Many online applications, especially in the financial industries,
are running on blockchain technologies in a decentralized manner,
without the use of an authoritative entity or a trusted third
party. Such systems are only secured by cryptographic protocols and
a consensus mechanism. As blockchain-based solutions will continue
to revolutionize online applications in a growing digital market in
the future, one needs to identify the principal opportunities and
potential risks. Hence, it is unavoidable to learn the mathematical
and cryptographic procedures behind blockchain technology in order
to understand how such systems work and where the weak points are.
Cryptographic Primitives in Blockchain Technology provides an
introduction to the mathematical and cryptographic concepts behind
blockchain technologies and shows how they are applied in
blockchain-based systems. This includes an introduction to the
general blockchain technology approaches that are used to build the
so-called immutable ledgers, which are based on cryptographic
signature schemes. As future quantum computers will break some of
the current cryptographic primitive approaches, Andreas Bolfing
considers their security and presents the current research results
that estimate the impact on blockchain-based systems if some of the
cryptographic primitive break. Based on the example of Bitcoin, he
shows that weak cryptographic primitives pose a possible danger for
the ledger, which can be overcome through the use of the so-called
post-quantum cryptographic approaches.
