks possible. It is also the bane of the centralized government's censorship of social networks and manipulation of DNS registration. A highly transparent and distributed DNS system can effectively prevent any entity, including the government, from arbitrarily manipulating records
(1) digital currency: improve the convenience of currency issuance and use, such as bitcoin and Ethernet in foreign countries, and guorenbao in Chinafrom the use of physical transactions, to physical currency and credit currency, and then to the rise of bitcoin network, more and more people are aware of the distributed ledger blockchain technology behind it, and graally apply it in many scenarios other than digital currency
(2) cross border payment and settlement: realize point-to-point transaction, rece intermediate fees
transfer and payment. At present, the most mature application of blockchain technology is payment and transfer. Blockchain technology can avoid complicated systems, save the process of inter-bank reconciliation and review, and accelerate the settlement speed; Virtual currency can rece transaction costs without the intervention of clearing house. Different countries have different clearing proceres. It takes two or three days for a single remittance to arrive, which is inefficient and accounts for a large proportion of funds in transit. No longer through the third party, through the blockchain technology to form point-to-point payment. By eliminating the link of the third-party institutions, we can make full day payment, real-time payment, withdraw cash quickly and rece the hidden cost, which helps to avoid the capital risk. It is timely and convenient
(3) bills and supply chain financial business: rece human intervention, rece costs and operational risksvalue transfer between point-to-point, control and verify physical bills or central system; Intermediaries will be eliminated and human intervention reced. With the improvement of efficiency, financing channels are more unblocked, risks are lower, and multiple parties benefit
(4) securities issuance and Trading: realize quasi real-time asset transfer, accelerate the speed of transaction clearing
the application of blockchain technology can make the process of securities trading more concise, transparent and fast, rece the plication of IT system, and improve the efficiency of market operation. For stocks, blockchain can eliminate paper and pen or electronic form records, rece human errors in trading, and improve the transparency and traceability of trading platform. Citigroup and Nasdaq cooperate to promote blockchain applications
(5) customer credit investigation and anti fraud: rece the cost of legal compliance, prevent financial crimes
the customer information and transaction records recorded in the blockchain help banks identify abnormal transactions and effectively prevent fraud. The technical characteristics of blockchain can change the existing credit reference system, which can be implemented in banks
blockchain technology has been questioned by the collapse of the centralized currency exchange, but its potential to solve the trust and centralization problems of the existing information architecture has attracted a lot of attention. Blockchain technology first gained great popularity in the field of bitcoin and digital currency. It uses a single shared ledger to store information. It is no longer to let a single central organization obtain the account book, but to obtain multiple copies of the same distributed account book by different nodes in the peer-to-peer network. Shenzhen yuanzhongrui blockchain technology adopts advanced encryption technology to ensure that any new information in the account book can not be tampered, unless it meets some preset parameters. Moreover, this kind of Ledger has stronger defense against external attacks, such as network attacks, because this decentralized system does not have a single point of failure with high cost of centralized information architecture. At the same time, all trusted nodes can affect any modification of the ledger, provided that they meet the specific preset parameters. These changes will be immediately reflected in the ledger, and all trusted nodes can obtain relevant data to make correct decisions. It can also adjust the design of the distributed ledger, create a hierarchical system within the architecture, and configure appropriate access rights and different levels of authority
blockchain and distributed ledger technology are concive to change the management mode of land registration. At present, the credibility of the real estate market is at the lowest level, which is attributed to the inefficient and opaque property registration system. The system relies on the centralized acquisition of land registration and corresponding property transaction information. Using distributed ledger technology to obtain, manage and modify these information can ensure that the public will not be infringed by land transaction fraud. Similarly, distributed ledger can simplify and integrate cross instry and cross regulatory compliance process, because it contains real-time compliance information needed by government departments, banks, investors and other third parties. By integrating data points of multiple projects and providing feedback on beneficiaries' project participation, we can better track the implementation of social welfare plans
at present, the biggest problems of technology development include: transformation cost of unique data storage system, data reliability verification of network nodes or all levels, privacy and security dimension of decentralized data acquisition, and revision of information technology act. What's important is that blockchain technology will change the way the government interacts with citizens, and this huge change is bound to be resisted by civil servants. These are all possible problems. We should take immediate action to formulate a regulatory framework to guide application development in addition to adopting blockchain technology.
blockchain technology does not rely on additional third-party management institutions or hardware facilities, and there is no central control. In addition to the self-contained blockchain itself, each node realizes information self verification, transmission and management through distributed accounting and storage. Decentralization is the most prominent and essential feature of blockchain< Second, openness:
the foundation of blockchain technology is open source. In addition to the private information of all parties to the transaction is encrypted, the data of blockchain is open to all. Anyone can query blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent< Third, independence:
based on consensus specifications and Protocols (similar to various mathematical algorithms such as hash algorithm used by bitcoin), the whole blockchain system does not rely on other third parties, and all nodes can automatically and safely verify and exchange data in the system without any human intervention< Fourth, security:
as long as 51% of all data nodes cannot be controlled, the network data cannot be arbitrarily controlled and modified, which makes the blockchain itself relatively safe and avoids subjective and artificial data changes
5. Anonymity:
unless there are legal requirements, technically speaking, the identity information of each block node does not need to be disclosed or verified, and information transmission can be carried out anonymously
Digital China is the first major development strategy explicitly put forward in the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

enhance the judicial effectiveness of notarization
the core value of notarization is that the evidence effect of notarization must be authoritative and can be accepted by judicial institutions, which requires it to have sufficient guarantee in terms of authenticity, and blockchain notarization can provide sufficient guarantee in this aspect
the network account book of the blockchain adopts the distributed storage accounting mode, and is equipped with the technologies such as permission system configuration, multi-level encryption mechanism, partition consensus protection mechanism, and timestamp to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the data. After the formation of notarized documents, once a series of actions such as uploading the blockchain and stamping the time stamp are completed, the file data recorded on the chain will be extremely difficult to tamper with. No matter when and who registers the file content, it has the complete sense of uniqueness and traceability, which greatly improves the effectiveness of notarized judicial evidence<

improve the efficiency of notarization work
cumbersome evidence confirmation process, a large number of manual audit cost investment, has been a huge problem faced by the notarization instry, the blockchain certificate can effectively solve this problem
through face recognition, live detection, electronic signature and other artificial intelligence technologies, blockchain notarization can directly connect with the latest data source of the public security information database, and then conct comparison and recognition to quickly confirm the identity of the parties. The hardware acceleration of blockchain notarization, such as GPU / FPGA, 10000 level smart contract sandbox TPS and other intelligent auxiliary systems, can help the notary office to process notarial certificate generation, execution certificate generation, intelligent query and other operations in seconds, which effectively solves the tedious and time-consuming problems of evidence solidification and preservation process, and greatly improves the efficiency of notaries' business, At the same time, it can also effectively avoid manual errors and other problems

broaden the boundary of notarization business
with the improvement of work efficiency, the notary office can free up more human and material resources to expand the scope of notarization business in Xinjiang. In the era of digital economy, almost all transactions and payments are completed online, which will proce many new notarization needs. Of course, notarization institutions should move from time to time to provide corresponding notarization services for citizens in the digital era
although the blockchain technology is still in its infancy in China and even in the world, it has been recognized by most people that it will be the infrastructure of the next generation of digital era. I believe that in the near future, the data on the blockchain will achieve massive growth, which is undoubtedly a huge and valuable data resource library for notarization, and it is also a blue ocean for the market. Therefore, whoever gets the ticket of blockchain notarization earlier will gain the leading power in the era of digital notarization, and then continue to expand the scope of notarization service in Xinjiang

deepen the inherent value of notarization
in addition, the emergence of blockchain notarization certificate has also brought changes to the business connotation of notarization institutions. First, the emergence of the public certificate of blockchain expands the single practice mode of notarization institutions to carry out practice activities through notarization intelligent platform; Second, the emergence of blockchain notarization makes notarization develop from the traditional independent practice of notarization institutions to the practice of interaction and cooperation between notarization institutions and technology companies, judicial institutions and even parties; Thirdly, the process of block chain notarization has changed from passive evidence preservation notarization to active evidence preservation. The notarization function has been extended to maximize the value of dispute prevention of notarization.
