Data management based on blockchain Technology

1.

blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin,

in essence, it is a decentralized database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains a batch of information of bitcoin network transactions, Used to verify the validity of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block

extended data

most blockchain public chains are limited by scalability. The biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, which requires that all accounts in the network need to deal with the accounting process. Distributed accounting has high security, low misoperation rate, political neutrality and correctness

however, blockchain technology embraces these features at the same time, sacrificing scalability, unable to meet the personalized supervision, and slightly insufficient in protecting data privacy. Moreover, with the increase of the number of ledger, the interaction delay will increase exponentially, that is to say, the more ledger in the blockchain network, the higher the delay

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 cryptography

in 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 blockchain

1. 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 participants

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, 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 obtained

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 of

blockchain 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 China

from 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 risks

value 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:

3. Blockchain technology brings new growth possibilities to these fields. For example, in the insurance field, combined with blockchain technology, we can see growth opportunities for reinsurance in the future; In the field of health care, the integration of medical data and file management can also be realized through distributed ledger technology; The combination of supply chain and blockchain technology will create more financing opportunities
all of the above are potential application fields of blockchain technology, but if the first large-scale application field of blockchain technology, I think it will be in the fields of insurance and health care
because the current data in these two fields are very scattered and chaotic, they can be integrated systematically through blockchain technology. In the future, a lot of business opportunities can be found after specific analysis of these data
some excellent digital currencies have begun to appear in China, such as Puyin, a tea standard digital currency launched by Puyin group. Puyin is a high-quality Tibetan tea asset that is stored, identified, evaluated and authorized by three parties, and a standard digital currency that is issued through encryption and digitization.

4. Chongqing jinwowo analysis: with its trustworthiness, security and non tamperability, blockchain liberates more data and promotes the massive growth of data.

5.

blockchain (English: blockchain or block chain) is a kind of distributed database . You may have heard about bitcoin, which is the core technology. Blockchain is a series of data blocks generated by cryptography. Each data block contains the information of a network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of the information and generate the next block. In a popular concept, blockchain is an account that everyone can keep. In a company or organization, most people only have the right to keep accounts, while only a few people with professional training have the right to keep accounts. Of course, blockchain is not an account book in the traditional sense. It has the following three key points in technical principle: first, decentralization. In a network practicing blockchain technology, each computer covered by it can read and add records. From the perspective of account book, they are the people who keep accounts together, and there is no authoritative person to guide and correct them. Second, asymmetric encryption. Although everyone can remember this account, they will not be able to read it unless they are in the Bureau. Because, in the accounting process, everyone follows the unified encryption rules, but when reading, they must use their own unique decryption method. Therefore, although everyone keeps this constantly updated account, the part they can read is only the one they can decrypt, that is, the part related to themselves. Third, time stamp. That is, time stamp (English: timestamp), refers to the string or coded information used to identify the recorded time and date. Each block on the blockchain is arranged in sequence according to the time it is generated, and is confirmed by collective authentication. Moreover, previous records cannot be modified. Just like in an account, we can index and verify the previous content through the records after a point in time. Once these contents are confirmed, it will be more difficult to tamper with them

blockchain technology is to maintain a growing distributed database of data records. These data are associated with all the data written before through cryptography technology, which makes it difficult for the third party or even the owner of the node to tamper with. Block contains the data that need to be saved in the database, and these data are written into the database through block organization. Chain usually refers to the use of Merkle tree and other methods to check whether all the current blocks have been modified. This is familiar to code farmers who have used git for a long time. Recall how to modify git's history

blockchain technology is mainly divided into three categories, which are open, collaborative and private

public blockchain

example: bitcoin, Ethereum frontier. The data on the public blockchain can be accessed by all people, and all people can issue transactions waiting to be written into the blockchain. Participants in the consensus process (corresponding to the miners in bitcoin) maintain the security of the database through cryptography technology and built-in economic incentives. Open blockchain is completely distributed

highlights and pain points: the open blockchain is completely distributed and has all the characteristics of bitcoin. However, it needs sufficient cost to maintain the system operation and relies on built-in incentives. At present, only bitcoin in the public blockchain is safe enough. If the algorithm is the same as bitcoin, it will be safe; There are no built-in rewards, but they are not; It's easy to concentrate on the attack of computing power (for example, as long as the raid sweeps goods and a large number of graphics cards), and take jujube pills. The more valuable the data on the open blockchain is, the more important it is to examine its security, transaction cost and system scalability

federated blockchain

example: audit system tried by hyperledger and Deloitte. The nodes participating in the blockchain are selected in advance, and there is likely to be a good network connection between the nodes. Other consensus algorithms without workload proof can be used on such a blockchain. For example, a blockchain has been established among 100 financial institutions, and more than 67 institutions must agree to reach a consensus. The data on such a blockchain can be public or internal to these node participants. Distributed in a partial sense

highlights and pain points: collaborative blockchain can achieve a good connection between nodes, only need a little cost to maintain operation, provide rapid transaction processing and low transaction costs, has good scalability (but the scalability will decline with the increase of nodes), and data can have certain privacy. Developers have the ability to change the protocol under the consensus. There is no problem with bitcoin hard fork, but it also means that everyone can tamper with the data together under the consensus. Collaborative blockchain also means that the application scope of this blockchain will not be too wide, lacking the network propagation effect of bitcoin

private blockchain

example: Eris instries. The participating nodes are only users themselves, and the access and use of data have strict authority management. Most of the blockchain technologies recently announced by some financial institutions for internal use are vague, but they are probably all within this scope

highlights and pain points: private blockchain is actually a confusing term. Such a system is nothing more than a shared database in the traditional sense. Merkle tree and other methods are used to try to show that the data in it is verifiable. There are already mature solutions for such databases, and Merkle tree is only one of many mature solutions. It's easy for these projects to be "like eggs". Because the user has the final say, the data inside can not be changed, and there is not much protection for the third party. Therefore, many private blockchains exist by attaching to bitcoin, such as recording system snapshots to bitcoin regularly

6. Application of blockchain technology in voting
kuaishang takes the lead in applying blockchain technology to the voting field nationwide, effectively solving the trust problem of voting data, providing the most real and effective data for the participants, protecting the rights and interests of real voting users, and making blockchain technology "people-friendly", so that the general public can quickly perceive and share the information in the field of life services Enjoy the convenience of blockchain technology
Application of blockchain technology in digital asset registration
Jinzhu digital asset service platform takes the lead in using blockchain technology, which is a global distributed ledger technology with the characteristics of traceability, non tampering and non forgery. The digital assets of the platform come from the standard issuers of digital assets, and the asset value is determined by the open market to avoid overestimation or undervaluation
the application of blockchain technology in the financial instry
ant financial's independent and controllable financial grade commercial blockchain platform has been deployed in multiple social and commercial application scenarios by multiple institutions and countries. Ant blockchain platform supports second level confirmation for transactions, and the consensus mechanism uses efficient parallel consensus algorithm to ensure the high performance of the blockchain platform, Ant blockchain has been applied in many proction level applications, applying leading technologies to people's livelihood, commerce, finance and other fields.
