blockchain technology in cryptocurrency.pptx
Blockchain technology is the backbone that underpins cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It is a decentralized ledger of transactions shared across a peer-to-peer network, allowing participants to confirm transactions without a central authority. Blockchain provides a secure way to store transaction information that makes it difficult to hack. Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency built upon this blockchain technology, with new bitcoins "mined" by solving complex math problems that verify transactions and add them to the distributed ledger.
What is a blockchain?
A brief and basic presentation on what is a blockchain. I presented this topic on 8 September 2018 to a group that was mostly new to blockchain.
Blockchain for Beginners
Blockchains are distributed ledgers that use consensus protocols to track ownership or transactions across copies of the ledger maintained by members. A blockchain uses a consensus protocol like proof-of-work to agree on changes and additions to the distributed ledger. Membership in blockchains can be open to anyone, like in Bitcoin, or restricted to a fixed group. While blockchains provide advantages like distributed trust, achieving scalability is challenging due to the need for consensus among all members on every change.

Litecoin Crypto Currency Bootcamp
Litecoin Genesis Date - October 7, 2011
Founder Charlie Lee, a former Google and Coinbase employee.
Litecoin reached a $1 billion marketcap in November 2013.[
In May 2017, Litecoin became the first of the top-5 (by market cap) cryptocurrencies to adopt Segregated Witness .
Later in May of the same year, the first Lightning Network transaction was completed through litecoin, transferring 0.00000001 LTC from Zurich to San Francisco in under one second.
Bitcoin final
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency introduced in 2009 by an anonymous person named Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoins are created through mining, where solving complex math problems rewards miners with bitcoins. The total number of bitcoins that can ever be created is limited to 21 million. Bitcoins can be stored in digital wallets and spent using private keys. While bitcoin provides benefits like low fees and accessibility anywhere, it also has risks like use for illicit activities and price volatility. Some countries have banned bitcoin due to these risks and inability to control or track bitcoin transactions.

The Bitcoin blockchain (en)
Blockchain and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin enable new forms of digital money and financial contracts. Bitcoin introduced a trustless digital currency using cryptography to secure a distributed public ledger called the blockchain. Miners on the Bitcoin network process transactions and add them to blocks which get added to the immutable blockchain roughly every 10 minutes. Over time, the blockchain has grown large as a record of all transactions, posing scalability challenges. New applications like smart contracts and alternative currencies like Namecoin build on this innovation to enable decentralized applications and services.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 13. Use Cases ● Cryptocurrency ○ “Anon#1 (Duncan) pays Anon#8 (Jack) $100” ● Zero Knowledge Proofs ○ “Sub Tap reserves reserves table #3 for Anon#12312 (Duncan)” ● Self-Sovereign Identity ○ “GA gov’t says Anon #12312 (Duncan) >21 years old”
Editor's Notes
- DLT stands for… Blockchain is special kind of DLT So, what actually is dlt and blockchain?
- Let’s say we’re playing poker and we want to keep track of how much money we each have In a traditional database, we would list names and assign a value Then after we play poker, we would update those values The database keeps a record of what everyone has at this current moment.
- In one location managed by one party How do I verify information? Ask google. In order for you to believe the information, you must trust the database… there’s no verification of the data aside from it being there.
- On a ledger, we only track the CHANGES, so we have a running list of IOUs
- DLT can be seen as an intersection of several areas of SW Engineering, so we can take several approaches to tackling SW Quality … We can treat DLT as generic SW and apply general SQA standards… We can treat DLT as Open-Source Software and… We can come from a perspective of Software Maturity and use CMM Or we can analyze some of the specificities in DLT … Because other projects/ some of the lectures go into the first 3 in depth, For the purpose of this presentation we are going to focus only on the Blockchain specific approaches
- Finally, most importantly, our SQA is affected by the specific use case of DLT As a general rule of thumb, as the use case becomes more complex, the SQA efforts become more complex as well.
