Information theory of blockchain

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

2.

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 data

so 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

3. Blockchain is a technology, but it is not a single technology, but the result of the integration of a variety of technologies, including cryptography, mathematics, economics, network science and so on. You can think of it as a distributed shared accounting technology, or as a database, but the database is jointly maintained by all nodes in the chain, and each node has an account book. Because the account books of all nodes are consistent, different nodes can trust each other, and there is no doubt about the data, so we all say that the blockchain has realized trust technically. For detailed professional technology, you can consult some professional technology companies, such as Jinbo technology, which focuses on the development of blockchain related procts, professional R & D team and perfect after-sales service, and you can consult by telephone.

1. Application of blockchain technology in the banking instry the biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, which will rece a lot of costs for the banking instry. The development of digital currency will make it possible for banks to realize real-time digital transactions. For example, in bill transaction, bank bill transaction always relies on the third party to realize the transfer of valuable documents. Even in electronic bill transaction,

also needs to be authenticated through the information of central bank ECDs system. The blockchain technology can realize the point-to-point value transmission, which no longer needs centralized system control. This not only speeds up the bill transmission speed, but also reces the mistakes caused by human factors. The rection of process will naturally rece the demand of the bank for personnel and save the labor cost of the bank

2, the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry

blockchain technology also has incomparable advantages in the insurance instry. From the perspective of data management, the application of blockchain technology can effectively improve the risk management and control ability of insurance companies, including the risk supervision of insurance companies and the risk management of policyholders

the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry can strengthen the internal risk supervision of insurance companies. Blockchain technology can record the daily operation process of insurance company on the node, realize the in-process control of the company's capital flow, investment situation, compensation amount and other business, and improve the company's risk management and control ability

3. Application of blockchain technology in the securities instry

4, blockchain technology and financial infrastructure

blockchain technology is a decentralized mechanism for value exchange, which will lead to earth shaking changes in the existing financial infrastructure characterized by centralization

5. Application of blockchain technology in supply chain, It has become an effective guarantee for enterprise bank's loan credit, financing credit and transaction credit

At present, with the rapid development of science and technology, the situation is surging. If you and I are a little lazy, we may be out. No, the new blockchain is coming. Since the beginning of this year, blockchain has become one of the hottest knowledge points in the field of science and technology, and has become increasingly prominent in the fields of digital finance, Internet Governance and big data computing

blockchain technology also has broad application prospects in the military field, which is very likely to quietly subvert the future war

this is not Xiaole's boasting“ There is nothing more important about the three armed forces than secrecy. " We should know that in the future information battlefield, confidentiality is the key to win or lose the war. Because the blockchain system has many characteristics such as information independence, confidentiality and integrity, it can realize the perfect combination of data storage and data encryption. After being attacked, it also has strong recovery ability, and can protect highly sensitive data, which is of great help to win the war

according to the information collected by Xiaole, some countries are planning to build blockchain information platform and begin to study the application potential of blockchain in several scenarios such as military satellites and nuclear weapons; An international organization is currently evaluating the performance of blockchain technology in military logistics, Internet of things and other fields

if bitcoin and other digital currencies are blockchain 1.0 applications, blockchain 2.0 is the "smart contract" that provides a strong guarantee for network transaction data security. There will be 3.0 in the future, from Dao (blockchain self consistent organization), DAC (blockchain self consistent company) to blockchain society

"cultivate new kinetic energy with informatization, promote new development with new kinetic energy, and create new brilliance with new development." I believe that blockchain, the "new kinetic energy" of science and technology, will bring us more surprises: "one machine in hand, I have it in the world", "trade autonomy", more extensive sharing, and the optimal life mode... Blockchain technology will create a more honest, convenient, and efficient Era of big data

6. In theory, blockchain technology can ensure the authenticity of the original information. One of the biggest characteristics of blockchain is decentralization. The information recorded on the blockchain can not be tampered with and will be forever recorded on the blockchain
so far, no research institution or indivial claims that it can change the tamper proof characteristics of blockchain
decent, a distributed content publishing platform, uses this feature of blockchain to protect users' property rights.
