OriginStamp: Trusted Time Stamping via the Bitcoin Blockchain

•

1 like•319 views

The document discusses trusted timestamping via the Bitcoin blockchain. It introduces Originstamp, a service that uses the blockchain to prove a data record existed at a certain point in time and has not been manipulated since. A live demo is shown of hashing a document and recording it on the blockchain to establish an immutable timestamp. Potential applications discussed include journalism, research data, insurance, and digital libraries.

Blockchain vs. Bitcoin
“[Blockchain] is to Bitcoin, what the internet is to email. A big
electronic system, on top of which you can build applications.
Currency is just one.”
—Sally Davies, FT Technology Reporter

Blockchain Concept
The blockchain is a public distributed record (ledger) of all
transactions that occurred in a cryptocurrency network.

Blockchain in Industry 4.0 - How the Oil and Gas Industry is Utilizing these ...

Mike Bingle-Davis

The document discusses how the oil and gas industry is utilizing emerging blockchain and Industry 4.0 technologies. It first provides background on Industry 4.0 and the key technologies involved, with a focus on blockchain. It then discusses applications of blockchain across the oil and gas value chain in upstream, midstream, and downstream operations. Examples are given of current blockchain projects and case studies in oil trading, supply chain management, and reducing carbon emissions through bitcoin mining. The Wyoming Blockchain Stampede event is summarized as bringing together developers and startups to advance blockchain applications.

BEAM Marketing Profile

Kristen Colwell

BEAM is a cryptocurrency that implements Mimblewimble to provide confidential transactions. It was founded in July 2018 and launched its mainnet in January 2019. BEAM aims to offer confidentiality, compliance, and scalability. Its governance model involves establishing a non-profit foundation to govern the protocol. A marketing audit found that BEAM has good search engine visibility and authority, with its website scoring well for performance. However, its social media presence could be expanded.

The document summarizes the development of The Things Network (TTN) community in Berlin from its inception in 2016 to 2018. It describes how the community has grown from its first meeting in May 2017 to now include over 50 registered members and 55 registered gateways. Key milestones are noted, such as the installation of umbrella gateways on tall buildings and partnerships with local universities and companies. The challenges of building out the network and attracting users are discussed. Overall the community has succeeded in creating a functional LoRaWAN network covering Berlin through volunteer efforts.

Practical Applications of Blockchain Technology in the Certification Industry

Intact GmbH

This document discusses blockchain technology and its applications for certification. It provides an overview of blockchain, noting that it allows for distributed, encrypted data storage and transaction verification across a network. However, public blockchains have limitations around scalability, storage capacity, and costs that make them impractical for storing full certification documents. The document recommends instead storing a cryptographic hash of certification data on the blockchain and using a permissioned blockchain to address performance and cost issues.

Attacking and defending GraphQL applications: a hands-on approach

Davide Cioccia

DevSecCon Seatlle 2019 - Workshop The workshop is meant for developers, architects and security folks. During the workshop we will learn how to setup a GraphQL project, define a schema, create Query, Mutation and Subscription for a "fake" social network. We will learn what are the main security issues to consider when developing a GraphQL application: Introspection: information disclosure /graphql as a single point of failure (DoS attacks) IDOR Broken Access control Injections Once we get familiar with the issues, we will explain how to avoid it and/or fix it.

Martin Hamilton

Does it feel like the world has recently become much less certain and predictable? We tend to expect that each day will be like the last, more or less, but incremental change is increasingly feeling like a thing of the past. In this talk for the 2018 Scientia EMEA User Conference I look at how we can read the signals around us to better predict the future, and consider the impact of technologies and trends like blockchain, artificial intelligence and Brexit on further and higher education

Understanding Condition-Based Maintenance

OSIsoft, LLC

Industries around the world are undergoing a period of rapid transformation and rethinking the way that critical assets are operated. One way plant operators are maximizing the value of their equipment is through the adoption of condition-based maintenance (CBM), which promises to minimize unexpected failures, maximize use of resources, and institutionalize knowledge as key personnel retire. Continue to learn the real advantages of implementing CBM to track asset health in real-time and avoid unexpected equipment failures.

Graph Gurus Episode 13: Visualizing Bitcoin Blockchain with Tiger Graph

TigerGraph

This document summarizes episode 13 of the Graph Gurus podcast. It discusses visualizing the Bitcoin blockchain with TigerGraph. Key points include: - How to load the Bitcoin dataset into TigerGraph and demo exploring the Bitcoin blockchain graph in TigerGraph. - TigerGraph can scale to handle the large size of the blockchain better than other graph databases and support more complex queries as the network grows. - A new Kafka loader in TigerGraph 2.3 allows streaming Bitcoin transaction data from Kafka for future integration with a real-time data pipeline.
