5. Detailed analysis
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system
1. In a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chained data structure composed of data blocks connected in sequence according to the time sequence, and it can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography
2. Broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access It is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method to program and operate data by using intelligent contract composed of automated script code.
(1) distributed ledger, that is, transaction bookkeeping is completed by multiple nodes distributed in different places, and each node records complete accounts, so they can participate in monitoring the legitimacy of transactions, At the same time, they can testify together
different from traditional distributed storage, the uniqueness of distributed storage of blockchain is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is that each node of blockchain stores complete data according to block chain structure, while traditional distributed storage generally stores data in multiple copies according to certain rules. Second, the storage of each node in the blockchain is independent and has the same status, which relies on the consensus mechanism to ensure the consistency of storage, while the traditional distributed storage generally synchronizes data from the central node to other backup nodes[ 8]
no single node can record the account data separately, so as to avoid the possibility that a single bookkeeper is controlled or bribed to record false accounts. In theory, unless all the nodes are destroyed, the accounts will not be lost, so as to ensure the security of the account data
(2) asymmetric encryption and authorization technology, the transaction information stored on the blockchain is public, but the account identity information is highly encrypted, which can only be accessed under the authorization of the data owner, thus ensuring the data security and personal privacy
(3) consensus mechanism is how to reach a consensus among all accounting nodes to determine the validity of a record, which is not only a means of identification, but also a means of preventing tampering. Blockchain proposes four different consensus mechanisms, which are suitable for different application scenarios and achieve a balance between efficiency and security
the consensus mechanism of blockchain has the characteristics of "the minority is subordinate to the majority" and "everyone is equal", in which "the minority is subordinate to the majority" does not completely refer to the number of nodes, but also can be the computing power, the number of shares or other characteristics that can be compared by computers“ "Everyone is equal" means that when the nodes meet the conditions, all nodes have the right to put forward the consensus results first, and then directly recognized by other nodes, and finally may become the final consensus results. Taking bitcoin as an example, the workload proof is adopted. Only when more than 51% of the accounting nodes in the whole network are controlled can a nonexistent record be forged. When there are enough nodes in the blockchain, this is basically impossible, thus eliminating the possibility of fraud.
(4) smart contract, which is based on these trusted and tamperable data, can automatically execute some pre-defined rules and terms. Take insurance as an example. If everyone's information (including medical information and risk occurrence information) is true and reliable, it is easy to carry out automatic claim settlement in some standardized insurance procts
however, it's easy for people with an eye to see why there is no security layer? In fact, several key features of blockchain have already solved the security problem. First, the blockchain uses asymmetric encryption technology. In fact, encryption and decryption are different keys, namely public key and private key. In short, the public key is open to the public, while the private key is absolutely confidential
secondly, distributed bookkeeping is a way for blockchain to store data. It can also be understood as distributed storage, which is consistent with the concept of decentralization. In the form of ledger, there is no central ledger in the network, and the ledger is stored in each node. Each node is not only independent, but also can act as the central node. Therefore, the central node will not be attacked, leading to the loss of core books or data, and the whole network will not be paralyzed
moreover, tamper proof is the basic feature of blockchain. As long as the chain can not be modified, and can not be deleted. If it needs to be changed, based on the principle of transparency and openness, the whole network and all nodes need to be informed. Therefore, under the democratic mechanism, the possibility of tampering with data at will is very low. Therefore, blockchain technology is applied in various instries, such as finance, payment, traceability, games, etc., such as the network "universe", Tencent's "come together to catch the demon", and Zhongan Huanyu blockchain "Dr dragon hunt" are the safe and high-quality procts under the blockchain technology.
blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger database . The advantage of this distributed ledger is that buyers and sellers can trade directly without any intermediary. Everyone has a backup, even if you lose this, it will not be affected

extended data:
blockchain application field
1, financial field
blockchain has potential huge application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields. The application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can save the third-party intermediary link and realize the point-to-point direct docking, so as to greatly rece the cost and quickly complete the transaction payment
2. The Internet of things and logistics
blockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics. Through blockchain, we can rece logistics costs, trace the proction and delivery process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management. This field is considered as a promising application direction of blockchain
3. The data stored on the public welfare field
blockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision
4. In the field of insurance
in terms of insurance claims, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claims settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs. Through the application of smart contract, there is no need for the applicant to apply or the insurance company to approve. As long as the claim conditions are triggered, the automatic claim settlement of the policy can be realized
Let's suppose villagers Lao Wang and Xiao Li. Lao Wang borrowed some money from Xiao Li, who wrote it in an IOU signed by both parties. A few days later, Lao Wang denied the existence of borrowing money and claimed that Xiao Li forged the paper. Xiao Li can't argue because he finds it difficult to prove that Lao Wang actually owes him money
in this example, Lao Wang and Xiao Li are two nodes
now assuming the same scenario, there are many pairs of people trading with each other in the village. The only evidence for each pair is the IOU. If one party fails, it will be difficult to do so. Seeing this scene, the village head came up with a solution. He suggested using a common notebook for the whole village to record all the transactions. Due to the high prestige of the village head, the villagers unanimously decided to let the village head keep this important transaction book. Each transaction, the villagers go to the village head's home, let the village head witness and record, each transaction is written into a notebook, and then safely saved. That notebook can be called a database
because this notebook is very important, the village head locked it in the safe. However, there are always some problems. Sometimes, the village head will accidentally sprinkle ink on the paper, making some transaction records illegible. This is called a single point of failure. The thief knows that there is an important notebook in the safe of the village head's house. He tries his best to steal it. This is called hacking
until one day, the village head's son owed others a lot of money, so the village head secretly deleted his son's debt entry. In this way, the village head's son "does not owe money."
when the villagers knew this, they began to question the fairness and authority of the village head. So some people put forward a new idea:
abolish the power of the village head, which is called decentralization. Let all villagers keep a notebook, and the transaction records are copied and distributed, which is called distributed database. Therefore, if there are n people in the village, there are n notebooks, that is, n nodes. Every time there is a trade between any two people, all the people in the village get together and record it in their notebooks. And no one can cover the sky. This is called decentralization
they also decided that they would never delete the mentioned transactions from their notebooks, which is irreversible. For example, Lao Wang borrowed a sum of money from Xiao Li before, but in the twinkling of an eye, he wants to return the money. Then the transaction book will not delete the previous borrowing record, but write a new repayment record, so there are two records
next, let's try to break this rule. What if we bribe Lao Wang to change his notebook? It's not feasible, because the next time the villagers meet, they find that Lao Wang's notebook is different from everyone else's, so the villagers notice that Lao Wang may be engaged in an indescribable transaction, and decide to abolish Lao Wang's transaction record and kick Lao Wang out of the organization
What if you try to bribe all the villagers? It's too expensive
the characteristic of this model is that greedy people need to pay a lot to attack the rules. He will find it more profitable to follow the rules
a smart child in the village suggested that each transaction data be called "block" and linked into a "chain" in chronological order, which is called blockchain
