Blockchain network security
if you have problems with blockchain, you are welcome to chat in private~~~~~
blockchain is a decentralized and distributed electronic classified accounting method based on the model of providing absolute security and trust. Using encryption technology, transactions are recorded chronologically and publicly, and each block has a timestamp and a link to the previous block. Importantly, these digital "blocks" can only be updated through the consensus of all participants, and data interception, modification and deletion are almost impossible.
however, it's easy for people with an eye to see why there is no security layer? In fact, several key features of blockchain have already solved the security problem. First, the blockchain uses asymmetric encryption technology. In fact, encryption and decryption are different keys, namely public key and private key. In short, the public key is open to the public, while the private key is absolutely confidential
secondly, distributed bookkeeping is a way for blockchain to store data. It can also be understood as distributed storage, which is consistent with the concept of decentralization. In the form of ledger, there is no central ledger in the network, and the ledger is stored in each node. Each node is not only independent, but also can act as the central node. Therefore, the central node will not be attacked, leading to the loss of core books or data, and the whole network will not be paralyzed
moreover, tamper proof is the basic feature of blockchain. As long as the chain can not be modified, and can not be deleted. If it needs to be changed, based on the principle of transparency and openness, the whole network and all nodes need to be informed. Therefore, under the democratic mechanism, the possibility of tampering with data at will is very low. Therefore, blockchain technology is applied in various instries, such as finance, payment, traceability, games, etc., such as the network "universe", Tencent's "come together to catch the demon", and Zhongan Huanyu blockchain "Dr dragon hunt" are the safe and high-quality procts under the blockchain technology.
Blockchain technology can help us improve the security of encryption, authentication and other protection mechanisms, which is absolutely good news for the Internet of things security and DDoS Defense Community
blockchain has the potential to become an important solution for safe communities, as well as for the financial, energy and manufacturing instries. At present, verifying bitcoin transaction is one of its main uses, but this technology can also be extended to smart grid system, content delivery network and other application scenarios
how to apply blockchain to network security
whether it's protecting data integrity or using digital identification technology to prevent Internet of things devices from DDoS attacks, blockchain technology can play a key role, at least now it has shown this ability
Internet of things security and DDoS Defense Community
a blockchain startup claims that its decentralized "billing" system can help users resist DDoS attacks with traffic over 100gbps. Interestingly, the company said that this decentralized system allows users to rent their own extra bandwidth and submit their bandwidth access rights to the distributed nodes of the blockchain. When a website suffers from DDoS attacks, the website can use the leased bandwidth to mitigate DDoS attacks
improve confidentiality and data integrity
although the original design of blockchain did not consider the specific access control, now some blockchain technology implementation has solved the problems of data confidentiality and access control. In this era, any data may be tampered, which is obviously a serious problem, but the complete data encryption maliciously guarantees that the data will not be accessed or tampered by others through man in the middle attack in the transmission process
the whole IOT instry needs data integrity protection. For example, IBM's Watson IOT platform allows users to manage IOT data in a private blockchain network, which has been integrated into their big blue cloud service. In addition, Ericsson's blockchain data integrity service provides comprehensive audit, compatible and reliable data services to allow developers to use predix PAAS platform for technical implementation
one of the best applications is the transformation of our public sector and the creation of citizen centered infrastructure. This will enable the public to have their own identity and every transaction can be verified. We can use smart contracts and signed assertions to formulate elements of public services, such as benefits, etc
Internet of things & amp; Smart devices
now the attention of the whole IT community has begun to shift to the Internet of things & amp; Smart devices are on the rise, and security is absolutely one of the primary considerations. Although the Internet of things can improve our work and proction efficiency, it also means that we need to face more security risks. As a result, many companies seek to apply blockchain to protect IOT and instrial IOT (iiot) devices because blockchain technology can enhance authentication, improve data traceability and mobility, and assist record management
according to Alexey malanov, an anti-virus expert at Kaspersky laboratory, blockchain technology helps to track hacker attacks, adding:
"network intruders usually clear the permission log to hide traces of unauthorized access to devices. But if the logs are distributed in multiple devices (for example, through blockchain Technology), the risk can be reced as much as possible. "
German Klimenko, chairman of the digital economy development fund, said: "at present, the Ministry of defense is vigorously promoting it development and research, which is a good thing for the instry."
NATO and the Pentagon are also studying the "defensive" Application of blockchain. This technology is actively used to protect the system from network attacks. NATO will use blockchains to protect financial information, supply and logistics chains, while the Pentagon is developing a data transmission system to prevent hackers
in general, blockchain technology is not omnipotent, at least not yet. Whether from the perspective of technical integrity or system implementation, the current blockchain technology can not guarantee the security of the device 100%. Note: the above content comes from the Internet
