This open access book contributes to the creation of a cyber ecosystem supported by blockchain technology in which technology and people can coexist in harmony. Blockchains have shown that trusted records, or ledgers, of permanent data can be stored on the Internet in a decentralized manner. The decentralization of the recording process is expected to significantly economize the cost of transactions. Creating a ledger on data, a blockchain makes it possible to designate the owner of each piece of data, to trade data pieces, and to market them. This book examines the formation of markets for various types of data from the theory of market quality proposed and developed by M. Yano. Blockchains are expected to give data itself the status of a new production factor. Bringing ownership of data to the hands of data producers, blockchains can reduce the possibility of information leakage, enhance the sharing and use of IoT data, and prevent data monopoly and misuse. The industry will have a bright future as soon as better technology is developed and when a healthy infrastructure is created to support the blockchain market.

Blockchain technology is powering our future. As the technology behind cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and Facebook's Libra, open software platforms like Ethereum, and disruptive companies like Ripple, it’s too important to ignore. In this revelatory book, Don Tapscott, the bestselling author of Wikinomics, and his son, blockchain expert Alex Tapscott, bring us a brilliantly researched, highly readable, and essential book about the technology driving the future of the economy. Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolutionary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it’s best known as the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital currencies, it also has the potential to go far beyond currency, to record virtually everything of value to humankind, from birth and death certificates to insurance claims, land titles, and even votes. Blockchain is also essential to understand if you’re an artist who wants to make a living off your art, a consumer who wants to know where that hamburger meat really came from, an immigrant who’s tired of paying big fees to send money home to your loved ones, or an entrepreneur looking for a new platform to build a business. And those examples are barely the tip of the iceberg. As with major paradigm shifts that preceded it, blockchain technology will create winners and losers. This book shines a light on where it can lead us in the next decade and beyond.

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with the analysis of the technological implementation of blockchain in the field of food supply chain. Blockchain has long been more than just the technology behind the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. Rather, the technology is now considered the real innovation, which experts believe has the potential to change business models, governments, and even societies. Above all, it is increasingly coming to the public's attention because of its many possible applications. Basically, the blockchain is a public register that enables users to collaborate in a trustworthy and transparent manner. The blockchain system connects all participants in a peer-to-peer network, so no intermediaries are required. In addition to the financial sector, supply chain management is also mentioned in various publications as an important application area for the technology. The food supply chain in particular is increasingly coming into focus due to the increasing complexity and internationalisation of supply chains, as well as the demand for transparency on the part of customers against the backdrop of sustainability. The goals of blockchain technology in the food supply chain include optimising the international exchange of goods and its documentation, minimising the need for middlemen, traceability, and real-time localisation of products. Retail giants, such as Walmart and Carrefour, recognised the potential of the technology early on and rely on IBM Food Trust to map their own product portfolio as transparently as possible.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2021 in the subject Computer Science - IT-Security, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: Blockchain is an emerging technology, leveraged with features of decentralization, tamper-proof records storage model based on a Peer-to-Peer architecture. It has been mostly applied in financial applications, and extended to various applications, viz., healthcare, supply-chain, and identity management. However, privacy, security, and scalability are the key challenges in blockchain-based applications that immensely limit the extensive adoption of these extended applications. The work in this thesis addresses the aforementioned challenges, while preserving better privacy, security, and scalability in blockchain-based applications. We propose access control techniques to facilitate better privacy, security in the blockchain network and improve scalability off-chain storage model. First, we propose an access control technique to preserve privacy across the blockchain network such that authorized peers can access the resources. Initially, the access control technique is designed for resource privacy. Further, we extend the policy to preserve privacy in blockchain network by categorizing both peers and resources. In this thesis, we also address another important problem, i.e., scalability in blockchain network while storing large size of data in secure off-chain storage. We use a secure distributed off-chain storage model to address the problem of scalability, based on the structure of the blockchain network. Lastly, we propose two-level of privacy preservation approach in blockchain network, while maintaining the scalability in the network. The proposed approach uses BlockCloud-BlockFog structure for deployment and IPFS-based off-chain storage model for large size data storage. All the proposed frameworks are evaluated using real-world data sets.

Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, Cologne Business School Köln, language: English, abstract: This research has been gathered together with the collaboration of Control Expert Company, a German company dedicated to providing services to the core business of the automotive insurance industry. This research is mainly focused on the different applications that Blockchain technology offers the automotive insurance industry. Based on these applications, a process model is developed from the perspective of the service provider sector of the automotive insurance. Having the main focus in mind, this research will answer the following question: How does Blockchain technology benefit the Automotive Insurance Process? The structure of this research will lead the reader through the evolution of the Blockchain technology and its features. First, a full definition of the technology will be explained. This will be followed by the generations of Blockchain and its classification. After that some history on regards Blockchain and the digital era will be mentioned. Such as the main innovations of the digital era, the creators of the technologies involved in Blockchain, and the main innovations within Blockchain. As the Internet of Things has become more and more popular during the last years, it is not possible to ignore the huge impact that it is having on people's daily lives. IoT represents a network of devices such as sensors, vehicles, computers and more, which interact among themselves and exchange information. Here comes a very interesting subcategory of the IoT – The Internet of People. The Internet of People describes the exchange of data through different devices but related to the people, or, in other words, the information gathered comes strictly from people. From this idea, the Internet of Money rises describing mainly how Blockchain and Bitcoin are changing the financial system. This is based on the idea of recording transactions in a safer way within a more decentralized system. Due to the strong disruption of Blockchain within different industries and the usability of the technology, it has been considered as an extra layer working over the internet. This is a new tier that enables transactions on a different level; permitting storage and record of data in a different way than a conventional database.

The definitive pioneering blueprint covering the what, why and how of the blockchain. Blockchains are new technology layers that rewire the Internet and threaten to side-step older legacy constructs and centrally served businesses. At its core, a blockchain injects trust into the network, cutting off some intermediaries from serving that function and creatively disrupting how they operate. Metaphorically, blockchains are the ultimate non-stop computers. Once launched, they never go down, and offer an incredible amount of resiliency, making them dependable and attractive for running a new generation of decentralized services and software applications. The Business Blockchain charts new territory in advancing our understanding of the blockchain by unpacking its elements like no other before. William Mougayar anticipates a future that consists of thousands, if not millions of blockchains that will enable not only frictionless value exchange, but also a new flow of value, redefining roles, relationships, power and governance. In this book, Mougayar makes two other strategic assertions. First, the blockchain has polymorphic characteristics; its application will result in a multiplicity of effects. Second, we shouldn’t ask ourselves what problems the blockchain solves, because that gives us a narrow view on its potential. Rather, we should imagine new opportunities, and tackle even more ambitious problems that cross organizational, regulatory and mental boundaries. Drawing on 34 years of technology industry experience as an executive, analyst, consultant, entrepreneur, startup mentor, author, blogger, educator, thought leader and investor, William Mougayar describes a future that is influenced by fundamental shifts brought by blockchain technology as the catalyst for change. William Mougayar has been described as the most sophisticated blockchain business thinker. He is a blockchain industry insider whose work has already shaped and influenced the understanding of blockchain for people around the world, via his generous blogging and rigorous research insights. He is a direct participant in the crypto-technology market, working alongside startups, entrepreneurs, pioneers, leaders, innovators, creators, enterprise executives and practitioners; in addition to being an investor, advisor, and board member in some of the leading organizations in this space, such as the Ethereum Foundation, OpenBazaar and Coin Center. Just as the Internet created new possibilities that we didn’t foresee in its early years, the blockchain will give rise to new business models and ideas that may still be invisible. Following an engaging Foreword by Vitalik Buterin, this book is organized along these 7 chapters: 1. What is the Blockchain? 2. How Blockchain Trust Infiltrates 3. Obstacles, Challenges & Mental Blocks 4. Blockchain in Financial Services 5. Lighthouse Industries & New Intermediaries 6. Implementing Blockchain Technology 7. Decentralization as the Way Forward The Business Blockchain is an invitation for technologists to better understand the business potential of the blockchain, and for business minded people to grasp the many facets of blockchain technology. This book teaches you how to think about the blockchain.

The only book you need to understand blockchain: what it is, how it works and how it will transform business, society and our everyday lives. Basic Blockchain is an accessible, non-technical introduction to a revolutionary technology. 'Makes it easy for the average business executive to understand blockchain' -- Chris Larsen, founder and chairman, Ripple 'An essential tool for those looking to distinguish information from noise' -- Eva Kaili, MEP and Chair of The Committee for the Future of Science and Technology A revolution is under way across the globe, yet very few people understand it. Basic Blockchain will explain everything you need to know to understand the technology that will soon disrupt and revolutionise everything from financial and health services to the property market and how we vote. Born of an obscure body of research on game theory developed by NASA, originally championed by drug dealers seeking to launder ill-gotten gains, accelerated by entrepreneurs seeking to improve financial access for the poor, funded by giant corporate interests attracted to the potential for billions of dollars of cost savings, blockchain heralds a new era of financial inclusion, legal inclusion for the dispossessed and lower prices for consumers. In short, it will enact radical change on our lives. In this book, David L. Shrier, one of MIT and Oxford University's leading futurists, explains for the general reader: - The history of blockchain, its apocryphal progenitor Satoshi Nakamoto and the socioeconomic context of its origins in the 2008 financial crisis. - How blockchain works, including the core technologies that drive it such as cryptographic hashes and network theory, all described in simple, understandable terms. - The potential of blockchain, including its impact on our jobs, industry and society as a whole. Blockchain will disrupt and transform our world in profound ways. This accessible book, written by a global authority on blockchain, is the essential introduction to the next technological revolution.
