Classification of blockchain security technology
From the current mainstream blockchain projects, blockchain projects are mainly divided into four categories: the first category: currency; The second is platform; The third category: application category; The fourth type: asset token
currencies mainly act as the "exchange media" in the field of blockchain assets, and the exchange media refer to general equivalents, such as gold and silver bills in the past< (currency exchange on trading blockchain assets)
platform projects refer to the establishment of technical platforms to meet the needs of various blockchain application development, which can rece the threshold of application development on blockchain
application projects cover a wide range of fields, including finance, social networking, games, property rights protection, etc., and are also the fastest growing fields of blockchain assets
asset token project refers to the blockchain mapping of physical assets, that is, the physical assets on the chain. At present, there are no more than 10 varieties
01 currency
the first category is currency project, which is also the earliest blockchain project. Currency projects mainly include bitcoin and lightcoin. In addition, there is another kind of asset with the characteristics of anonymity. Its main functions include protecting the privacy of both sides of payment while realizing payment. The well-known ones are dash, monero and zcash. Currency is mainly used as the "exchange medium" in the field of blockchain assets. The exchange medium is the general equivalent you use to exchange goods. For example, gold, silver and silver bills can be used as the exchange medium in the past. At present, there are more than 2100 types of digital assets in the world, and the number of currency blockchain projects has increased rapidly recently. As of June 2018, bitcoin is still the largest market value
02 platform type
the second type is platform type blockchain project. The main function of platform type blockchain project is to establish a technical platform to meet the technical requirements of various blockchain application development; In short, platform applications allow developers to directly issue digital assets and write smart contracts on the blockchain. Smart contract is a computer program running on the blockchain database, which can be automatically executed under the conditions of its source code setting
for example, you develop a smart contract based on the house rent protocol on the blockchain. When the owner receives the rent, it will trigger the automatic execution and give the security key of the apartment to the tenant
the main function of platform blockchain projects is to establish the underlying technology platform, so that developers can do application development on the underlying technology platform. A considerable number of platforms are still in the development state. As of June 2018, Ethereum has the largest market value
03 application
the third category is application blockchain projects. Application projects are blockchain projects based on blockchain development platform (such as Ethereum), which can solve many problems in various fields of the real economy
for example, augur, Golem, vechain, omisego, which provides asset exchange and transfer services. Using blockchain technology, these projects can better solve the problems of trust and cross-border circulation. At the same time, using smart contracts and tokens on the blockchain, they can better realize automatic execution and greatly improve the efficiency of social and economic activities. Application blockchain projects cover a wide range of fields, including finance, social networking, games, property rights protection and so on. It is also the field with the fastest market value increment of blockchain projects at present
04 asset token
the fourth category is the asset token blockchain project. Asset token refers to linking the blockchain assets to physical assets such as gold and US dollars, which is the blockchain mapping of physical assets. As of February 2018, there are no more than 10 varieties. The typical representatives are usdt against US dollars, digix Dao against gold, Digix each token represents 1 gram of Gold Certified by the London Bullion Market Association. Asset token has the advantages of convenient transaction and safekeeping. First of all, asset token is more convenient for transaction. Because blockchain assets can be split, it has better liquidity
for example, at present, real estate needs to be transferred as a whole. If the real estate can be token, it can be split and purchased, which is more convenient for transaction. Secondly, the token of physical assets is more concive to custody. Gold is easy to wear out and cause losses in physical transactions, but there is no need for physical transfer after the token of physical assets, which is more concive to the custody of physical assets
1 - public blockchain; It means that anyone can read and send transactions for validity confirmation, and anyone can participate in the consensus process of the blockchain to jointly maintain the security, transparency and non tampering of the public blockchain data. For example,
2-community blockchain represented by bitcoin; It is also called alliance chain, which means that the nodes participating in the blockchain are selected in advance, and there are usually good network connections and other cooperative relationships between the nodes; Community blockchain is a practical application scenario of the combination of blockchain and physical goods, such as Domenech jewelry's Maobei mode
3-private blockchain: the participating nodes only have a limited range, the data access and use have strict permission management, the write permission is only in the hands of the participants, and the read permission can be opened to the outside world.
1. Lianzhuang data block structure based on blocks
2. Network wide shared ledger
3. Asymmetric encryption
4. Source code open source
blockchain 2.0 era technical basis:
1. Smart contract; It is an application in the blockchain system. It is a business logic that can run automatically by coding. It usually has its own token and special development language
2. DAPP: it includes the user's applications, including but not limited to various cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum wallet
3. Virtual machine: used to execute the compiled code of smart contract. Virtual machine is Turing complete
with the application and deepening of blockchain technology, the era of blockchain 3.0 has come. The mode of blockchain cooperation can be seen from behind the operation of all walks of life. Therefore, blockchain will change the way of human life widely and profoundly, so the whole life service will enter the era of blockchain. In the process of Internet development, blockchain + physical instry, blockchain e-commerce and blockchain community operation can be applied to blockchain technology
of course, 3.0 came into being with the development of modern cryptography. Today's applied cryptography is the result of cryptography 20 years ago. Therefore, in order to apply blockchain technology to more participation scenarios, especially in Internet economy and other aspects, more verification is needed to verify whether the existing encryption technology can meet the demand, and more in-depth integration of cryptographic frontier technology and continuous innovation are needed.
according to the access mechanism, blockchain can be divided into three categories: public chain, private chain and alliance chain. Other types of blockchains may be born in the future
the public chain is open and transparent. Any indivial or group in the world can send transactions on the public chain, and the transactions can be effectively confirmed by the blockchain. Everyone can compete for bookkeeping rights. Bitcoin blockchain is a typical representative of public chain
the alliance chain is semi open. It is a blockchain used within a group or organization. Several nodes need to be designated as bookkeepers in advance. The generation of each block is decided by all preselected bookkeepers. Other nodes can trade, but they have no bookkeeping rights
the private chain is completely closed. Only the blockchain technology is used for bookkeeping, and the bookkeeping right is not open, and only internal transactions are recorded, which are exclusively enjoyed by companies or indivials.
the resolution calls on the idea of bitcoin, but does not directly mention its name. Instead, it calls it "alternative illegal currency". Blockchain technology is the key point, which points out that this technology has the potential to "fundamentally change" the way trust and security are built on online transactions
but in fact, the United States has not taken action to formulate this rule. However, there is a global blockchain alliance R3 in the process of formulating the standard for the use of blockchain. Of course, blockchain is just a technology that can be used by any enterprise. In China, there is a project called decent, which is more avant-garde. It uses blockchain technology to build a decentralized content publishing platform, but it may encounter some problems in China.
