Blockchain Primer - Founder Collective - December 2017Parul Singh
As 2017 comes to a close, blockchain is everywhere (or more accurately perhaps “bitcoin, bitcoin, bitcoin.”) here is a primer on blockchain that I prepared for my team at Founder Collective to help frame some of the exciting use cases we see coming down the pike. Further reading is on the last slide.
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 field.
Project Bletchley is a vision for Microsoft to deliver Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) that is open and flexible for all platforms, partners and customers. In this session, we will start by giving you an intro into Blockchain technology, what it is, how and where it can be used and talk about various examples and real world scenarios that can be built with it.

Governance in the Blockchain Economy: A Framework and Research Agenda. Roman...eraser Juan José Calderón
ABSTRACT
Blockchain technology is often referred to as a groundbreaking innovation and the harbinger of a new economic era. Blockchains may be capable of engendering a new type of economic system: the blockchain economy. In the blockchain economy, agreed-upon transactions would be enforced autonomously, following rules defined by smart contracts. The blockchain economy would manifest itself in a new form of organizational design—decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO)—which are organizations with governance rules specified in the blockchain. We discuss the blockchain economy along dimensions defined in the IT governance literature: decision rights, accountability, and incentives. Our case study of a DAO illustrates that governance in the blockchain economy may depart radically from established notions of governance. Using the three governance dimensions, we propose a novel IT governance framework and a research agenda for governance in the blockchain economy. We challenge common assumptions in the blockchain discourse, and propose promising information systems research related to these assumptions.

Using Blockchain as a Platform for Smart Cities
Christian Nãsulea, Stelian-Mihai Mic University of Bucharest, Romania.
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Incorporating new technologies into the development of smart cities means rethinking the way
different services are provided. From this perspective, Blockchain might represent the future of both smart cities and smart
communities as it offers new alteratives for individuals and institutions.
Prior Work: Blockchain was mainly perceived through its linkage with bitcoin, but recent developments have started
exploring the idea of using it for financial transactions, logistics and securing contracts. Tapscott & Tapscott (2016)have
acknowledged the potential the Blockchain Revolution had on redefining the idea of trust in both digital and local communities.
Blockchain technology has the ability to enhance transparency of local and regional institutions while also making it easier
to communicate sensitive data without compromising security and privacy.
Approach: We look at the different fields blockchain can have an impact on and we try to assess the viability of moving
towards an integrated platform for intermediating day-to-day activities between both institutions and individuals. We will
assess the advantages of digitizing and securing public and private data while also considering the potential risks this
process might involve.
Results: We aim to create a model of how blockchain might work in communities and assess its impact on the overall
economic and human development indicators.
Implications: Public administrators in many countries are starting to acknowledge blockchain’s potential in solving problems
for local communities our results will be a valuable starting point for developing local initiatives for using blockchain as a
platform for communications and transactions. Furthermore, a smart city must be a city where individuals can interact and
solve their issues quickly, using digital technologies for increased efficiency.
Value: Blockchain is thought to be the future of managing both public and private affairs. Countries such as Dubai, Singapore
and China are incorporating blockchain technology into developing smart cities. Blockchain makes us rethink many of the
different aspects of how communities can be organized, offering new alternatives and promising a more transparent and
efficient economic model.

Expanding Beyond Cryptocurrency in the Digital World using Blockchain TechnologyYogeshIJTSRD
A blockchain is principally a distributed database of records or public ledger of all transactions or digital events that are executed and shared among the participating parties. Once entered, information can never be erased. The blockchain encompasses a precise and supportable record of each solo transaction ever made in the history of all the transactions. Bitcoin, the decentralized digital currency, is that the most well liked example that uses blockchain technology. The digital currency bitcoin itself is extremely controversial but the underlying blockchain technology has worked flawlessly and located a good range of applications in both the financial and nonfinancial world.

From Bitcoin to Blockchain: Industry Review April 2017 from OLMA NEXT LtdOLMA Capital Management
When the Bitcoin cryptocurrency was released in 2009, its underpinning, the blockchain distributed ledger system was the real technological breakthrough, a formulation that promises to change the basis of all types of transactions globally.
Blockchain technology has paved the way for an Internet of Transactions. Blockchain technology has already proved its worth in such areas as means of payment, interbank exchanges and international remittances. Touted as the next digital revolution, blockchain technology has the potential to transform traditional industries and alter society through disintermediation of trade. Any situation that involves an intermediary that is expensive or fallible represents an opportunity to create a blockchain application case. No industry is immune to the blockchain’s disruption potential.
In 2017, the blockchain technology is at an inflection point. The industry is in a state of transition and must move to Blockchain 2.0, which means the adoption of more sophisticated applications, such as micro-payments and smart contracts. Having outgrown its original bitcoin community, the majority of blockchain applications have yet to pass beyond the prototype stage to make blockchain technology the greatest restructuring technology of the next decade.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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.

Have you wondered why blockchain is so hot right now — across
countries and industries, founders and investors, governments,
corporates, and startups?
It is the popularity and transparency of crypto transactions that have
led developers and design thinkers to explore the wide applicability of
the underlying technology — blockchain.
The technology is capable of disrupting a number of
governance-related systems — think the blockchain-based voting
system, Aadhaar ID maintenance, land registration system, health
records system, and more.
India has witnessed some mega blockchain initiatives — IndiaChain,
BankChain, Blockchain District and more. However, even as some
blockchain startups have successfully closed fundings, India may face
a dearth of professionals skilled in the technology.
To crystallise the development blocks of blockchain in India, the
government needs to formulate a blockchain-related bill draft that also
brings clarity on cryptocurrencies and ICOs. Corporates are already
stepping in to invest in R&D while exploring tie-ups with innovative
startups in the space.
Collaborations and cross-sectoral experimentation, supported by a
strong regulation, is the way forward if India wants to start harnessing
even an iota of the massive potential of blockchain technology.

Blockchain is the technology of the moment in India — in fact, it
has been so for a while now. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies
continue to draw the attention of major organisations and the
government in 2018, as was the case in 2017. This despite the
current confusion and hype around the technology and a large
number of stories surfacing in the media on cryptocurrency and
ICO frauds, scams, and theft.

cryptocurrencies for readers with limited or no knowledge of the
technology.
The report provides an introduction to blockchain technology, the
components of a blockchain system architecture, the need for
consensus models, elements of the systems, smart contracts,
It also elucidates current ongoing applications and the landscape
of blockchain adaptation in India, exploring the various initiatives
taken by the government to incorporate the technology to bring
more visibility into governance. The report further dives into

Lisk is the brainchild of Max Kordek and Oliver Beddows, who, after
several years in the blockchain industry, saw a shortage of developer
adoption. With a vision to increase adoption of the technology, they set
out to make it accessible. They looked at common teething problems and
development.
Since 2008, when Satoshi Nakamoto invented Bitcoin as a novel electronic
peer-to-peer cash system free of a trusted third party, interest in the
cryptocurrency and blockchain has spiralled. Recognising its potential as a

fundamental issue with ICOs is the fact that most of them raise money

“With all parties using the same ledger that directly captures all the metrics
of the transaction in digital form, there is no more need to translate legal
documents into metrics. Next to efficiency gains, the additional benefit of
blockchain is that every action creates a virtually immutable record which
ensures that the parties know exactly what is agreed, but also by who and
when the contract was approved and signed.”
Although the world is going ballistic about the adoption of blockchain across
industries and other areas, there are some formidable challenges ahead for

The principal challenge is lack of awareness about the technology, especially
in sectors other than banking, and an even deeper lack of understanding of
how it works, especially in India, where major aspects of businesses,
governance, and social life are yet to be digitised. As a result, people are
struggling to grasp the full potential of blockchain, which is hampering
investment and exploration of ideas in the domain.

Challenges & Looking

Working in a decentralised fashion, the sharing economy generates humongous
amounts of data as a result of the effort to keep a constant track of the assets, which
are seen passing through many hands on a daily basis. However, this is an onerous
and increasingly complicated task. Here is where blockchain can come in and help
address this imbalance.
Blockchain, in essence, facilitates the exchange of value in a secure and decentralised
manner, allowing individuals to coordinate common activities and interact directly with
each other, along with managing online transactions safely. Blockchain can, thereby,
prove valuable to sharing economy users by making it cheaper to create and operate
online platforms to enable shared services.
Since the blockchain is transparent and secure, its architecture can help accelerate
the adoption of yet another concept — the peer-to-peer sharing model. Ranging from
vehicles to apparel, consumers can rent expensive items rather than buying them
owing to the wider choice of renting options. This thought, if applied and used
effectively, is likely to increase utilisation of underused goods, and will reduce the
overall expenses borne by individuals in general.
The sharing economy is no more a concept, but quite a trend in India. The technology
has delivered positive results wherever it has been applied and with further
developments in blockchain, we can expect enhanced and consistent levels of
services in future.

The problem with many current approaches to the technology is that people
are developing their own blockchains and applications to run on top of them. In
each industry, chains are therefore being developed by different organisations
with varying standards. This defeats the very purpose of distributed ledgers
and fails to harness its network effect.
Organisation
Indian business infrastructure is traditional and centralised and companies
started to turn digital only a few years ago. The advent of an infrastructure
such as blockchain represents a paradigm shift from the traditional ways of
doing things as it places trust and authority in a decentralised network rather
than in a powerful central institution. For most Indian companies, this loss of
control can be deeply unsettling.
Blockchains are something of a productivity paradox. The speed and
effectiveness with which blockchain networks can execute peer-to-peer
transactions comes at a high aggregate cost, which is greater for some types
the same tasks as every other node on its own copy of the data in an attempt
validating and sharing transactions on the public ledger are estimated to be
greater than half a billion dollar a year and rising.
Bitcoin also has notable transaction costs even though it was touted as being
seven transactions per second, and each transaction costs about $0.20 and
can only store 80 bytes of data.
Culture
Cost and efficiency
The technology has the ability to cross jurisdictional boundaries as the nodes
on a blockchain can be located anywhere in the world. This can pose a
number of complex jurisdictional issues, which require careful consideration in
relation to the relevant contractual relationships.
The principles of contract and title differ across jurisdictions and, therefore,
identifying the appropriate governing law is essential. However, in a
rules to apply.
While cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin offer pseudonymity, many potential
applications of blockchain require smart transactions and contracts to be
indisputably linked to known identities. This raises important questions about
privacy and the security of the data stored and accessible on the
shared Ledger.
