Blockchain technology provides several benefits to the banking industry for preventing fraud and increasing security and efficiency of transactions. It acts as a shared, immutable ledger that can validate transactions across a distributed network without centralized control. This makes it difficult to tamper with transaction records and prevents frauds like identity theft and double spending. By reducing costs of intermediaries and manual processes, blockchain can lower operating costs for banks by an estimated 27% according to one study. It provides a secure and transparent system for financial transactions.

Blockchain technology is a vast, distributed ledger, operating on millions of devices, recording anything, with identical copies maintained on each of the network computers. When a new transaction or an edit to an existing transaction comes in, generally a majority of the nodes within a blockchain network must execute some algorithms and essentially evaluate and verify the history of the transaction that is proposed and come to a consensus that the history and signature is valid, then the new transaction is accepted into the ledger. If a majority of nodes do not concede to the addition or modification of the ledger entry, then it is denied and not added to the chain. All the members can review previous entries and record new transactions. These are then grouped into âblocksâ, which then form part of a âchainâ, thus leading to a âblockchainâ

Moreover, you will understand smart contracts and blockchain architecture better. With reduced costs and greater efficiency, blockchain use-cases allow employees to focus on better business decisions.
2018 has been a roller-coaster ride for blockchain technology mostly at the hands of cryptocurrencies â blockchainâs main beneficiary. Extreme price volatility, unsuccessful ICOs, fraud, cyber security issues, and negative press around cryptocurrency would have all but killed most emerging technologies. But not blockchain.
Blockchain is entering into a new evolutionary phase with the help of tech giants like IBM, Amazon and Google who recognize the wider applicability of blockchain as a game changer in data storage, commerce, and security. Even cryptocurrency is showing promising signs as it moves out of the domain of overnight Bitcoin millionaires (and more who have lost fortunes when speculating on cryptocurrencies) to risk averse financial heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. Like the Internet, e-commerce, social media, and cloud computing before it, blockchain is on a fast track to become a ubiquitous technology.

It explains the concept of Blockchain which is going revolutionize the world economy. Blockchain is going to change money, business and thus the world.
A blockchain is essentially a distributed database of records or public ledger of all transactions or digital events that have been executed and shared among participating parties. Each transaction in the public ledger is verified by consensus of a majority of the participants in the system. And, once entered, information can never be erased. The blockchain contains a certain and verifiable record of every single transaction ever made. To use a basic analogy, it is easy to steal a cookie from a cookie jar, kept in a secluded place than stealing the cookie from a cookie jar kept in a marketplace, being observed by thousands of people. In the report, it distinguishes between multiple types of blockchains and explains the two biggest platforms, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum. While introducing those two platforms we explain the most important technology and algorithms used such as proof of work concept. Some of the security issues and solutions are also covered. We conclude with some concrete Ethereum based applications that demonstrate the usage of blockchain technology beyond cryptocurrency and illustrate current developments in this ďŹeld.

IoT and Blockchain Challenges and RisksAhmed Banafa
Â
The biggest challenge facing IoT security is coming from the very architecture of the current IoT ecosystem; itâs all based on a centralized model known as the server/client model. All devices are identified, authenticated and connected through cloud servers that support huge processing and storage capacities. The connection between devices will have to go through the cloud, even if they happen to be a few feet apart. While this model has connected computing devices for decades and will continue to support today IoT networks, it will not be able to respond to the growing needs of the huge IoT ecosystems of tomorrow.
There is increasing interest in the potential impact of Blockchain globally, across the business world. Blockchain is transforming data storage, security, digital property management, transactions in a variety of forms, and much, much, more. And the impact will be felt across a number of industries, including manufacturing, insurance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and more.
We believe Blockchain presents a unique opportunity for enterprises to leverage a revolutionary new technology and redefine how they function. The Blockchain Landscape Report 2019 by [X]cubeLABS discusses everything Blockchain ranging from its history, mechanism, and industry-wide adoption to its future potential.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Â
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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
Â
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

2. What is Blockchain?
Blockchain Technology-
⢠A blockchain which was formerly known as Block Chain is a
list in which records are present in a growing nature known
as blocks. These blocks are interlinked and each of them
contains a cryptographic hash that is of the previous block
connected to it. This hash is the key or password, a
timestamp and transaction data is recorded in it.
⢠As per Don and Alex Tapscott, the authors of the Blockchain
Revolution(2016), blockchain is defined as the âincorruptible
digital ledger of economic transactions that can be
programmed t record not just financial transactions but
virtually everything of valueâ.
⢠Blockchain, in short, is a shared ledger decentralized and
resistant to tampering which provides access to the verified
contributors to store, view, and share the digital information
in a secured environment.
Email Us : info@hbgknowledge.com
3. ⢠The development of the internet might get compared as of that to the blockchain. The internet as it is has
always been a boon factor for everything, be it a business or the whole market of social media and
transactions. It has reshaped the lifestyle and businesses since the 1990s.
⢠The blockchain, on the other hand, is also one such factor which takes reshape the whole perspective of
the nature of business.
⢠Not just this, it provides trust, accountability, and transparency when it comes to business relations for
providing the aiding benefits. These benefits are adopted by companies and businesses, especially the
banking sector to explore its ways of preventing fraud and gaining security.
Adoption of blockchain technology:
⢠Blockchain technology has yet not been leveraged by the whole market, but those who use it have claimed
the businesses to be a success after its adoption.
⢠Blockchain takes the work further ahead of the previous and old formulas, driving the data and work
forward with vigour.

5. Learn how Blockchain benefits businesses and
transactions in the banking industry:
⢠Blockchain acts as a game-changer for the banking industry, it not only prevents the frauds
from happening by providing its high level of security, but it also allows them to perform and
approve transactions in a matter of seconds.
⢠Blockchain provides cutting cost majorly and boosting the efficiency of the banking sector. The
smooth transaction is the added bonus provided by blockchain to the banking industry.
⢠If each bank in the network had the copy of the ledger and a common protocol and consensus
mechanism, it can benefit all the plus properties of the blockchain.
⢠In short, Blockchain in banking sector offers lower costs, security, privacy, and speed.
Blockchain provides profitability to the banking industry.

6. Ways in Which Blockchain prevents frauds in the Banking Indstry
Immutable
â˘The data or transaction once registered on the blockchain can not
be edited or changed in any way possible. The consensus is a term
that provides the allowance and permits the validity of the data to
be true and of required nature before the data is even listed on the
blockchain to send forward. All the participants or respondents
provide their consent before a data is set and transferred in the
blockchain.
â˘After the approval of the data, the block is provided with a
timestamp before which is linked or connected to the previous block
in the blockchain.
â˘This process makes the blockchain data of consent and an asset
from the very beginning. It can procure the data in terms of origin
making it of protective nature which can not be undone however
strong the fraudulent is of skills.
Email Us : info@hbgknowledge.com
7. Distributed Networks
⢠The blockchain includes a distributed digital ledger containing the
data shared between systems and given consent on a regular
basis. The central authority in this is missing and the data is sent
forward with the consent ot everyone present in the members.
⢠The management and authorization of the data that is forwarded
is transparent leaving not even a single place for fraud. It is under
the authority of the members to process, check, and verify from
start to end.
⢠This is not just the case of the current data being transferred or
forwarded, but the data present in history also falls on the hands
of the members. So, the changes to be done on the data needs to
have access to the data and the access to the majority of the
