Learn about cryptography and cryptocurrencies, so you can build
highly secure, decentralized applications and conduct trusted
in-app transactions. Key Features Get to grips with the underlying
technical principles and implementations of blockchain Build
powerful applications using Ethereum to secure transactions and
create smart contracts Explore cryptography, mine cryptocurrencies,
and solve scalability issues with this comprehensive guide Book
DescriptionA blockchain is a distributed ledger that is replicated
across multiple nodes and enables immutable, transparent and
cryptographically secure record-keeping of transactions. The
blockchain technology is the backbone of cryptocurrencies, and it
has applications in finance, government, media and almost all other
industries. Mastering Blockchain, Second Edition has been
thoroughly updated and revised to provide a detailed description of
this leading technology and its implementation in the real world.
This book begins with the technical foundations of blockchain
technology, teaching you the fundamentals of distributed systems,
cryptography and how it keeps data secure. You will learn about the
mechanisms behind cryptocurrencies and how to develop applications
using Ethereum, a decentralized virtual machine. You will also
explore different other blockchain solutions and get an
introduction to business blockchain frameworks under Hyperledger, a
collaborative effort for the advancement of blockchain technologies
hosted by the Linux Foundation. You will also be shown how to
implement blockchain solutions beyond currencies, Internet of
Things with blockchain, blockchain scalability, and the future
scope of this fascinating and powerful technology. What you will
