Permissionless society meetup Sept 21, 2017 Amsterdam. Introduction into the overlap in blockchain - and identity management technology: where they meet in symbiosis.
Blockchain intro: The end of the middlemanAndries De Vos
Wide-ranging introduction into blockchain presented for an enterprise client.
Structured in 2 parts:
- what is blockchain and key concepts: distributed ledgers, consensus mechanisms, permissioned/permissionless, crypto-tokens/assets, smart contracts and DAO
- blockchain in practice: do you need blockchain, is it enterprise-ready, case studies
Created May 2017.
Blockchain isn't a household buzzword, like the cloud, the web, the internet of things or bitcoin. It's not an innovation that you’re able to see and touch as easily as a smartphone or a NEST thermostat. But in a world where anyone (and anything) can establish a digital persona or publish content online the blockchain may be the answer to a question we've been asking since the invention of the internet: how do we establish trust amongst stakeholders on digital platforms?
This keynote presentation provide a quick, nontechnical introduction to the blockchain. We’ll then take a quick tour through the blockchain technology landscape, understand what a computational blockchain is and discuss the notion of smart contracts and digital tokens.
We’ll wrap up with a focus on blockchain uses cases and initiatives in education.
Blockchain-Anchored Identity -- Daniel Buchner, Microsoftbernardgolden
In this presentation, Daniel Buchner discusses the need and challenge of identity in the digital society. Particular interest is paid to technical challenges and supporting blockchain technologies

Blockchain: it's much more than BitcoinKuba Tymula
In this brief presentation (originally from an event that Harris Partners has run with Bank of America Merril Lynch in March 2016) we cover the basics of blockchain and bitcoin, incl. consensus in a blockchain, public key cryptography, public vs. private blockchains, permissionless vs. permissioned blockchains, advantages of blockchain, and some current case studies
A primer on Blockchain, Semantic Web and Ricardian Contracts.
Semantic Blockchain is a proposal where the Semantic Web meets the Blockchain. Combining these two technologies could provide the Semantic web with a transparent proof of work and trust mechanism while conversely disambiguating data stored on the blockchain, solving one of the key challenges with Riccardian/Smart contracts. This presentation will explore how these two technologies might be combine using the example of a smart contract. However the potential application is much bigger and could provide a key back bone underlying the Internet of Things.
Blockchain, Self-Sovereign Identity and CredentialsStrategyWorks
A primer on how the blockchain may be repurposed within higher education contexts. Based on research and praxis. Link to the webinar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ubwTmtlkWc&t=316s
Blockchain became a popular technology trend because of cryptocurrencies. But, this technology has its applications beyond the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
This talk will focus on the role of blockchain in the new digital economy and the characteristics of a sustainable blockchain company. Professor Lee will talk about the 4Ds and LASIC, Hinternet and the type of deep business skill and strategy that are needed to excel in the blockchain industry. Those who are looking into fundraising by ICO/ITS’s and investing in Blockchain technology will find this talk interesting.
Bitcoin is the very first cryptocurrency and blockchain technology introduced to the world. Satoshi Nakamoto is behind the creation of Bitcoin technology. It’s currently one of the popular cryptocurrencies on the market.
Bitcoin uses blockchain technology to function and offer all of its features to the users. The working principle of Bitcoin depends heavily on the mining process. Bitcoin uses miners to process all of the transactions happening on the blockchain and give rewards based on that. The platform uses a consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Work to help miners verify and execute all the transactions.
Here, you will understand what this Bitcoin technology really offers, its basic characteristics, working principles, and advantages. We at 101 Blockchains are offering better resources to help you fully comprehend the topic.

A short 101 on blockchain and cryptocurrencies - What is blockchain? How to get started investing in crypto? Tactical tips for keeping your investment secure. Presentation for Blockchain & Cryptocurrency Meetup at WeWork San Francisco, Oct 23 2017.
Beyond the buzzword, why everyone wants a blockchain? If you are one of those few people who don't know nothing about blockchain yet, try to say blockchain three times in a row and see whats happen...
In recent times, there’s been a lot of mass traction and crazy talk that is going about the digital currency community. Many of the leading Organizations are experimenting with Blockchain Technology.
Introduction to blockchain is a presentation to demystify distributed ledger technology. Show and explain how the technology behind Bitcoin works and what are the pros and cons of it (at the time of creating this presentation June 2018)
Pros and Cons of Blockchain Technology: Your Complete Go-to GuidePixel Crayons
The benefits of Blockchain are many, but do you know what makes it the need of the hour? Multiple participants manage its decentralized database known as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).
Yes, Blockchain is a disruptive technology compared to traditional database systems. Besides, not a single entity controls it; there is no chance of exploitation or suppression from any one party. As a business owner, I know you might be thinking of adopting Blockchain; however, you are still unsure about it.
To take you out of this dilemma, I am here to discuss some most prominent pros and cons of Blockchain. So, get ready to dive deep and discover some amazing Blockchain pros along with some blockchain cons.
Since the technology is not so old and needs expertise, always hire a trusted Blockchain development company.
Blockchain technology is a revolutionary way of storing and transferring data. While it has its share of cons, it is possible to rectify most of them with the right planning and execution. The current state of blockchain technology makes it the best suit for businesses that want to take advantage of its distributed ledger features. However, the technology is not simple as it seems to be. Hence, I would once again recommend you to hire Blockchain developers with experience and the right skills in Blockchain development services. Otherwise, your business may suffer.

Blockchain Introduction - Canada Nov 2017.pptxAntony Welfare
Back in 2017 I joined the world of #Blockchain and presented my first ever Blockchain presentation on 14th November 2017 at a Tech meetup in Penticton, BC (Canada)
A few key highlights:
* The fundamentals of Blockchain technology have not changed (Trust, Transparency, Security, Quality/Certainty, Reduced costs)
* We were talking about Web 3.0 back in 2017 😉
* People still miss define Blockchain
* Janet Yellen and Christine Lagarde were commenting on Blockchain back in 2017
* Checkout the Dapps section – I was ahead of my time there!
* And the last three slides on the Market cap and increases – I was excited to tell people the market cap was $200bn, BTC was $8,000 and ETH was nearly $400 ……… Ahhh the good old days 😉
And finally – my “leaders comment” back in 2017 still stands “Blockchain is the next disruptive technology to transform the lives of our customers and our business operations”
What a journey so far…and guess what…its only just begun 👍👍👍
Blockchain fundamentals based on bas w_v1.1.pptxHenk van Cann
The knowledge of Blockchain Fundamentals empowers you to decide for yourself what is a pointless blockchain application and what not. What is a safe crypto currency and what not. How to handle keys; the do's and don'ts. You need to thoroughly understand the innovative technology you use. Blockchain is currently in its infancy and is rough gemstone to many people; ready to be polished.
The field of Law and Blockchain is broad. You can't grasp it all. Besides identity issues there is legal issues with blockchain and cryptocurrency application that have impact. And per country there may be differences in how governments approach them. Pick a few topics and be a specialist in a heavily narrowed down topic.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).

risk accidentally building systems that deny self-expression, place individuals in harm’s way, and unintentionally oppress those most in need of self-
determination.
There are times when the needs of security outweigh the need for human dignity. Fine. It’s the job of our politicalsystems—local, national, and
international—to minimize abuse and to establish boundaries and practices that respect basic human rights.
But when engineers unwittingly compromise the ability of individuals to self-express their identity, when we expose personal information in unexpected
ways, when our systems deny basic services because of a flawed understanding of identity, these are avoidable tragedies. What might seem a minor
technicality in one conversation could lead to the loss of privacy, liberty, or even life for an individual whose identity is unintentionally compromised.
That’s why it pays to understand identity, so the systems we build intentionally enable human dignity instead of accidentally destroy it.

Phase One: Centralized Identity (administrative control by a single authority or hierarchy)
Phase Two: Federated Identity (administrative control by multiple, federated authorities)
Phase Three: User-Centric Identity (individual or administrative control across multiple authorities without requiring a federation)
Phase Four: Self-Sovereign Identity (individual control across any number of authorities)

“Identity is how we keep track of people and things and, in turn,
how they keep track of us.”
’ Self-sovereign identity is centered on a person, free from
dependence on any corporation, organization, or nation-state.’
"Identity is how we keep track of people and things and, in turn, how they keep track of us.”
Joe Andrieu's Primer on Functional Identity offers a descriptive definition of identity. Quite simply, Andrieu says, "Identity is how we keep track of people and things and, in turn, how they keep track of us."
It's an astute description that cuts through the confusion of what an identity database should or shouldn't encompass by instead suggesting that models need only include what's required for persistent identification.
However, the content design of an identity system is only half the battle. There are also questions of jurisdiction, management, and oversight. In other words, once you have an identity system, who runs it, and who are they beholden to? That's where self-sovereign identity enters the picture, as an
orthogonal way to look at the question of identity systems.
A Self-Sovereign Definition
Self-sovereign identity is centered on a person, free from dependence on any corporation, organization, or nation-state.
This core definition of self-sovereign identity is a simple one, affirming that identity belongs to an individual person and cannot be taken from them.

‘within 10 minutes, every blockchain discussion boils down to e-
Identity issues’.
“The only relevant application of blockchain for identity is virtual identities in combination with some sort of distributed application; do not use the word ‘smart contract’, because in fact they are not smart at all. ‘Contract’ is a stupid word for a distributed application,” Birch stresses.
