Blockchain for Information Security and Privacy

The book presents an integrated view of blockchain for systems security and privacy. It identifies issues of utilizing blockchain in applications including smart contracts, healthcare, and finance. It then explains security and privacy techniques including representative consensus algorithms, hash chained storage, and mixing protocols.

Distributed and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications are increasing daily, and cyberattacks are constantly adopting new mechanisms to threaten the security and privacy of users in these Internet of Things (IoT) environments. Blockchain, a decentralized cryptographic-based technology, is a promising element for IoT security in manufacturing, finance, healthcare, supply chain, identity management, e-governance, defence, education, banking, and trading. Blockchain has the potential to secure IoT through repetition, changeless capacity, and encryption.
