    Book SynopsisThis book provides a foundation for the mathematics of blockchain. It is inspired by a general analysis and synthesis of the current knowledge of blockchain technology and starts by laying a foundation for the mathematics of blockchain. The aim is for research in the area of blockchain to lead their study from the construction highlighted in this book.First, the basis of a blockchain is set: block, transaction contents, block header, Merkle tree, nonce, Proof-of-Work. Connections with elliptic curves and cryptographic signatures are made.Second, the book ties this with a Graph and Matrix Theories approach and models the peer-to-peer relationship through the Bitcoin Network.Third, it is proposed further modelling, notably around halving, optimal storing, or diffusion of information, which are consequences of the mathematical foundation. The notion of Entropy of Privacy and the Particles model are introduced.Finally, the mathematical statements therein are proven and essential reminders can be found before each section, so the content can be accessible from a graduate level.Table of ContentsI.

    Book SynopsisThis textbook focuses on distributed ledger technology (DLT) and its potential impact on society at large. It aims to offer a detailed and self-contained introduction to the founding principles behind DLT accessible to a well-educated but not necessarily mathematically oriented audience. DLT allows solving many complicated problems arising in economics, banking, and finance, industry, trade, and other fields. However, to reap the ultimate benefits, one has to overcome some of its inherent limitations and use it judiciously. Not surprisingly, amid increasing applications of DLT, misconceptions are formed over its use. The book thoroughly dispels these misconceptions via an impartial assessment of the arguments rooted in scientific reasoning.Blockchain and Distributed Ledgers: Mathematics, Technology, and Economics offers a detailed and self-contained introduction to DLT, blockchains, and cryptocurrencies and seeks to equip the reader with an ability to participate in the crypto economy meaningfully.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisLanguage ability is a unique human trait, and it is indispensable throughout the human life cycle. Blockchain on the other hand, is an innovation that will transform production relationships, change collaboration models and distribution of benefits between people. Language and blockchain seem to have no intersection, yet they are bewilderingly similar in certain ways.When Language Meets Blockchain leads us into an exploratory journey to discover the possibilities of integrating blockchain technology with the language services industry. The author discusses how blockchain technology enables translators to realise their full potential and describes how the role of language can be elevated from a general tool to a driving force through a new concept called Cross-Linguistic Capability. This is a concept that will have very intriguing and beneficial implications for global economic activities.It is demonstrated that language is more than just a tool, it is also a resource and a form of capability. This presents opportunities for cross-linguistic and cross-cultural communications in the era of blockchain, to enable the convergence of linguistic capability with blockchain technology and artificial intelligence. The book's perspective on how the language services industry could adapt to times to embrace blockchain technology for industrial transformation, is both forwarding-looking and value enhancing.Table of ContentsLinguistic Capability — Catalyst for Human Civilisation; The Fusion of Language and Blockchain; Token Economy and Language Services; Preface; Introduction; To Know Macro from Micro — Innate Similarities Between Language and Blockchain; A Sudden Revelation — Everyone Lives within His Own Language Chain; A Perpetual Deadlock — The Language-Based Translation Services Industry Remains a Workshop-Style Existence; Unrecognised Gifts — In Need of a Suitable Model for Bilingual Talents to Actualise Their Potential; Wide Recognition — Blockchain Reveals the Value of Bilingual Talent; A Perfect Match — The Wonderful Union of Language and Blockchain; The Born Child — Cross-Linguistic Capability is Fundamental in the Blockchain Era; A Beautiful Evolution — A New World Free from Language Barriers; The Journey with Language — A Mutually Fulfilling Partnership; The Conclusion: Once in a Thousand Years; Epilogue;

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisBlockchain is an emerging technology platform for developing decentralized applications and data storage, over and beyond its role as the technology underlying the cryptocurrencies. The basic tenet of this platform is that it allows one to create a distributed and replicated ledger of events, transactions, and data generated through various IT processes with strong cryptographic guarantees of tamper resistance, immutability, and verifiability. Public blockchain platforms allow us to guarantee these properties with overwhelming probabilities even when untrusted users are participants of distributed applications with the ability to transact on the platform. Even though, blockchain technology has become popularly known because of its use in the implementation of cryptocurrencies such as BitCoin, Ethereum, etc.; the technology itself holds much more promise in various areas such as time stamping, logging of critical events in a system, recording of transactions, trustworthy e-governance, etc. It introduces theoretical and practical aspects of blockchain technology. The book includes an in-depth insight into the need for decentralization, smart contracts, consensus both permissioned and permissionless, and various blockchain development frameworks, tools, and platforms. It can be used as a learning resource for various examinations and certifications related to cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. This book explained the nuts and bolts of blockchain technology in lucid language to make students more familiar with the implementation perspective of this much-needed technology.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Blockchain Technology.- Blockchain Revolution from 1.0 to 5.0: Technological Perspective.- Decentralization and Architecture of Blockchain Technology.- Basics of Cryptographic Primitives for Blockchain Development.- Smart Contracts for Building Decentralized Applications.- Distributed Consensus for Permissionless Environment.- Mining Procedure in Distributed Consensus.- Distributed Consensus for Permissioned Environment.- Consensus Scalability in Blockchain Network.- Building Trust in Blockchain Network using Collective Signing.- Adoption of Blockchain in Enterprise Computing.- Blockchain for Supply Chain Management.- Blockchain for Government Services.- Impact of Blockchain on Academic Publishing.
