Cybersecurity Implications in Blockchain Architecture - by Anahita Tasdighi (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Cybersecurity is a paramount concern in today's digital landscape, necessitating the protection of digital information, networks, and systems from unauthorized access, theft, damage, or disruption. As technological advancements persist, cybersecurity must continually evolve to mitigate emerging threats and technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and threat intelligence. The blockchain is a distributed ledger with growing lists of records (blocks) that are securely linked together via cryptographic hashes. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data, with each additional block linking to the ones before it. While blockchain technology offers new ways to protect data and ensure privacy, it also brings its own set of challenges that need to be tackled to make sure it's used safely"-- Provided by publisher.
