BLOCKCHAIN IS A GLOBAL MOVEMENT
The U.S. has usually been at the forefront of technological development. In the case of driving vision for
regulatory, taxation, cyber defense, and overall economic and social ecosystems (the U.S. is well behind).
• Dubai is aiming to become the blockchain capital of the world. 20 blockchain-based initiatives are planned for 2018, to improve government
services in road and transport, education, energy and healthcare.
• Switzerland provides the most attractive political and regulatory support for blockchain-based start-ups. Zug, a lakeside town in Switzerland, has come
to be known as the next Silicon Valley or “Crypto Valley”, and is attracting significant foreign investments in the blockchain space.
• United KingdomAs early as January 2016, the UK government had released plans to use blockchain to “reduce fraud, corruption, error and the cost
of paper-intensive processes.” The UK government’s BaaS (blockchain-as-a-service) is being used to track welfare paychecks and disburse student loan grants.
• Australia In Feb 2018 PayID went live, a country-wide banking system based on the New Payment Platform (NPP) and blockchain which allows mobile
numbers or email addresses to be also be used as a way to identify yourself, both to pay and be paid by others instantaneously and lower cost than traditional
bank transfers.
• Singapore The Monetary Authority of Singapore has announced plans to tokenize the country’s currency on the Ethereum Network. The government
has also allocating significant funds for blockchain R&D focused on integrating blockchain into government and financial services.
• Venezuela Launched a pre-sale of its commodity-backed "petro" cryptocurrency on February 20, 2018. The first ever cryptocurrency issued by a
country. According to the Venezuela government, the petro token will be backed by its oil, gas, gold and diamond reserves.
• Estonia which has an e-residency program that allows people from other countries to become digital citizens and register their business here, is now
working on a national cryptocurrency dubbed ESTcoin. There are talks of the first-ever government-backed ICO for the token sale of ESTcoin.

THE RISING INTEREST IN DISTRIBUTED TECHNOLOGIES
• Historically, the trend is one of continual
fluctuation between the centralization
and subsequent decentralization of
computing power, storage,
infrastructure, protocols, and code.
• Over time, Internet and cloud
computing architectures enabled
global access from a variety of
computing devices.
• Even though this 'cloud architecture’
is decentralized in terms of hardware,
it has given rise to application-level
centralization (e.g. Facebook, Twitter,
Google, etc).
• The current trend is transitioning from
centralized computing, storage, and
processing to decentralized
architectures and systems.
• Distributed Computing, Edge/Fog
Computing, and Distributed Ledger
Technology are all part of this trend,
with DLT going the farthest through
software-defined “smart contracts” to
delegate and govern explicit control of
digital assets to end-users and reduce
or remove the need to trust any
third-party servers and infrastructure.

FACTORS FOR EVALUATING DLT USE
• How many participants are in your system?
• What is the geographical distribution of the participants?
• What sort of performance requirements do you have?
• What are the rules, risks, and responsibilities of each party in your Blockchain system?
• Need for a shared common database
• The parties involved have conflicting
incentives, or do not have trust
among participants
• Multiple parties involved or writers
to a database
• Trusted third parties involved in the process
that facilitate interactions between multiple
parties who must trust the third party
• i.e. escrow services, data feed providers,
licensing authorities, or a notary public
• Cryptography is required. Cryptography
facilitates data confidentiality, data integrity,
authentication, and non-repudiation
• Data is dynamic and being entered into
many different databases along the lifecycle
of the process
• Data needs to be consistent across all
entities, and/or digitization of such a
process is desired
• External services not used to gather or
store data
• Uniform rules infrequently changing
that govern participants
• Decision making is transparent,
rather than confidential
• Requires an objective, immutable
history or log of facts for parties’
reference
• Transaction frequency not exceeding
10,000 transactions per second
Blockchain is best suited where one or more of the following conditions apply:

DISTRIBUTED LEDGER VERNACULAR
A DISTRIBUTED LEDGER is a type of data structure
which resides across multiple computer devices,
generally spread across locations or regions.
DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY (DLT) includes
blockchain technologies and smart contracts. While
distributed ledgers existed prior to Bitcoin, the Bitcoin
blockchain marks the convergence of a host of technologies,
including timestamping of transactions, Peer-to-Peer
(P2P) networks, cryptography, and shared computational
power, along with a new consensus algorithm. A DLT
generally consists of three basic components:
• A data model that captures the current state of the ledger
• A language of transactions that changes the ledger state
• A protocol used to build consensus among participants
around which transactions will be accepted, and in what
order, by the ledger.
BLOCKCHAIN (DATA MODEL)
A blockchain is a peer-to-peer
distributed ledger forged by consensus,
combined with a system for "smart
contracts" and other assistive
technologies. (hyperledger.org)
SMART CONTRACT (LANGUAGES) are
simply computer programs that execute
predefined actions when certain
conditions within the system are met.
CONSENSUS (PROTOCOL) refers to a
system of ensuring that parties agree
to a certain state of the system as
the true state.

THE CRYPTOECONOMICS OF
PERMISSIONLESS BLOCKCHAINS
• Cryptoeconomics explores the intersection of cryptography
and economic incentives.
• Cryptography is used for ensuring network security at various
levels and functions.
• Economic incentives are built-in to the participating nodes in the
network to ensure that, at any given point, the majority of players
in the network operate in a desirable way.
Permissionless blockchains are public and open for anyone to
join (including malicious actors). The key lies in incentivizing
good behavior in a critical majority of the network, such that:
• The malicious actors cannot take over the network through
an escalated attack.
• The malicious actors cannot collude to undertake
an organized majority attack on the network.
• The payoffs of securing the network are consistently
higher than the cost of attacking the network.
• The cost of attacking the network is prohibitively high.
"Cryptoeconomics is about building systems that have certain desired
properties using cryptography to prove properties about messages that
happened in the past while using economic incentives defined inside the
system to encourage desired properties to hold into the future.“

THE BLOCKCHAIN LEDGER
The Distributed Ledger is an authoritative book of transaction records
with unique properties
• Many copies are kept synchronized
• Multiple parties can create
individual records
• Software-defined cryptographic
consensus algorithms are used to
determine the validity and order
of written transaction records
• Each record is linked to the prior
one, ensuring that written records
cannot be modified or deleted without
alerting the readers of the book

technicacorp.com
HYPERLEDGER-FABRIC REFERENCE MODEL
• Permissioned system: strong identity management
• Distinct roles of users,
and validators
• Developers deploy new pieces
of code (chaincodes)
that End-Users invoke
through transactions
• Validators evaluate the
effect of a transaction and
reach consensus over the
new version of the ledger
• Ledger = total order of
transactions + hash (global state)
• Pluggable consensus protocol, currently PBFT & Sieve

TRUST ABOVE ALL ELSE: MEMBERSHIP
• End-Users prove identity and issue two types of credentials (Transaction/Anonymous
and Enrollment/Nominal certificates)
• Peers only issue Enrollment certificates
• Nominal credentials contain encryption and signing keys
• Auditors can audit certificates and ownership
The ultimate measure of Hyperledger projects
and all blockchain technology is whether the
architecture and implementation can be trusted
to validate and secure transactions.
With Hyperledger Fabric, the trust starts
with selecting and identifying users
(who can also be thought of as members
in a permissioned system).
In this case, users can prove their identity
and issue two types of credentials through
either transaction certificates or enrollment
certificates, with the latter issued only by
peers within this sort of permissioned system.
Nominal credentials contain encryption and
signing keys, and the designated auditors can
audit certificates and ownership.
The underlying trust in this system involves peer
institutions each wanting the same clean
system that disintermediates those pesky third
parties while maintaining the inviolability of
transactions and the system in general.

TRUST ABOVE ALL ELSE: CONFIDENTIALITY AND
AUDITABILITY
Auditing through proper key distribution at:
• System level, i.e., all system transactions
• User level, i.e., a user’s transactions
• Contract level, i.e., contracts messages
Government agencies and businesses
assign information classification levels
and confidentiality, due to
competitiveness, protection laws, and
regulation on confidentiality of
personal data dictate the need for
privacy of certain data elements.
Hyperledger achieves this through
data partitioning on the Blockchain.
These Hyperledger Private Channels
allow for data to go to only the
parties that need to know, based
on their security attributes.
Contract system auditors, for examplea
government agency a Chief Information
Security Officer (CISO) can monitor and
be alerted to potential Insider Threat
tampering.
Contracts can be
encrypted such that
decryption is possible
only by the validating
entities and potentially
authorized users.
