There are several encryption technologies for blockchain
blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin, like a database ledger, recording all transaction records. Because of its safety and convenience, this technology has graally attracted the attention of the banking and financial instry
in April 2018, a group of scholars from Oxford University announced the establishment of Woolf University, the world's first blockchain University
in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order in a sequential way, and it can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography
broadly speaking, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method, which uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access, and uses intelligent contract composed of automated script code to program and operate data.
From the perspective of technology and architecture, I will tell you my understanding of blockchain in common language
what is blockchain? In a word, blockchain is a storage system. To be more specific, blockchain is a distributed storage system without an administrator and each node has all the data
What are the common storage systems like
first, how to ensure high availability
the common storage system usually uses "rendancy" to solve the problem of high availability. As shown in the figure above, if the data can be copied into several copies and rendant to multiple places, high availability can be guaranteed. The data in one place is hung, and there is data in other places. For example, the master-slave cluster of MySQL is the same principle, and the raid of disk is also the same principle
two points need to be emphasized in this place are: data rendancy often leads to consistency problems
1. For example, in the master-slave cluster of MySQL, there is actually a delay in reading and writing, which means there is a inconsistency in reading and writing in a short period of time. This is a side effect of data rendancy
The second point is that data rendancy often reces the efficiency of writing, because data synchronization also consumes resources. If you add two slave libraries, the write efficiency will be affected. The common storage system is to use rendancy to ensure the high availability of dataso the second question, ordinary storage system, can write more
the answer is yes, for example, take this graph as an example:
in fact, MySQL can do a master-slave synchronization of al masters, master-slave synchronization of al masters, two nodes can be written at the same time. If you want to do a multi room multi live data center, in fact, multi room multi live data synchronization. What we should emphasize here is that multi-point writing often leads to the consistency problem of writing conflicts. Take MySQL as an example, suppose that the attribute of a table is self incrementing ID, then the data in the database is 1234 now. If one of the nodes writes and inserts a piece of data, it may become 5, and then these 5 pieces of data are synchronized to another master node, Before synchronization, if another write node inserts a piece of data, a piece of data with self incrementing ID of 5 will be generated. Then, after the generation, synchronize to another node, and the synchronized data will conflict with the two local 5's after it arrives, which will lead to synchronization failure and write consistency conflict. This problem will occur in the case of multi-point writing
how to ensure consistency in multi-point writing
the reform "Swan class" gives you more technical work
1.
Lianzhuang data block structure based on blocks
2.
network wide shared ledger
3.
asymmetric encryption
4.
source code open source
the technical basis of blockchain 2.0 era is as follows:
1.
smart contract; It is an application in the blockchain system. It is a business logic that can run automatically by coding. It usually has its own token and special development language<
2
3.
virtual machine: it is used to execute the compiled code of smart contract. Virtual machine is Turing complete
with the application and deepening of blockchain technology, the era of blockchain 3.0 has come. The mode of blockchain cooperation can be seen from behind the operation of all walks of life. Therefore, blockchain will change the way of human life widely and profoundly, so the whole life service will enter the era of blockchain. In the process of Internet development, blockchain + physical instry, blockchain e-commerce and blockchain community operation can be applied to blockchain technology
of course, 3.0 came into being with the development of modern cryptography. Today's applied cryptography is the result of cryptography 20 years ago. Therefore, in order to apply blockchain technology to more participation scenarios, especially in Internet economy and other aspects, more verification is needed to verify whether the existing encryption technology can meet the demand, and more in-depth integration of cryptographic frontier technology and continuous innovation are needed.
asymmetric encryption algorithm is a function that converts the original plaintext file or data into a series of unreadable ciphertext codes by using an encryption key. The encryption process is irreversible. Only holding the corresponding decryption key can the encrypted information be decrypted into readable plaintext. Encryption enables private data to be transmitted through the public network under the condition of low risk, and protects the data from being stolen and read by the third party
the core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization, which can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the high cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry.
the resolution calls on the idea of bitcoin, but does not directly mention its name. Instead, it calls it "alternative illegal currency". Blockchain technology is the key point, which points out that this technology has the potential to "fundamentally change" the way trust and security are built on online transactions
but in fact, the United States has not taken action to formulate this rule. However, there is a global blockchain alliance R3 in the process of formulating the standard for the use of blockchain. Of course, blockchain is just a technology that can be used by any enterprise. In China, there is a project called decent, which is more avant-garde. It uses blockchain technology to build a decentralized content publishing platform, but it may encounter some problems in China.
the details of these two digital assets are as follows
bitcoin (bitcoin: bitcoin) was originally a kind of network virtual currency, which can buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals
the full name of NMC is "new media chain", the Chinese name is media chain, and the former domain name currency (also referred to as NMC) is two completely different currencies. NMC is the circulating currency of three decentralized application platforms: coin call [blockchain information community portal], coin search [blockchain network query tool], ncoin [digital currency exchange]. However, the prices of these two kinds of digital currencies will fluctuate with the market, which can not guarantee a development prospect. If the current price is concerned, bitcoin will be a bit higher.
