74. 1f Cryptography 6/30/2022 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983) 74

75. A word about Cryptography 1. If we wish to communicate without third party knowing we use Cryptography. 2. It is the study and practice of secure communication in the presence of third parties called adversaries. 3. It comes from Greek words meaning hidden, secret, to write and study. 4. Cipher text is unintelligble text as opposed to understandable plain text 6/30/2022 75 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

77. 1g Hash Function, NONCE, Merkle Tree, Consensus Algorithm 6/30/2022 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983) 77

78. Cryptographic Hash Function 1. Mathematical Algorithm turns data (called message) of any size to a fixed size string called a hash or digest. 2. It is a one way function ie one cannot retrieve message from digest. It is infeasible to do so. 3. It is deterministic in that message will always produce same digest 4. It is quickly done 5. Any small change in message will produce a totally different digest 6. It is infeasible to have same digest from two different messages 6/30/2022 78 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

79. Hashing SHA 256 (Secure Hashing Algorithm) Text SHA 256 Hash of your string (https://passwordsgenerator.net/sha256-hash-generator/) Hi 3639EFCD08ABB273B1619E82E78C29A7DF02C1051B1820E99FC395DCAA3326B8 Welcome 0E2226B5235F0FF94A276EB4D07A3BFEA74B7E3B8B85E9EFCA6C18430F041BF8 Taka 3000 1445603B96C797AD81A6964BDE7414D46B595BDD709E35D23BADB3550D7E2A5C 1. In the case of SHA-256, no matter how big or small your input is, the output will always have a fixed 256-bits length (64 characters) 2. This becomes critical when you are dealing with a huge amount of data and transactions. 3. So basically, instead of remembering the input data which could be huge, you can just remember the hash and keep track. 4. https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/sha256.html 5. https://passwordsgenerator.net/sha256-hash-generator/ 6. https://andersbrownworth.com/blockchain/ 6/30/2022 79 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

80. 6/30/2022 80 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983) Proof of Work

81. NONCE and PROOF OF WORK -1 NONCE – Number used ONCE • It is an arbitrary number used once • Used in cryptographic communication • Nonce are used to avoid replay attacks. • For example an attacker could order products over and over again under the same name and purchase information by getting hold of the encrypted order information and—without needing to decrypt—continue to repeatedly send that particular order to the supplier. • The nonce is used to give 'originality' to a given message so that if the company receives any other order from the same person with the same nonce, it will discard those as invalid orders. • In Bitcoin mining miners who find a nonce to obtain the desirable hash wins bitcoins. 6/30/2022 81 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

82. NONCE and PROOF OF WORK-2 Proof of Work • Proof-of-Work, or PoW, is the original consensus algorithm in a Blockchain network. • In Blockchain, this algorithm is used to confirm transactions and produce new blocks to the chain. • With PoW, miners compete against each other to complete transactions on the network and get rewarded • Nonce are used in Proof of Work • Nonces are used in proof of work systems to vary the input to a cryptographic hash function so as to obtain a hash for a certain input that fulfills certain arbitrary conditions. 6/30/2022 82 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

83. Blockchain Transaction Data represented as a Merkle Tree 6/30/2022 83 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

84. 1h Smart Contracts 6/30/2022 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983) 84

85. Smart Contracts • Smart contracts are Blockchain-based contracts enforced in real-time by computer code and no human intervention. • They are created as an agreement between two or more parties without the involvement of any intermediary. • The contract exists across a distributed and decentralized Blockchain network. • Smart contracts are now a staple in healthcare, real estate, and even for government agencies. 6/30/2022 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983) 85

It (Bitcoin) was not issued by any Government or third party 6/30/2022 92 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)

94. What is Ethereum? 1. Ethereum is an open software platform based on blockchain technology that enables developers to build and deploy decentralized applications. 2. Thirty big banks, tech giants, and other organizations—including J.P. Morgan Chase, Microsoft, and Intel—are uniting to build business-ready versions of the software behind Ethereum, a decentralized computing network based on digital currency. 3. Until relatively recently, building blockchain applications has required a complex background in coding, cryptography, mathematics as well as significant resources. 4. But times have changed. Previously unimagined applications, from electronic voting & digitally recorded property assets to regulatory compliance & trading are now actively being developed and deployed faster than ever before.

108. Blockchain comes to rescue Networking Professionals 1. Networking professionals design, configure, monitor and secures network. 2. It is difficult to ensure whether data provided by networking analysis tools have been compromised or not. 3. Shifting network and packet management data to a smart contract based, decentralized Blockchain will certainly give networking professionals confidence that data is verifiable, auditable, tamper proof. 4. Multiple observers/ nodes can participate to create consensus for network data/ traffic. 5. Marconi protocol is a new blockchain protocol that uses programmable packets to enhance security, privacy and neutrality. 6. Marconi protocol provides for a new networking management infrastructure that retains the connectivity of Ethernet but supplements it with security, privacy, and decentralized networking. 6/30/2022 108 The Computers Limited (Estd 1983)
